COVID Precautions:

The health of our students and teachers is our primary concern, while still providing an excellent educational experience that provides the necessary skills to be successful in animal massage. We will still be providing hands-on training, but any class that is lecture or discussion will be moving online, either recorded or live on Zoom. Masks are optional in classes and physical distance maintained whenever possible.

At Bancroft School of Massage Therapy, our graduates are successfully blazing the way to bringing massage into the main stream of modalities that are available to animal owners. We strive to be the benchmark in the massage education field. You can complete the Equine Massage Certification Program in 10 months in our new Fast-Track program. Course length: 200 hours—160 hours of classes, online and in person, and 40 hours of internship done in your local area.

We limit our class size to a 4 to 1 ratio of students to instructor. Currently we are limiting class sizes to 8 students.

Coursework includes: Equine Anatomy & Physiology, Equine Behavior, Handling and Safety, Massage Techniques, Stress Point Therapy, Sports Massage, Equine First Aid and Bandaging, Business Practices/Ethics, Marketing, Internship, and more.  Click here for a complete list of courses.
