Texas Massage Academy · Partner Program Add Online Theory to Your School keep your hands-on
Imagine offering a polished online theory program next week — without building an LMS, writing curriculum, or hiring a single theory instructor. We deliver the 231 hours of online didactic; your students come right back to your campus for the hands-on. TDLR-aligned, live in days, and completely free for partner schools. The only question is why you'd keep doing it the hard way.
The Theory Is the Hard Part. Let Us Carry It.
Standing up a quality online theory program is the expensive, time-consuming side of running a massage school — the platform, the content, the instructors, the updates. Meanwhile the part you're great at, the part students actually come to you for, is the hands-on table work.
Texas Massage Academy is a TDLR-approved school (Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation, license MS1040). Refer your students to our online didactic, and they complete the 231 hours of theory with us — then come right back to you for hands-on training and clinicals.
No system to build. No extra payroll. No surprise costs. Just a modern hybrid option you can offer students this week.
