Arizona State Requirements for Massage Therapists
Arizona requires 700 hours for a state massage license and a minimum of 24 CEU hours every two years. A licensee may complete a maximum of 12 of these hours from a correspondence or distance learning format.
The AZ State Board of Massage Therapy requires proof of CEU’s. The Massage License Renewal Application is available online only at the massage board website (https://massagetherapy.az.gov/). Upon completion of a course, Contact Student Services at 480-994-9244 or 888-504-9106 to request a digital or printed copy of the course certificate.
In Arizona, all CEUs are subject to approval by the AZ State Board of Massage Therapy. However, it is generally accepted that NCBTMB approved courses are eligible.
Courses offered by SWIHA for vocational, personal development, or continuing education purposes have homework and competency requirements which must be met to receive a passing grade.
Massage Licensing Requirements in Other States
Every state has their own governing and approval board for Massage Therapy. If you are not from Arizona and are looking to fulfill your massage requirements or are interested in how your state’s requirements compare to others, please visit:
