Admission Policies

All instruction takes place in English and students must, at a minimum, be able to read, write and speak English fluently. We do not currently offer an admission option for students who do not possess a high school diploma or equivalent (G.E.D.). Applicants must demonstrate the ability to fulfill program requirements through the admissions interview process.

Recognition of credits transferred from other institutions

Bodhi Panya Institute has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other school, college or university and does not accept transfer credits from any other educational institution.

If a student has completed class hours at another massage school approved by the California Massage Therapy Council ("CAMTC"), the student must request a transcript from that school along with the transcript of hours completed at Bodhi Panya Institute when he or she submits an application for a certified massage therapist with the CAMTC. CAMTC will evaluate the transcript from Bodhi Panya Institute along with the transcripts of any other CAMTC-approved massage schools attended by the student to determine if the student meets the CAMTC education requirements for a certified massage therapist. If a student has attended more than one massage school it is the student's responsibility to determine if the hours completed at Bodhi Panya Institute plus the hours completed at another massage school meet the education requirements of the CAMTC.

Language proficiency

The language of instruction at Bodhi Panya Institute is English, and educational programs are taught in no other language at this time. Bodhi Panya Institute does not provide English language services such as ESL training and determines English language proficiency through the prospective student interview process conducted prior to admission. 

English Proficiency Pre-Enrollment Requirements for student applicants who have not graduated from high school or other postsecondary education where instruction is in English: 

  1. Written Test: applicants will be required to pass a written test assessing their English language proficiency.

  2. Class Attendance: Prior to enrollment, applicants must attend at least one class to meet with our instructors. This allows us to assess the applicant’s ability to understand English instruction and to benefit from our program.

  3. Instructor and Administrator Approval: Before applicant enrollment can be finalized, instructors and the School Administrator will review and sign off on the English Proficiency form for each applicant.

These measures are designed to support students whose native language is not English in their academic journey and to ensure that they have the necessary English language skills to succeed in our program.

International students

Bodhi Panya Institute does NOT currently participate in federal programs that authorize a school to accept international students for training. We are NOT able to assist international students with acquiring a student visa.
