MaKami College

Big money grab, did the massage therapy program and tutoring is free which is nice but I had tutors cancel on me 10 minutes before I arrived and sometimes when being tutored they would be very distracted when their friends came in. The teachers were always very kind. I Was in a car accident and school threatened to kick me out for not showing up even though I had emailed someone informing them so they were very unorganized and didn’t communicate the best. Have about 40k in loans now, please avoid.

Taxes and student Loan payments are way too high to get anywhere after graduation. Next to no information how high taxes are provided in classes and proper guidance with student loans not given properly.

I am only here because you gave me a 10 min ad and I watched the whole thing. I had no idea what you were trying to sell or who you were representing. Hopefully you teach these brilliant tactics to these wonderful people.

Currently in second year blended and this school is a joke. They make first year look fun and second year is literally a waste of time.

I have 12 coupons from August 22,2019. I have been trying since January 2020 to get an appointment. First it’s Covid excuses. Then it’s we aren’t taking clients. Now it’s we are only taking 20 clients every 2 weeks. I have been told they will call me? This business sure has come unresponsive to the public all I ever get is run around and excuses. I guess they are just waiting for me to give up so they don’t have to honor the coupons they sold me over 2 years ago.

I started my 3000 hour advanced clinical massage therapist program in September 2018. I finished the program April 2020 and while no one could have prepared for what happened in March, the school worked very hard to ensure our program wasn't negatively affected by the restrictions. We were able to graduate on time with some minor changes in the schedule, luckily for us we were basically at the point that all we had left for content was a few classes and a lot of review for our finals. With the changes that occurred we faced this together. Although graduating a program as such in a time where we couldn't practice took some wind out of the sails but hey not much we could do. Despite having not massaged someone for months, and all the new policies regarding massage for when it was opened, finding a new place of employment was fairly stress free given the situation, one interview had the RMT doing it saying I had a lot of knowledge in the field and at first I was like, nah no way but the program really gave me an edge, also my hard work but hey haha I'm humble. There were times in the program I was wondering why we did some of the requirements we did but I learned that it really helped me adapt to working with many people helped build my stamina and wasn't quite so exhausted after hours and hours of massage. I really appreciate the content we learned and the instructors for doing their best to ensure we understood the content. I'd say on average the program helps more students become better therapists than some of the other places however also know its very student dependent on applying the lessons learned. Thank you staff for trying their best to make the experience wonderful and as stress free as possible.

MaKami College offers a 3000 hour RMT program (the highest hours available in AB) (International Standard), a health care aide program, a security guard program, and the master instructor program at its Edmonton campus.

They offer free iPads for your textbooks, skills workshops, tutoring, on-site group ESL classes and tons of resourcing, as well as on-site hiring fairs, if required so that you can succeed in your journey to your new career.

They helped me get to a new life as an RMT. I'm now taking my master instructor program.

The faculty are skilled, competent and above all else, kind. The administration goes over and above to figure out funding and how to best help get you from.point a to b.

Free tours are available.

It's been 4 years since I graduated and I have to say I dont regret going to this school. I feel I have more knowledge and skill than many of my competitors. My only wish is that I knew more about handling my taxes, and that the loan was smaller. Luckily the gov took student loan payments over because of the 'pandemic. ' I didnt realize how much the government took of our wages away in taxes. Makami should implement an entire unit of study on taxes and provide sharp accountants to the students from the start.

The oldest reception is very rude. I hope the manager should let her go so the school can give a chance to young people. Nice and beauty is basic element of reception. I saw you used lots of money to post advitisements, but the door of your business is rude and old, it must be very difficult to the owner. I like the school except reception.

IF YOU WANT TO START YOUR CAREER IN MASSAGE THERAPY, THE BEST PLACE IS MAKAMI COLLEGE

In dis college.
Thank you Blanca for all your help and supports. Keep up the good work

I had an amazing experience so far with my student advisor Bea. She made it more than easy and I can honestly say I am not nervous about moving forward. The HCA program cost is exceptionally priced and everything is included, no hidden fees. Each staff member was more than helpful and actually made it fun to apply. Bea, made the application and student funding so easy, I still feel like I didn’t do anything. Seriously that’s how easy it was. Quick, efficient and exceptional value.

