Certification and Licensing

At present Massachusetts has no state law about massage. A person who wants to start a massage business obtains a license in the town he or she wants to work in. Towns differ in their requirements for licensing but all require graduation from a 500-hour program in a state-approved massage school. Some towns also require the student to take and pass the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) test. (National Exam) The student must graduate from a 500-hour massage school program in order to take this test. Anyone who wants to become a professional massage therapist should take this test - it is becoming the national standard to prove competence to a licensing board. Our 500-hour MICC program is designed to prepare you to take this exam.
