Distance Learning

Massage & Bodywork Distance Learning Programs

The CAM&B Distance Programs will give you the knowledge to administer relaxing or invigorating massage & bodywork for the benefit of the animals in your life. And if you are an animal professional or massage therapist*, you will have a skill that will be invaluable as you pursue your chosen career. The Canine course is designed to supply you with the first 100 hours of study required by the NBCAAM.

CAM&B was developed to improve the lives of companion animals and, thereby, to improve the lives of the people who care for them. Once you have finished a program and submitted paperwork, you will receive a Certification of Completion.
