NCBTMB offers two exams – the National Examination for Therapeutic Massage (NCETM) and the National Examination for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCETMB). Both lead to national certification and share the same eligibility criteria, but there are slight differences in exam content.

For individuals who do not meet eligibility requirements, there is an alternative known as Portfolio Review.

See the Portfolio Review Handbook for the National Certification Examinations for details. |
