Tennessee School of Massage has an externship program in partnership with Living Health Day Spa.  The externship experience prepares students to go out into the real world, by providing graduates with a behind the scenes look at  how a real massage business works.  The educational experience is further enhanced by health forums, visiting lecturers and practitioners, and volunteer projects in athletic events.  Upon successful completion of the program, graduates receive a diploma and may apply to the Tennessee Massage Licensing Board for their state license or the respective boards of Arkansas, Mississippi or various other states.   Students come to Tennessee School of Massage from every part of the United States to become licensed massage therapists in health spas, chiropractic offices, cruise ships, physical therapy clinics, hospitals, retirement communities, athletic clubs, beauty salons, or their own private practice.

The program at TSOM prepares students for the MBLEx, (Massage & Bodywork Licensing Exam). The massage program at TSOM also satisfies the Tennessee Massage Licensure Board and enables students to apply for a Massage Therapy License in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas.
