How Many Massage CE Hours Does This Class Offer?

Summary of Massage CE Course Approval

This course is approved for continuing education (CE) hours for massage therapists by multiple organizations:

National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB):

  • 8 hours of live, hands-on massage CE
  • No New York endorsement

CE Broker:

  • 8 hours of live, hands-on massage CE
  • We report to CE Broker for Florida and Georgia therapists

If you are licensed in more than one state, hours may be used toward multiple states.

While most states accept NCBTMB-approved courses, individual state licensing boards have the final say as to which courses are in the scope of practice for massage therapists and approved in their state.  Therapists are responsible for verifying their state’s specific CE requirements.

This course is not currently approved for CE credit in Louisiana or Mississippi. Georgia therapists should check with your state’s Board of Massage before enrolling.

Staying Overnight?

Staying Overnight for Your Class?

Convenience and Comfort:  If you’re traveling to a class and staying overnight, staying at the same location where it’s held can be very convenient. We prioritize booking classes at business travel hotels that offer a comfortable and affordable experience. These hotels are often grouped close to other similar properties, so if you don’t find a room at the hotel where the class is being held, there should be other good options nearby.

Room Booking:  For weekend classes (excluding special events such as Success School & Education Vacations), we typically don’t arrange room blocks. Room block rates (if available) expire a few weeks before the event. Consider booking directly with the hotel for more flexibility and service compared to third-party sites.

Finding the Best Rate: Check directly with the hotel for any discounts. Explore popular travel websites like hotels.com, trivago.com, expedia.com, etc. for deals. Check rates at other nearby hotels.

Confirmation Reminder:  Enrolled students will receive an email reminder 7-10 days before the class with the confirmed location details.

We hope this information helps you plan your comfortable and convenient stay for your class!
