Idaho Massage Therapy Continuing Education Requirements:
Idaho Massage Therapy licensees must complete a minimum of six (6) hours of continuing education, which includes one (1.0) hour in ethics, within the preceding twelve (12) months of their license renewal date. All CEs must meet the requirements in Sections 501, 502 and 503 of Idaho massage therapy rules.
Idaho allows a carrying over of up to six CEs from one renewal cycle to the next. A maximum of six (6) hours may be carried forward from the immediately preceding year, and may not be carried forward more than one renewal year. This rule would allow you to apply up to 12 CEs from a single class over a two-year period. For example, if you were to take our 12 CE Prenatal Massage Fundamentals, you could apply 6 CEs to your current cycle, and carry over the remaining six CEs to your next cycle.
Idaho Massage Therapy Continuing Education Courses Accepted:
Idaho accepts hours approved by the NCBTMB, so our courses are valid for your license provided that they meet the above requirements.
