INVEST IN YOURSELF. LEARN A PROFESSION.

• Build practical, hands-on skills through structured education and practice.

This path takes commitment. You will need to attend classes, study, complete practical training, and follow through on examinations and licensing steps. We want applicants who are ready to do that work and build a future in massage therapy.

YOUR TRAINING STARTS AT ALPHA

Alpha School of Massage's 501-hour hybrid program combines online coursework with required hands-on training at 3009 Highway 77, Suites O & P, Panama City, FL 32405. The next day and evening classes begin November 9, 2026. Alpha currently lists evening classes Monday-Wednesday, 5-10 p.m. Confirm the November cohort's exact weekly schedule, including daytime hours, with an enrollment officer. Plan for campus attendance and study time.

SUPPORT WHILE YOU BUILD YOUR CAREER

Tuition assistance may be available to approved candidates through Hand & Stone, subject to written eligibility and sponsorship terms. An enrollment conversation will cover costs, assistance, and any employment commitment before you agree. Enrolled massage therapy students may also be considered for paid Spa Associate work while attending school, depending on openings and schedule fit. This is an optional addition to being a student, not an independent SA opportunity or a guaranteed job. Chris and Tommy can refer interested students to Maria after confirming enrollment.
