The Massage Therapy certificate program, prepares students to work as a Registered
Massage Practitioner (RMP). The program consists of lecture, laboratory, and clinical
instruction and practice. Upon successful completion of the certificate program, you
will be prepared to sit for the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx)
offered by the Federation of State Massage Therapy boards. Following the passing of
this exam you may now apply for the Maryland State Jurisprudence examination.
Once you have passed the examinations, you will then be eligible to use the designation
of Registered Massage Practitioner (RMP). As a RMP you may now practice in the state
of Maryland in all non-healthcare businesses such as spas and fitness centers.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for a certificate
in Massage Therapy.
