Massage Therapy Continuing Education Requirements by State
Welcome Massage Therapists! Simply click on the link of your state where you’re licensed and it will take you to your state board where you can review your state requirements for continuing education. If you’re from Texas, please visit our Texas Website: www.TexasMassageCEU.com to take your classes there.
Although every effort has been made to keep this list up-to-date and current, please know that it is YOUR responsibility as a student and therapist to ensure that your state accepts CE from me. You’ll need to verify with your State’s massage therapy board to be sure of the continuing education and provider requirements as state rules frequently change. First time renewals and lapsed/expired licenses may have additional requirements. Please notify us of any errors so we can correct.
