To become a licensed massage therapist, you must put in between 500 and 2000 hours of training. That translates into between six months and two years of training at a board-certified college. The exact time will depend on which province or state that you would like to practice in.
Most states in the US and the National Certification Board have a minimum standard of 500 hours of education. That can usually be completed in about six months if you go full time, and one year part time.
The length of time necessary depends on the school you choose, the programs they offer, and the state requirements you intend to fulfill for licensure (if necessary in the state where you want to practice.)
The program I chose took about six months. You can investigate this option at http://asismassage.com/ or call the school at 928.639.3455.
Best of luck to you!
You can take full time or part time classes so it depends on which one you opt for also most states require you to have practice hours from 500 to 600 before you can take the certification exam.
