Accreditation from the CMTCA highlights the program's compliance with the highest national standards for massage therapy education, particularly with respect to the quality of its facilities, teaching practices, curriculum relevance, and the preparation of students for the demands of the profession.
Among the program's key strengths, the review committee noted:
- A rigorous, proactive, and structured approach to safety and hygiene in clinical learning environments, reflecting a strong culture of prevention, infection control, and shared responsibility.
- A comprehensive and detailed policy and procedures manual governing the operation of the student clinic, as well as a structured and ongoing process for collecting client feedback to support continuous service improvement.
- An extensive inventory of resources and subscriptions made available to faculty, staff, and students.
This preliminary accreditation also reflects the expertise of Collège Boréal's faculty and the support provided to its students, who benefit from a modern learning environment and meaningful practical experiences that help prepare them to enter the profession.
Through this rigorous evaluation by the CMTCA, Collège Boréal strengthens its position as a leader in health education in Northern Ontario and across the province, while helping meet growing workforce needs for qualified professionals in the field of therapeutic care.
