Continuing Education (CE) is an integral, and life-long part of your massage career. It is the key to keeping your practice up-to-date, as well as expanding your own knowledge. The Institute for Therapeutic Massage offers many continuing education courses for Certified Massage Therapists, as well as courses aimed at individuals interested in learning a specific field.
We are approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) as (what was formerly known as Category A) Continuing Education Units, or CEU's, and our instructors are highly qualified professionals with many years of experience behind them. While all of our classes take place at one of our 6 NJ based massage therapy schools, these credits can be applied to national certification, as well as state licensure requirements that accept these credits.
ITM is also approved by the New Jersey Department of Education and dedicated to quality education for both the massage student and the experienced therapist looking to enhance their level of expertise. For more information about state regulations regarding certification, and continuing education hours in the state of New Jersey, please click on the following link: Massage, Bodywork and Somatic Therapy Certification Hours
Should a graduate decide to take and pass the National Certification Exam, he/she would be required to acquire at least 50 points every four years to retain their certification status. Our approval allows therapists who take continuing education here to apply those hours towards their requirement.
