Estonian Massage and Therapy School (EMTS) operates in the health and rehabilitation services curriculum group; training masseurs, massage therapists and animal masseurs. Our mission is to improve people's life quality by training and inspiring masterful, compassionate and client-focused massage therapist. With 23 years of experience, EMTS is a valued leader in Estonia and neighboring countries, offering comprehensive and learner-centered education. We stand for the best massage service; encouraging people to practice healthy lifestyles. EMTS is private vocational school with the largest number of students (405) in Estonia. Since private vocational education institutions operate under conditions of strong competition and without state subsidies, the financing of the Erasmus+ program plays an important part in fulfilling the sustainability of EMTS's foreign internships. Active participation in various international mobilties has enabled the school to find cooperation partners in different countries; and has increased the school's international reach, allowing students to gain experience of practicing and working in foreign countries. The profession of masseur is a brand in itself on the Estonian labor market.
