BUILD A CAREER YOU CAN BE PROUD OF
Train to become a massage therapist in Panama City.

Ready to take your working life in a new direction? Massage therapy offers the opportunity to learn a skilled profession, work directly with people, and help clients make time for their well-being. If you want work with a personal connection and a craft you can keep developing, this could be your next chapter.
Alpha is looking for people who are serious about becoming massage therapists. Whether you are changing careers or choosing a new professional direction, bring your reliability, communication skills, and willingness to learn. No prior massage experience or massage license is required to begin training.
INVEST IN YOURSELF. LEARN A PROFESSION.
• Build practical, hands-on skills through structured education and practice.
• Develop the communication and professionalism needed to earn clients’ trust.
• Prepare to pursue Florida massage therapy licensure and opportunities to work as a massage therapist.
• Work toward a career with Hand & Stone after completing training, obtaining the required license, and meeting hiring requirements.
This path takes commitment. You will need to attend classes, study, complete practical training, and follow through on examinations and licensing steps. We want applicants who are ready to do that work and build a future in massage therapy.
YOUR TRAINING STARTS AT ALPHA
Alpha School of Massage’s 501-hour hybrid program combines online coursework with required hands-on training at 3009 Highway 77, Suites O & P, Panama City, FL 32405.
The next day and evening classes begin November 9, 2026. Alpha currently lists evening classes Monday–Wednesday, 5–10 p.m. Confirm the November cohort’s exact weekly schedule, including daytime hours, with an enrollment officer. Plan for campus attendance and study time.
SUPPORT WHILE YOU BUILD YOUR CAREER
Tuition assistance may be available to approved candidates through Hand & Stone, subject to written eligibility and sponsorship terms. An enrollment conversation will cover costs, assistance, and any employment commitment before you agree.
Enrolled massage therapy students may also be considered for paid Spa Associate work while attending school, depending on openings and schedule fit. This is an optional addition to being a student, not an independent SA opportunity or a guaranteed job. Chris and Tommy can refer interested students to Maria after confirming enrollment.
