NCBTMB Requirements

Please understand that massage laws change frequently and vary from state to state and nationally. We will try to provide you with the most current information possible.

It is our understanding that, as of 2/1/2019, the NCBTMB has dropped their 3 CE hour research requirement based upon feedback from the profession. If you have taken a research course, it will still count toward your Board Certification renewal, it is just no longer required.

The current requirements for NCBTMB Board Certification renewal are:

• 24-hours of Continuing Education from NCBTMB Approved Providers
  • 3 hours must be in Ethics
  • NCBTMB approved scientific, anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and business courses may also be applied.
• Pass a criminal background check (performed by NCBTMB)
• Agree to uphold NCBTMB Standards of Practice & Code of Ethics

We are an NCBTMB Approved Provider, provider number 409296-00, so you can use any and all of our courses for your Board Certification renewal.
