California Massage Therapist Certification Update

The California Massage Therapy Council has announced the application fee for the new state-wide massage therapist certification will be $150.

This comparably low fee is made even lower by the fact that it covers the first 2 years.  Subsequent 2-year renewals are expected to be $125.

By meeting the mandated training requirements, all NHI graduates will need to get state certified, in addition to the fee, is (1) a completed application (not yet available), (2) passport photo, (3) livescan background check ($50-$85), and (4) a sealed NHI transcript delivered directly to the CAMTC.

As CAMTC Treasurer, NHI co-owner Mason Myers worked diligently to keep the application fee as affordable as possible.  With his continued participation, we will update you on when applications become available and any other breaking news.

For massage therapists who do not have at least 500 verifiable hours of training, there are 7 other pathways to certification.  Please visit www.camtc.org for more information.
