Massage Continuing Education

When you have completed your formal education for Massage Therapy, how soon after do you need to start obtaining your required continuing education credits?

Most state licensing boards have a set amount of hours you must obtain in order to renew your license to practice. Other states may not have a state license requirement, but have city or county regulations which mandate that you carry Liability Insurance. Most Liability Insurance Associations will have a set amount of Continuing Education Credits in order to retain coverage. Even if your State or Insurance association doesn't require Continuing Education (CE) credits, it's a good idea to take advantage of them in order to enhance your skills and strengthen your knowledge base.

Check your State or Association information below to obtain your obligatory requirements.
