Continuing Education Requirements



American Academy of Massage Therapy in Chicago offers 24 CONTINUING EDUCATION HOUR CREDITS at an affordable price. For renewal of an Illinois massage therapy license you must complete 24 hours of continuing education every two years starting in 2007.

All courses given by NCBMTB-approved providers or by state approved massage schools/programs will meet this requirement. About a dozen massage therapists took advantage of our spring sessions and earned anywhere

from 6 to 24 CE hours.

The successful four 6-hour educational sessions (worth 24 C.E. hours in total ) will be repeated again at the American Academy of Massage Therapy at 5900 Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago on these (tentative) dates:

** ALL DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE BASED ON ENROLLMENT.**

ALL SESSIONS: SATURDAY MORNINGS 9am to 3pm

Call if different hours are preferred and we might schedule
