State Requirements for Massage Therapists
Massage Therapists: Continuing Education Requirements by State
Most individual state regulatory boards require continuing education for massage therapists to renew licensing. CE requirements vary by state.
Our massage therapy courses are valid in most states, either as an NCBTMB Approved Provider or as approved by the state board. You can check the licensing requirements for your state here, but always double check with your state regulatory board for information (in case there have been any changes) and city and county authorities as to local regulations. You are responsible for knowing the laws that apply to you.
