Spa Tech Institute Reviews

Just a quick comment....now that I am in the business full force...I feel truly lucky that I have had the quality of training, education and teachers that I had!!! I've been thrown into chaotic situations and felt calm and confident that I could handle it. My clients are coming back to me and I am told often that they feel listened to, cared for and very 'zen' when they are around me. Unlike a traditional academic environment, Spa Tech does not focus only on muscles but teaches students how to be present; holding their best intention for the clients best wellbeing. Clients absolutely feel this; one said she wants to take me home, give her warm milk and tuck her in at night. :)

Spa Tech has changed my life. After 23 years working in the medical profession, I made the decision to go back to school or aesthetics. The teachers are professional, and do everthing in their power to help you succeed. I graduated, and passed my state boards with flying colors. I enjoyed my learning experience so much that I continued on to theraputic massage therapy. I am not only a student, I am also a client.
Thank you Spa Tech for a life changing experience.

Deciding to go to Spa Tech has been the best decision of my life. Right out of high school I attended college. I was a very good student but I didn't know what I wanted to do, and it just didn't work for me. I took a few years to get my life together, and really figure out what I wanted to do. Massage therapy is something I've always been interested in, and decided to start looking at schools. Once I found Spa Tech I knew it was the right place for me. From the day I came in to look at the school right up to present day every single person here has been nothing but supportive, kind, and just all around amazing. In my entire academic career from as far back as I can remember, I have never had as amazing of teachers as I have here. Stellar doesn't really come close. They are right by your side the entire time. They all have amazing experiences to share. Best of all, they want you to succeed. If something isn't working for you, they find a way to make it work. No one is left behind or made to feel like they can't do it. My confidence and excitement about my future has tripled in the time I've been here. I could not have chosen a better career path for myself, and couldn't have found a better school to learn massage from. I'm currently in the theraputic program, and will be continuing with the holistic program right after. I can't wait to become a successful massage therapist, and I know I will be one thanks to this amazing school.

It's important to remember that reviews on this site are not verified for authenticity. For instance, there was no student named Jane D. in Plymouth during 2009.

The education at Spa Tech is industry focused and specific to what you need to be successful. The school is owner operated and puts a very high emphasis on quality. Unlike large for profit schools, Spa Tech has a well defined program that is designed to optimise your education, not use up clock hours to get more financial aid. You won't have to take keyboarding skills or other unrelated subjects or spend excessive time in the student clinic.

The best and only realistic way to evaluate a school is to visit the school and be sure to get a session in the student clinic. Talk to the students and see how professional they are and how happy they are with their education. You should also talk to employers to see which graduates they prefer to hire.

Choosing a school is an important step in your career. Choose wisely.

I did the massage and aesthetics programs at Spa Tech Institute. It was the Best experience of my life. I went the traditional route for college and have a BA but after working in he corporate world for a few years realized that i wanted to do more meaningful work. I started by taken the Therapeutic Massage Training Program 3 years ago. The program was very full and i learned an amazing amount of material. The classes were very organized and each teacher brought their passion to the school. The teachers all had professional practices and experience and i still stay in touch with a few of them. Immediately after school i started working for an office which had other therapists. It was interesting to me that i knew more types of massage than my coworkers who went to other schools. AFter a year i opened my own business which is doing very well. ABout a year ago i decided i wanted to expand my business and be able to offer my skin care and spa services so i went back to Spa Tech for the Advanced Aesthetics program. I passed my state boards without any problems and learned a ton about antiaging and holistic modalities. I now have a few people who are working out of my spa. Thank you Spa Tech. I love you all very much for the gifts you have given to me. You helped me to manifest my dreams.

Remember when you are deciding to go to SpaTech that it is a certificate program and therefore it has much lower standards and expectations than a traditional university. Do not expect the same level of instruction or curriculum. Most of the instructors are not trained teachers. It will be up to you to get the most out of the program. For example, they give you assignments and homework, but then never collect it or review it. They also tend to pass people who would definitely flunk out of a regular college.

Going to Spa Tech in Plymouth for Esthetician was the worst decision in my life. The staff is very unprofessional and likes to gossip. There is no type of support in this school. Basically you are put in the atmosphere of a spa like area (equiptment ect..) and given books and you have to make what you want out of it. The teachers spend more time being nosy and care more to gossip about students and staff other then they do helping you. In my opinion the staff is very miserable and like to take out there negative personal life on whoever crosses their path. This place was very negative, is out for your money, has a high drop rate, and is not at all what i expected from a so called "school".
