Online/Distance Education

What I want is a solid home based course of training. I would like to learn what I would at a campus based course of training or as close to it as I can get. My wife will be the person that I will train on and the person that will be the one that I give massages to after I am done with the home based course.

Of course, I understand I will have to buy items like massage tables, etc. for use at home during my training and afterwards. This home based course does not need to be one that will make my eligible to sit for any type of certification exam as it is my intent to do this in my home only for my wife.

I live in a remote, NW KS community that has no community college within a reasonable drive or any other campus based programs for that matter. So online, home based is my only option!

One online program I could find had a 200 hour on campus portion and seemed kind of expensive for what it offered outside of those 200 hours. However, it was a course that met the requirements to sit for the NCBTMB exam after the 200 hours on campus. That did make me feel better about the course content but I doubt I will travel to FT Collins, CO for a month which makes that part of the course not available to me and that cost built in for those 200 hours makes no sense as I won't see those 200 hours.

It may seem overkill for home massages when I could just buy a book but I actually want to learn this the right way.

thank you for any help you may be able to provide!
