Ashmead costs around$12K for their program. Excluding supplies. Just keep in mind that it can take a lot of upper body strength. It's good that you're looking into your options. Some places have more massage schools than others. I encourage you to take a tour at the campus/es. You do not want to waste money at an inferior institution.
