If you are exploring the idea of professional massage therapy training, it's important
to make sure that the schools you're considering have been accredited by one or
more of the United States Department of Education approved accrediting agencies.
Accreditation is the review process that accreding agencies use to scrutinize educational
programs for quality assurance and improvement.