Review from a deep tissue massage client. You can only book appointments on Mondays so if I forget that is bothersome. Generally it is a 3 week wait for an appointment and the students are hit and miss in quality (their experience ranges from a couple months into the course to almost 2 years). All that being said, this is a school and as such all of the above issues are to be expected. The price reflects what your are getting. I supplement my regular professional massages with appointments at the school. I know what I will be getting; these students are learning but they are always professional and friendly. I will continue to go and recommend to others who may be looking for a cheaper alternative and don't have serious, specified issues.

Worst experience ever! Would not recommend going at all. Want a good massage go to MH Vicars school. Its 35 bucks and you get an amazing massage and they treat you really good there. Makami is a serious joke

Tomorrow will be my 3 year anniversary as an employee at MaKami College.
I heard mixed reviews about it before and thus started with mixed emotions, leaving my old job not knowing how everything will turn out.
The last three years have been flying by, as it was only one month. I love my job, enjoy the company of my coworkers and in general the climate at the college. As with every workplace there are not only good days, but so far the good days have been the overwhelming majority.
The communication with the students is generally positive. If have seen many instances where staff members have done everything in their power to help MaKami Colleges students succeed.
Overall I find myself in a fun, supportive, and rarely ever boring environment.

This school is fantastic! I started off as a student in their 2 year program and now I'm an employee of the school! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing! They're always helpful and easy to talk to! 100% recommend this school to anyone wanting to pursue massage therapy as a career!

As an employee at MaKami College for nearly 2 years now, I can say that it offers its students the benefits of pathways to enhancing their education and discovering new abilities that they were not aware of.
The environment of the College is fresh, comfortable and most of all welcoming to all.
Getting a massage from the students is phenomenal and highly recommended.

The new campus is great, and things are still being added! The faculty and staff are professional but also very approachable.

I've gone for a few massages there and you can definitely see the skill progression that the students go through as going to the same student RMT 1 month apart is a different experience; not only in their skills and knowledge, but their confidence level as well!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great massage at a bargain price.

Students receive High Quality Instruction following High Educational Standards to ensure Students Graduate after completing 3000 hours of intensive hands on training.

Thank you so much to my awesome student advisor Barinder, who got my student loan approved.so excited!

I went to this school and now I am in instructor at the college. I loved going to this school so much I started teaching here. It's the staff that make such a difference, I am amazed at the dedication and percerverince of these wonderful people. I am so lucky to be apart of a team of people who care so much.

Job interview process was a joke with Roxy who works here who is too young & inexperienced & dressed & acted like she works in a massage parlor instead of a school. Immature.
Student massages are sometimes a rip off due to 6 month students being assigned deep tissue clients. A 6 month student has NO IDEA what deep tissue is supposed to be & so the massages aren't deep & suck big time.
Lastly, scheduled an orthopedic massage while still at capilano location. Even though orthopedics was done for the year the appt.was wrongly scheduled & the front desk said nothing too when i arrived, so had a normal massage which isnt what I booked. Both the call center AND front desk messed it up. If you want a relaxation non deep massage, this is all this place is good for.

Best school in Edmonton, the instructors and staff make you feel welcome front the moment you enter the door. All instructors were true professionals, very knowledgeable, patient and caring individuals. They all want their students to succeed. I highly recommend.

A money grab, waste of time speaking as a student I wish I had never taken classes here. Truly disgraceful as a school DO NOT GO HERE.

Need an answer from someone about literally anything and you'll likely be hung up on delays, miscommunication or flat out forgotten about.

Student intake for new classes didn't seem to have a limit often resulting in big classes.

Seems as if they're more interested in making a profit and name than locking down a ciricumlum and material.imo not worth the tuition they charge
