We have great news, Florida massage therapists! ABMP worked with the Florida Board of Massage Therapy (Board) and received approval for 28 continuing education (CE) courses in the “Hands-On by Distance” category. With such an extensive bank of CE, you can complete the required 12 hours of hands-on technique online for your 2023–2025 license renewal.
The “Hands-On by Distance” category was originally created during the pandemic, and the Board is accepting online CE this renewal cycle. Curious about how “Hands-On by Distance” works? Check out the Board’s resource page for a quick review.
If you’re still working on knocking out those 12 hours of training before August 31, we have you covered. Head over to the ABMP Education Center to explore our curated lineup. Not only are the 28 technique courses below approved, but our ethics and general CE courses are too, so you can meet your two-hour “ethics” and five-hour “general” CE requirements with ease!
