👩‍🏫ATTENTION 📢🖐Massage School Students and Graduates:
In California, a massage therapist can only use the title “Certified Massage Therapist”, (CMT), if they attended a CAMTC-approved school.

➡️CAMTC.org states:

California Business and Professions Code section 4611 makes it an unfair business practice for anyone not certified by CAMTC to use the titles:

Licensed, Certified, Certified Massage Therapist, Certified Massage Practitioner, CMT, or CMP.

ONCE YOU HAVE GRADUATED FROM A CAMTC APPROVED PROGRAM:

✅️Be sure to keep your CAMTC Massage Therapy certification current and active! You MUST renew your certificate every 2 years!

👩‍🏫As more and more local California cities REQUIRE CAMTC certification to legally practice massage therapy, we are receiving multiple calls from current therapists needing CAMTC certification to get business licenses for their own businesses, or to keep their current massage therapy positions.

➡️TWO THINGS WE'VE NOTICED LATELY:

☝️More and more California cities are updating their massage therapy ordinances to require CAMTC certification for massage professionals to obtain business licenses. Many being here in the Central Valley.

✌️For the few remaining cities that do not require CAMTC certification for massage therapy, many of the facilities within those cities do!
Businesses are taking it amongst themselves to follow the CAMTC's very important guidelines and ensure that their contractors, renters, and employees are properly certified with the CAMTC to work in their facility.
THIS👏IS👏AWESOME 👏
