North Dakota 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 North Dakota, licenses must be renewed every 2 years from the time of initial licensure. The number of continuing education hours required depends on how long you've been licensed/practicing massage therapy.

• Licensed/practicing 1-14 years: For the 1st license renewal after becoming licensed you are not required to obtain CE hours. But, the 2nd renewal after becoming licensed you must obtain 24 CE hours, 3 of these hours must be in ethics. After the 2nd renewal ethics is optional.
• Licensed/practicing 15-24 years: 6 CE hours are required.
• Licensed/practicing 25+ years: 3 CE hours are required.
