COMMISSION on MASSAGE THERAPY ACCREDITATION
BTI is accredited by COMTA -- and is the first school in the Carolinas to have achieved this status. This voluntary process requires a school to demonstrate its ongoing compliance with a rigorous set of standards that represent a high level of accountability. There are fewer than 90 massage schools in the country that have earned COMTA accreditation.
COMTA is the only accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education that is dedicated to the massage therapy field. Their competency-based curriculum standards assure that students receive quality education and the public receives quality services.
