A Hands-On Education

As part of an education at Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes, learn in a way that fits your learning style. While you can expect some coursework to include lectures and textbooks for education in anatomy and the systems of the human body, that’s not all.

You can start applying what you’ve learned by providing massage services to actual clients in our student salon and spa. All services are provided under the supervision of licensed professionals, providing you with individualized instruction and the support you need to feel confident in your education.

Financial Aid Options

If the cost of the program is holding you back from pursuing an education in massage, it’s possible to do what you love at Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes. You can apply for financial aid to balance the cost of pursuing an education in massage. Financial aid is available to those who qualify.

Talk to our Dream Makers to learn more about what options may be available to you, such as federal grants, loans, and monthly payment plans.

Each of our locations offers different class times to meet your busy schedule. Classes are often held three days per week to meet the 700 hours for licensure, and we offer different start dates throughout the year. Reach out to learn when classes start next!
