Q: What is the mission of your program?
A: Our mission is to provide a very high-quality, holistic education that is convenient, affordable,
and thorough, to prepare a new generation of massage therapists to help the world be a little better place. We want to see people
feel good about their careers and lives, make a difference in the world, and help people, all while upholding professionalism and
ethics, and practicing self-care to reduce the risk of personal injury and burnout.
Q: How can you afford to offer such a complete
program at such an affordable rate?
A: At the Pyramid, it is our mission to make things as affordable as possible. Since we opened
our doors in 2007, we have made a name for ourselves providing the highest quality products and services at the best prices around.
We know how to operate efficiently without waste. The integrated distance format also cuts down on overhead expenses, allowing us
to take a smaller incoming class size while keeping tuition low--giving the student lots of personalized attention via
one of the most inexpensive programs around.
Q: Is your program accredited?
A: The short answer is no, our program is not accredited.
But we are not accredited by choice for two reasons. First, because of the unique all-encompassing program we offer, it is difficult
to find an organization that is able to oversee accreditation for all of the fields we combine. The study of holistic massage
is so unique that very few organizations are qualified to set or judge standards any better than we can. Second, even if such a board
existed, the cost of accreditation for a school like ours would be outrageously expensive, forcing us to increase our tuition dramatically.
Honestly, we would rather put our own resources into our teaching. In most cases, the fact that we are not accredited will not pose
any particular difficulty for our students, but it is each student's responsibility to check on all licensing requirements in her
or his home state to be sure.
Q: How accessible are your professors?
A: Do not let the credentials of our faculty fool you; we
have assembled a fantastic team of instructors, but these people are quite down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and completely interested
in making sure that you get the best instruction possible. After all, as a graduate of the Pyramid program, you will be not only representing
yourself, but you will be representing us. Our professors are genuinely nice people who work in the field and have the teaching skills
to give you what you need. Even during the distance portions, your instructors are just a mouse click or phone call away.
