National Certification Exam
Albert Quintero • July 30, 2013
The National Certification Exam for Massage and Bodywork is an exam that was developed in the 1990s under the mandate of the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association). It is a written test only and does not have a practicum. The exam requires graduation from a program of at least 500 hours of study.
The recognition of the exam varies by state and municipality. Although the exam is not required by most states, it’s can be helpful if you are considering moving to another state in the future. It can also be used to demonstrate your commitment to your professionalism.
It is recommended that you take the exam as close to your graduation as possible. The exam focuses on terminology. If you are like most people, retention of terms is difficult so the sooner you take the exam, the better.
Be sure to read the link for the NCBTMB policy on criminal background checks ( http://www.Spa Tech.edu/ncbtmb-crime-policy.html
). Remember, the exam is not required in most states but it is important to know, from the beginning, that you may have eligibility issues if you have a criminal record. This may also impact your ability to get licensed in the future.
