A massage therapist applying for licensure in Hawaii must first complete the above listed application for a massage license. You must have completed a state certified course that consists of no less than 570 hours of training.

Hawaii offers another level of massage accreditation called "Massage Apprentice." This is not a massage license, but rather a permit to practice massage therapy. In order to get a massage permit in Hawaii, you will need a minimum 150 hours of massage course work by one of the approved educational institutions.

Hawaii is unique in that there is not a National Massage Certification Exam (MBLEx) required for licensure. The state of Hawaii has its own exam that is administered after you have completed and submitted your license application. Dates for the Hawaii massage exam are already set and are administered on each of the islands. A calender of test dates can be found here.

The Hawaii State Exam is proctored at Prometric under the supervision of the Hawaii Board of Massage Therapy.
