Please be aware that a continuing education (CE) course that is offered by a NCBTMB Approved Provider does not guarantee Board approval. All acceptable CE for Georgia licensees must also fall within the scope of practice of massage as defined in the Georgia Massage Therapy Practice Act (Title 43 Chapter 24A). When selecting continuing education courses, it is important to review the O.C.G.A. §§ 43-24A-3(8-9) and 43-24A-19(a)(5-8) and Board Rule 345-4-.02 to ensure that you are taking courses which meet the Board's criteria.  

Other examples of courses that do not meet the definition of massage therapy in the state of Georgia includes any courses on: 

  • Animal Massage
  • Aromatherapy
  • CPR
  • Light Therapy
  • Sound Therapy
  • Yoga 

As a result, courses on the aforementioned topics will not be acceptable to meet CE requirements.

As questions concerning new course titles and topics arise, the Board will perform due diligence in reviewing the course information as it relates to the statute and include the names or topics of any course which would not be accepted.
