- Pass the Massage and Bodywork Examination (MBLEX) administered by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB)

- Pass the Massage Therapist Jurisprudence Examination

- Submit application, application fee, and exam results.

After obtaining a Massage Therapy License, LMTs are required to maintain their licensure by completing 12hrs of Continuing Education every 2 years.

How long does it take to complete the 500hr Massage Therapy Program?

We offer both a full-time 6-month accelerated training schedule and a slower-paced part-time 12-month training schedule.
