Go to Individual Courses>Choose A Course>View Course>Add To Cart>View Cart>Proceed To Checkout OR Choose Your State>View Courses Under Your State>Choose Your Bundle>Review The Bundle>Add to Cart>View The Cart>Proceed to Checkout and complete the purchase process.
Once you’ve purchased, you will be directed back to your account where you will find your courses. Click on MY ACCOUNT
Scroll down to the first course and click the first lesson to begin
Read through the course materials and MARK COMPLETE at the bottom of each page to proceed through the course. The courses are “user friendly” and easy to complete.
Complete the final exam (you can review the final exam questions before you start the course and all important exam information is outlined in the course)
Passing grade is 70%
You’ll have 5 opportunities to take each quiz. If you fail on the 1st attempt review your answers before trying again.
Once you’ve completed your quiz, you’ll have the opportunity to download and save each certificate to your device. It is highly recommended to save each course certificate to your device since state boards randomly choose students to audit for proof of course completions and you will be required to send in a copy of your Certificates of Completion if you are randomly audited. Students can be audited at anytime, usually up to 24 months after license renewal.
Your account, courses and copies of your Certificates of Completion are only available for one year from the date of purchase. After one year, accounts are deleted from the system so students may repurchase and complete courses for a new renewal period.
Once you have completed a course, you should log out through MY ACCOUNT.
If you leave before completing a course, you may resume the course at any time by clicking the RESUME COURSE button.
All instructions are provided in each course
You cannot use the same account or student email address to purchase for more than one student. You must LOG OUT COMPLETELY after your initial purchase and then create a new account using a different email address for the student profile login not used by another student. Each student must have their own separate account and unique email address not used by another student. Students cannot share accounts

* Disclaimer

Note: All courses, information, approvals, and pricing are subject to change. Refunds are made on an individual basis at the discretion of Massage CE Learning Tree. Courses that have been issued a certificate will not be refunded. No refunds will be made for “Bundles” if any of the courses in the Bundle have been issued a Certificate of Completion”. Approval for each course/bundle in each state is not guaranteed. Even if the provider is directly approved by NCBTMB or CEBroker, not all courses may be accepted by your Board (provider numbers are on each certificate regardless of approval). We review each individual state board website at least twice a year to search for state board updates regarding license renewals. State boards do not contact CEProviders when changes are made to state board requirements or course acceptance.

We offer online courses only and we do not offer webinars, live, in-person, mailed, or video options. You must verify all information, requirements, renewal information, accepted and not accepted courses, number of hours, and specific categories required by your massage renewing entity/board.

The above information is on a “state” level. Be sure to check your local city and county regulations, as they may require continuing education or have specific licensing and/or renewal requirements. Laws and Rules frequently change. We try to provide you with the most accurate, up to date requirements but, once again, the state boards do not contact us directly when changes are made. It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure acceptance. If you see any errors, please contact us so that we may correct the information listed above. State Course Bundles are made for your convenience only.
