Swedish Institute College

Worst school ever. Administration/Registration/Financial Aid is plagued with incompetence and lack of quality. It is a joke that they are even accredited school. It was like this when I attended in 2001 and apparently is still the same in 2015.

Try not to put much weight on reviews from people who have never attended the school. There may have been administrative confusion for some but everybody knows we all make mistakes. I feel compelled to put in my two cents after reading reviews from people who decided not to attend SI.
The school is top notch. I admit that I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of material that was required to commit to memory in order to pass the rigorous testing. There were always those who had to repeat a semester around me. I was always under stress to keep up. It was very hard.
The fact is that the state board exam was relatively easy compared to some of the tests that we took at Swedish Institute. The National Certification exam was quite easy to do after all that we were required to learn. More importantly, I will attest to the fact that even though I have been in practice for years, I still draw on what I learned there almost every day. There are times that I am filled with excitement at the fact that I decided to get my massage degree at Swedish Institute because while I was learning some of these things I could not understand why we were required to know them, but then, low and behold, the need arose and i was able to educate my customers. These instances are a testament to the high level of thorough and relevant training.
