Delaware Massage Therapy Continuing Education Requirements

What We Can Do For You!

The 24 hours of CE must include:

• Three hours in ethics (which may be taken online or through home study). You can earn these CE hours through any of our ethics courses.
• Nine hours of Core credits (subject matter within the practice of massage). These nine hours must be taken through live, classroom training.
• 12 hours of Elective credits (subjects outside the practice of massage) OR core credits. These 12 hours may be taken through our online/home study courses.

A "Core course" means a CE course with a subject matter within the "practice of massage and bodywork," contributing to the professional competency of the therapist or technician. Core courses are designed to maintain, improve, or expand skills and knowledge or to develop new and relevant skills and knowledge. Ethics is a core course, but may be earned through online/home study courses.

An "Elective course" means a CE course with a subject matter that is outside the "practice of massage and bodywork," and does not directly contribute to the professional competency of the therapist or technician. Elective courses must be in one of the subjects: modalities outside the "practice of massage and bodywork,"; personal growth and self-improvement, business management, anatomy, or physiology.

Because the Institute for Integrative Healthcare Studies is approved by the NCBTMB as a continuing education Approved Provider, the Delaware Board of Massage will accept any of our courses that meet the Board's requirements.

COURSES ON ANIMAL MASSAGE ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY DELAWARE.
