ARE YOU RENEWAL READY? This is what you need to know for license renewal:
- For the upcoming renewal period, massage licenses expire at midnight EST on Saturday, August 31, 2019.
- The State of Florida has already mailed License Renewal Notifications to licensed therapists.
- If you have not received a notification, you should contact the State of Florida, Department of Medical Quality Assurance at #850-488-0595. (We can’t help you with this notification, you must contact the state.)
- Before starting the license renewal process, first make sure that you have completed your continuing education hours and that they have been reported to Florida CE Broker.
- If you have taken classes with us, we report you to CE Broker. You don’t have to do that yourself. In fact, all approved CE providers in the State of Florida are required to report your hours.
- You do not have to pay for a CE Broker account. If you have questions about their services, scroll down to the bottom of the CE Broker page and select “live chat” or give them a call at #877-434-6323. (Be aware that they are going to be getting busy so please don’t wait until the last minute.)
