Delaware is a unique state when it comes to massage therapist licensing and certification. There are two separate designations for therapists practicing in Delaware. The first type is called Certified Massage Technicians (CMT), only requiring 300 hours of an approved massage course. The second is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) requiring 500 hours training at an approved massage school and passing the MBLEx.
To study for the MBLEx exam, we recommend using our state-of-the-art massage testing online study aid here on Massage-Exam.com. There are over 3500 massage questions, featuring the same category break down as the MBLEx.
