MaKami College Edmonton - Edmonton

The new campus is great, and things are still being added! The faculty and staff are professional but also very approachable. I've gone for a few massages there and you can definitely see the skill progression that the students go through as going to the same student RMT 1 month apart is a different experience; not only in their skills and knowledge, but their confidence level as well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great massage at a bargain price.

As an employee at MaKami College for nearly 2 years now, I can say that it offers its students the benefits of pathways to enhancing their education and discovering new abilities that they were not aware of. The environment of the College is fresh, comfortable and most of all welcoming to all. Getting a massage from the students is phenomenal and highly recommended.

Review from a deep tissue massage client. You can only book appointments on Mondays so if I forget that is bothersome. Generally it is a 3 week wait for an appointment and the students are hit and miss in quality (their experience ranges from a couple months into the course to almost 2 years). All that being said, this is a school and as such all of the above issues are to be expected. The price reflects what your are getting. I supplement my regular professional massages with appointments at the school. I know what I will be getting; these students are learning but they are always professional and friendly. I will continue to go and recommend to others who may be looking for a cheaper alternative and don't have serious, specified issues.

I have 12 coupons from August 22, 2019. I have been trying since January 2020 to get an appointment. First it’s Covid excuses. Then it’s we aren’t taking clients. Now it’s we are only taking 20 clients every 2 weeks. I have been told they will call me? This business sure has come unresponsive to the public all I ever get is run around and excuses. I guess they are just waiting for me to give up so they don’t have to honor the coupons they sold me over 2 years ago.

It's been 4 years since I graduated and I have to say I dont regret going to this school. I feel I have more knowledge and skill than many of my competitors. My only wish is that I knew more about handling my taxes, and that the loan was smaller. Luckily the gov took student loan payments over because of the 'pandemic.' I didnt realize how much the government took of our wages away in taxes. Makami should implement an entire unit of study on taxes and provide sharp accountants to the students from the start.

I am only here because you gave me a 10 min ad and I watched the whole thing. I had no idea what you were trying to sell or who you were representing. Hopefully you teach these brilliant tactics to these wonderful people.

MaKami College offers a 3000 hour RMT program (the highest hours available in AB)(International Standard) , a health care aide program, a security guard program, and the master instructor program at its Edmonton campus. They offer free iPads for your textbooks, skills workshops, tutoring, on-site group ESL classes and tons of resourcing, as well as on-site hiring fairs, if required so that you can succeed in your journey to your new career. They helped me get to a new life as an RMT. I'm now taking my master instructor program. The faculty are skilled, competent and above all else, kind. The administration goes over and above to figure out funding and how to best help get you from.point a to b. Free tours are available.

I started my 3000 hour advanced clinical massage therapist program in September 2018. I finished the program April 2020 and while no one could have prepared for what happened in March, the school worked very hard to ensure our program wasn't negatively affected by the restrictions. We were able to graduate on time with some minor changes in the schedule, luckily for us we were basically at the point that all we had left for content was a few classes and a lot of review for our finals. With the changes that occurred we faced this together. Although graduating a program as such in a time where we couldn't practice took some wind out of the sails but hey not much we could do. Despite having not massaged someone for months, and all the new policies regarding massage for when it was opened, finding a new place of employment was fairly stress free given the situation, one interview had the RMT doing it saying I had a lot of knowledge in the field and at first I was like, nah no way but the program really gave me an edge, also my hard work but hey haha I'm humble. There were times in the program I was wondering why we did some of the requirements we did but I learned that it really helped me adapt to working with many people helped build my stamina and wasn't quite so exhausted after hours and hours of massage. I really appreciate the content we learned and the instructors for doing their best to ensure we understood the content. I'd say on average the program helps more students become better therapists than some of the other places however also know its very student dependent on applying the lessons learned. Thank you staff for trying their best to make the experience wonderful and as stress free as possible.
