It is our understanding that registered massage therapists practicing in the province of Ontario 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.
You may take all 30 units of continuing education through any of our Category A College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) approved home study programs or a maximum of 10 units from any of our Category B approved programs (click on any course below for more information).
Note that while the below courses have been specifcially submitted for approval, the CMTO will accept all of our programs as they meet the requirements of: an approved activity where learning takes place; topics related to an approved competency/modality; and the learning outcome relates to the practice of massage therapy.
Approved Category B Programs | Approved Units |
---|---|
Applied Kinesiology | 3.5 |
Aromatherapy: An Introduction | 3 |
Aromatherapy: Mother & Baby | 4.5 |
