Delaware Massage Therapy

Continuing Education Requirements

Massage therapy license requirements vary from state to state, and the laws are constantly changing. It's our current understanding that, in Delaware, "Licensed Massage Therapists" are required to complete 24 hours of massage therapy continuing education every 2 years for professional license renewal. "Certified Massage Technicians" are required to complete 12 hours of massage therapy continuing education every 2 years for professional license renewal.

Licensed Massage Therapists can apply a maximum of 12 hours from our home study courses towards the total 24 hour renewal requirement.

Certified Massage Technicians can apply a maximum of 6 hours from our home study courses towards the total 12 hour renewal requirement.
