If you have a massage diploma from a school outside of Quebec, RMQ will require that you come for an Equivalency Test. It is a 2-hour private session where we will analyse your diplomas, assess your theoretical and practical skills in massage  and issue a recommendation report to the RMQ. If your diplomas add up to 400 hours, and your theoretical and practical skills are satisfactory, we will recommend your immediate membership to the RMQ.
If it is not the case, we will take you to Steps 2 or 3 that you can read below.

Cost of Equivalency Test:
$200 (Non taxable)
Includes Diploma Analysis, Theoretical and Practical Evaluations, and Recommendation Report to RMQ 

If you have a massage diploma with a good foundation but are missing some required hours or are missing some of the required courses, or if you have a diploma in a similar field such as physiotherapy or kinesitherapy that includes some massage training modules, you must register for a Massage Training Upgrade.

The upgrade, if done with our school, may include some required theoretical courses (Cost $200 for course manuals and course evaluations) that you will read from home, and/or some private training sessions that you will do in person with our trainers.

The number of required Private Courses will be between 1 and 4 depending on our assessment during Step 1. Each course lasts 2 hours and costs $200.

Upon successful completion of your training upgrade, we will recommend your adhesion to the RMQ. We will not issue a diploma for you, we will rather inform the RMQ that you meet the 400h theoretical and practical standards, making you eligible to work in Quebec as a massage therapist.

If you have some massage training but your Equivalency Test indicates that you are far from the number of hours or far from the skills required to meet the standards established in Quebec for a massage therapy practitioner, or if you have studied massage as part of an aesthetics diploma, or if you wish to receive a actual 400h massage training diploma, you will need to take the complete 400-hour course in massage therapy with our schoolor with any other recognized school of your choice. After which, you will have an 400-hour massage diploma and will be able to work in Quebec as a registered massage therapist. 

Email us at academie@vibrationsom.com with your full name, your phone number and attach a copy of your diplomas. Upon a quick review we will contact you to let you know what are your next steps.
