CE Requirements for LMTs in North Carolina

The North Carolina Board of Massage and Bodywork Therapy mandates LMTs to complete a designated number of CE hours biennially. This requirement, while ensuring adherence to state laws, serves a greater purpose: it encourages lifelong learning and proficiency in the ever-evolving massage therapy landscape.

At NC Massage School, our programs are specifically designed to meet these requirements, offering you a unique blend of quality education and professional advancement.

Choosing the Right CE Classes

Starting on your Continuing Education journey begins with two crucial steps tailored to enhance your massage therapy career:

  • Setting Your Educational Goals: Begin by considering your career direction. Do you aim to strengthen your traditional massage technique skills, or are you excited about discovering new modalities? Aligning your CE course selections with your career aspirations ensures that every class propels you closer to your objectives.
  • Assessing Course Quality and Accreditation: The value of a CE course lies in its accreditation and relevance to your practice. At NC Massage School, we offer a variety of board-approved courses, guaranteeing that the education you receive is recognized and directly applicable to enhancing your professional practice.

By focusing on these areas, you’ll ensure that your continuing education meets licensing requirements and significantly contributes to your growth and success as a massage therapist.
