What is accreditation and why is it important to you?
MTTI is accredited as a post-secondary educational institution by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Accreditation is a voluntary professional peer review by which educational institutional programs are provided technical assistance and evaluated for quality based on academic and administrative standards established by the United States Department of Education. Accreditation is important because it represents that a school has gone through rigorous reviews insuring the highest of standards.  We are proud to be accredited by ABHES.  As a consumer it is important for you to know that only a small percentage of massage schools are accredited.  MTTI is of the opinion that the public is best served when its public and private educational institutions are accredited.

The following data has been compiled by MTTI and reported to ABHES:

Retention Rate is the percentage of students that complete the full school program.
Placement Rate is the number of eligible graduates who are working in the massage field 90 days after graduation.
