Newfoundland and Labrador Massage Therapy Continuing Education Requirements

It is our understanding that Registered Massage Therapists practicing in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador must obtain 30 massage therapy continuing education units during the 3-year licensing cycle where 20 units must be earned from Category A and the rest from either Category A or Category B.

According to the College of Massage Therapists of Newfoundland and Labrador, massage therapists can fulfill their continuing education requirements by taking courses approved by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).
