All of our Education Partners that provide CEU’s have obtained and maintain the following minimum accreditations:
CEU stands for Continuing Education Unit, which is a unit of credit designed for professionals with certificates or licenses to practice various professions. Massage Therapists are required to participate in continuing education programs for a certain number of hours every year to keep their licenses or certificates to practice, current. The annual number of CEUs and type (online, hands on, etc.) that are required varies by state. It is each Massage Therapist’s responsibility to research and know their local and state laws and regulations regarding Continuing Education, to keep their license current, and it is each employer’s responsibility to make sure the Massage Therapists they hire have valid licensure.
