California Massage Therapy
Continuing Education Requirements
Massage therapy license requirements vary from state to state, and the laws are constantly changing. It's our current understanding that there are two levels of massage therapy certification in California.
- A Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) must have at least 500 hours of formal education and training in massage therapy.
- A Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP) has completed between 250 to 499 hours of massage therapy training.
There are currently no continuing education requirements for renewal of the CMT or CMP certification.
If you would like to verify this information, or have further questions regarding California Massage Certification, we suggest contacting the California Massage Therapy Council by phone at 916-669-5336 or visit their website at www.camtc.org.
The Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider (#049478-00). All of our continuing education programs can be used for National Certification renewal.
You may also use our credits for other organizations you may belong to, such as the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or Associated Bodywork Massage Professionals (ABMP).
