How often do I need to complete my continuing education requirements?

Continuing education requirements for massage professionals can vary significantly depending on the state in which one practices and the specific regulations in place. Generally, many states require practitioners to complete a certain number of continuing education hours every two years to maintain licensure. This could range anywhere from ten to twenty-four hours, depending on local regulations. Additionally, the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) provides resources and support for members regarding continuing education, including a variety of online and in-person courses tailored to meet the needs of massage therapists. It is essential to keep in mind that some states may also have specific requirements related to ethics, safety, or techniques. Therefore, it is advisable for practitioners to familiarize themselves with their state’s licensing board to ensure compliance. The current ABMP website may have updated information on continuing education options and requirements.
