Schools

Students rely on their massage school and instructors to prepare them for a successful career in the massage therapy and bodywork profession. That’s why NCBTMB works with educational institutions to ensure that the schools’ programs reflect a national standard of excellence. When students sit for the exam, they are able to demonstrate mastery of core knowledge and skills and are ready to begin their career as a licensed massage practitioner. Every time one of your students passes the NCBTMB exam, they stand as a testament to the merit of your institution.

Continuing Education Providers

Continuing education plays a critical role in NCBTMB’s recertification program. In fact, nationally certified practitioners recertify every four years, and those who select the CE option are required to earn credits from an NCBTMB Approved Provider. This ensures that certificants receive quality instruction of the highest standards.
