What is CE Registry?

CE Registry is a database of courses offered by CE Providers, educators who meet and adhere to the standards set by FSMTB for providing massage and bodywork therapy continuing education. CE Registry includes a Course Search capability that allows potential CE consumers (LMTs) to search for the right course for them.

CE Providers are monitored for ongoing demonstration of compliance with FSMTB national Continuing Education Standards through feedback from students. Course completion records are stored in the national Massage Therapy Licensing Database (MTLD) for permanent recording. State regulatory boards determine if continuing education hours meet their requirements for license renewal in their state.
