New Florida Massage License Package
(15 CE Hours)

Simplifying the Florida Application Process

If you are transferring your license from another state, or seeking your first massage license in the state of Florida, you may have found the application process is not quick and easy.

Having gone through the process myself, I can testify firsthand about the confusion and frustration that can accompany the process.

The good news is you don’t have to suffer as I did.

I’ve helped over 200 massage therapists make their professional move to the Sunshine State a little easier, and I want to help you too!

Eliminating Confusion

There is a question on the Florida application that seems simple, but unfortunately is not.

“Are you applying for licensure as a Massage Therapist by Endorsement or as a Massage Therapist by Examination?”

What does that question mean, and how are you supposed to know the answer?

To help eliminate confusion and unexpected surprises, I have created a flow chart to help you quickly identify which method of licensure you qualify for.

Now What?

I have created checklists to streamline the licensure process for you and to help you avoid the aggravation and uncertainty that often plagues Florida applicants.

Do You Have a Special Situation?

Were you grandfathered into licensure in your state or practice in a state that does not require a licensing exam?

Unfortunately, completion of the NCETMB, NCETM, NESL, or MBLEx is mandatory for licensure in Florida.

I have contacted the Florida Board of Massage on several occasions regarding special situations for therapists who haven’t taken a licensing exam.

I have yet to learn of an exception to this requirement.

While is not fun for me to tell you this, I would rather you be informed and prepared upfront than to receive an unpleasant surprise in the middle of the process.

I am sure you think you have forgotten everything you learned in school, but you haven’t. No one likes exams. You can do this.

Florida massage licenses expire August 31st every odd year. When is the best time to apply for a license?

Massage therapists licensed between April – August of this year (2013) fall into a grace period that allows them to wait until the next renewal period (2015) to renew their license for the first time.

These therapists will need to complete 24 CE Hours for their 2015 license renewal.

Here is a quick list of some other frequently asked questions.

What’s in This Package?

Before attaining your Florida Massage Therapy License, the Florida Board requires all applicants to complete a set of three (3) continuing education courses, which may be taken in a home study format.

These courses are required for both Endorsement and Examination candidates.

Let’s Do This!

Florida allows one year from your application date to complete all the necessary steps in the licensing process.

When everything goes smoothly, it typically takes about six (6) weeks to complete the application process.

However, I have found the longer I give myself to complete a project, the less likely I am to finish it.

If becoming a Florida massage therapist is your goal, dream or passion,
the earlier you start,
the sooner (and more likely) you will achieve success!

So grab your Free Applicant Checklist (endorsement or examination), purchase the required coursework, and let’s get you working in Florida!

If you do not need all three courses, you can purchase each course separately:

$ 69.00 – Florida Law (10 CE Hours)

$ 26.00 – HIV/AIDS (3 CE Hours)

$ 10.00 – Prevention of Medical Errors (2 CE Hours)
