California Massage Therapy Schools - CA
Currently there are 8 different educational pathways to meet eligibility requirements in for applying for a CMT and CMP credential. There is a chart of qualifications listed on the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMT) website. In general, 500 educational hours earned online or through a California massage school are required in order to apply for a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) credential, and 250 educational hours are required for a Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP) credential. In addition to education, the California massage therapy schools must be accredited by the state of California or the US Department of Education. There may be special situations that would be approved by the CAMT Board, but this would need to be discussed with advisory personnel. www.camtc.org/FAQ/mtfaq.htm
