Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of our web site. Our intention here is to provide you with answers to some of the questions we hear most often from our students. If your question is not addressed below, please contact us at 262.692.9500. Massage Therapy Program FAQs
For information on our therapy programs click here To contact us click here It is our goal to make sure that our students grasp, understand, and can apply the material presented to them in class. We are committed to excellence and our curriculum expects a great deal from our students in order to train them to be competent, qualified massage therapists. In the same regard, Blue Sky expects to give the students a great deal in return. We understand our students have jobs, families, and lives outside of Blue Sky. Thus, to accommodate all of these factors, Blue Sky offers different classes to fit your schedule. We offer a full-time eleven and a half (11.5) month program and a part-time twenty three (23) month program. Full-time students: Full-time students enroll in the full day, 2 days (where available), or the 2 evening schedule and are finished in the time frames stated. The classes run a total of 46 weeks of classroom time (with expanded breaks scheduled throughout the school year). Part-time students: Part-time students enroll in either the day or evening classes and are required to attend only one day or night per week, thus half the time of a full-time student. This continues for 23 months (twice the time of a full-time student). Part-time students take science classes plus any specialty classes scheduled during this class time; then will complete all other requirements the following school year.
