Testimonials and comments from students: ·
This is a great school. I learned a lot, and had a
wonderful time. ·
Very comprehensive – everything needed to succeed
in massage. ·
The teaching style is easy to follow, making
learning easy. ·
Comprehensive instruction of all areas: mental
preparedness, sensitivity to client and practitioner’s needs, philosophy of
touch, in addition to posture and techniques, is especially valuable. ·
I feel very confident about applying the techniques
I have learned. Hats off to a great program and teachers! Consistency and Integration: Most classes are scheduled weekday evenings and
weekend days, with high consistency for your scheduling ease. This works better
than having many short topics spread out widely in scheduling times, because
your training is better integrated and it helps keep your costs down
remarkably. Classes are off for one month summer holiday early August through
early September, and two weeks for the winter holidays – these are the best
times to plan extra long vacations, though we always do our best to
accommodate work and family needs. All
classes count toward the HHP. You
may start with either Level 1A or 1B, or any class without pre-requisites. PROGRAM AND COURSE

and Related Policies
Massage
Technician: $560 per level 1 100 credit hour class Massage
Therapist 500 credit hours: Only $4090 total at current tuition, minus
applicable discounts. Holistic
Health Practitioner additional 500 credit hours with externship: Only $4160
additional (only $8250 total at current tuition for 1000 credit hours with
externship option, minus applicable discounts). Externships are usually paid,
depending on the student’s individual arrangements with employers/mentors,
thus adding even more affordability to our program. Easy
payment plans: No requirement to pay up front except for the class you are
beginning! First Level 1 class is only $560. A standard one time registration
of $100 is all that is required to be eligible for the low current tuition of
$9.90 per credit hour for all other classes, except rare special elective
seminars. (The unregistered general public rate is $1 more per credit hour.) No
obligations beyond the quarter, no interest charged. Simple and clear. If a
student wishes to further split any class tuition payment and pay half of it
midway through a class, just add 10%, or the 10% fee is waived if taking 200
or more hours in the quarter. If you choose to pay via credit card (Visa or
Mastercard are accepted for your convenience), it is much like a monthly
payment plan because it is usually not billed/due for a month or longer. Some
student loans are also available to qualified students. Look
on the schedule and news page for various current discounts which further
reduce the low costs. If
you have looked elsewhere, you know that this is by far the best value and
fairest approach available. Books:
Approximately $100-250 per 500 hours of program. Many free provided handouts
greatly reduce book costs. Massage
Tables: $400-950 for set. You are responsible for your own linens and table,
though alternatives are available until you get your table. To maximize your learning,
plan on getting your table set sooner rather than later in your program. It
is the essential tool for massage, and a good one will last you for decades. Transcript/certificate:
nominal fee of $15 per issuance. *Because
last minute registrations cause problems, previous and current students
registering less than 5 days prior to first day of class results in 5% higher
late tuition. New students are exempted from this policy for their first
class as a courtesy. Optional
externship program fees: $2 per credit hour. *Special
Limited Time Offer: No Transfer Fee
for the first 100 hours of past learning that is applicable to our program
(one time for new transfer students). Transfer students should meet with the
director to discuss their eligibility and to design their studies to best
suit their individual desires and goals. Standard transfer fees: $1 per hour,
unless waived during special offers – check the current news and schedule
page. Refund
Policy: Cancellations need to be made in writing, and result in prorated
refund for class hours remaining minus $50 class deposit/processing fee. The
$100 one-time registration is non-refundable. The student has a right to a full refund of all charges less
the amount of $100 for the registration fee if he/she cancels enrollment
prior to or on the first day of instruction. In addition, the student may
withdraw from a course after instruction has started and receive a pro rata
refund (minus $50 processing fee per class) for the unused portion of the
tuition and other refundable charges if the student has completed 60% or less
of the scheduled class instruction. For example if a student withdraws at the
50% point of a 100 credit hour $990 course, the refund would be $990 x .50
portion of the class paid for but not attended = $495 - $50 processing fee =
$445 refund. Cancellations or withdrawals require a written notice mailed to
C. Bo Milan, Director, Natural Success School of Holistics, 1106 2nd

Our
classes are experiences of nurturing community – places to be yourself and
respectful of others. Students are expected to be and behave as mutually
caring and cooperative adults. In all activities, students should take care
of themselves well, and refrain from possibly injurious action to themselves
or others. Unreasonable non-cooperation, disrespect, disruption, harassment,
or failure to meet class requirements are grounds for dismissal at the
instructor’s and director’s discretion. Refund policy applies. This is indeed
rare, but needs to be clear for the protection of the high quality of
everyone’s experiences in our classes. Institutional
Information: The Natural Success School of Holistics is a legitimate
vocational college, fully state licensed/approved, and registered with the
national certification exam board as an institution training professionals
and granting certificates in massage and holistic health. These are
overwhelmingly the two standards used for licensing in this field. Please
note that purchased private accreditations are not required for licensing and
national certification. Some classes may be offered in conjunction with San
Dieguito Adult School. Student
evaluation is based on 1) The ability to demonstrate safe application of
techniques, 2) Constructive attendance of minimum 80 percent of scheduled
class hours, plus the missing hours made up through documented flexible
practice time, and 3) Where applicable, minimum 70% score on written
examinations covering key concepts taught. All
class hours are based on 50 minute standard academic hours. Minimum class
size: 8-12 at Director’s discretion. Attendance:
Minimum 80 percent of scheduled class hours, plus the missing hours made up through
documented flexible practice time. Personal
modesty is respected in all classes. Records
are retained for a minimum of five years after the student has graduated. This
institution does not offer English as a second language instruction. Work
referrals from inquiring employers are generally announced in advanced
classes. This
catalog is in effect through June1, 2010. The
tuition rate for classes taken during this catalog period is as stated for
registered students. Students
taking less than 100 hours per quarter continuously are considered occasional
students who may take classes casually at their leisure. Frequently
Asked Question: “Could you explain licensing levels and requirements?” In most local cities 500
or 1000 hours of training has been required to practice independently, and
100-200 hours of training may make a student employable by a chiropractic
office, spa, etc. with approved supervision. Some students choose to do that
and earn while continuing to learn. The 1000 hour Holistic Health
Practitioner has the most freedom in scope of practice, and the easiest
licensing requirements where applicable. More education results in more
respect and ease. California has a new statewide voluntary certification at
500 hours, and for a number of years at a 250 hour level, effective September
2009. 500+ hours is the most common standard for massage therapy nationally.
Licensing standards change, so students should request licensing
information directly from the jurisdiction of their choice, and are responsible
for further education, costs and other requirements as needed or desired. While we are very fair and consistent in practice, published
information (including any errors) does not constitute an agreement nor
contract, and information herein is subject
to change without notice. For
