Continuing Education for Massage Therapists ($282.50 per 20 CEUs)

Most regulatory boards require massage therapists to enrol in a continuing education course with 2o continuing education units (CEU) every year or two. For example the registered massage therapists of Ontario must complete 30 CEU every 3 years, 20 of which must be category A, however all 30 CEU could be Category A as well. Taking two of the course NAO offers would satisfy the requirement set by your regulatory board. CEUs are calculated at one CEU for every two hours involved in the learning activity.

National Academy of Osteopathy offers the following courses for massage therapists in every major city across North America, Australia, New Zealand and Western Europe to all health practitioners.

We have kept the course tuition low to make them affordable. Course fees are $282.50 ($250 plus 13% tax). The tuition is tax deductable in all countries. Each course offered satisfies 20 CEU. Courses are offered the first weekend of every month (12 times per year). Space is limited so to reserve your spot please apply early.
