Recertification options and requirements

Designed to keep national certification at the forefront of the massage and bodywork field, NCBTMB’s recertification program focuses on continued excellence, not just continuing education.

Certificants are required to submit forty-eight (48) continuing education hours and documentation for 200 hours of hands-on work experience completed during the four-year certification cycle. The program is extremely flexible and offers ten options, which allows certificants to recertify on their own time, budget and schedule.
