CRMTA widely recognizes all Seminars for Health courses for CEC credits. All Active and Associate CRMTA members must complete 30 Continuing Education credits (CEC) every three years to maintain their CRMTA membership. A maximum of 10 of the 30 credits can be secondary credits. Your CRMTA membership start date determines your 3-year cycle.

Primary credits are allocated to in-class, hands-on continuing education courses that directly relate to massage therapy. One credit is awarded per hour, to a maximum of 20 credits per course/workshop.

Secondary credits are allocated to courses on modalities that enhance a massage or on one’s professional development in the field of massage. Courses may include topics such as ethics, communication, additional modalities, etc. Participation in some CRMTA events also counts towards secondary credits.

For online classes, CRMTA will allocate one secondary credit per hour class.

Most of Seminars for Health courses are approved for MTAA CEC. Details are listed on each course page. We submit each course for MTAA approval. Seminars for Health direct submits MTAA member’s course completion certificates for credit allocation.

All Seminars for Health courses are approved for NHPC credits. Practitioners require 20 credits per two-year cycle. A minimum of 10 credits must be related to the practitioner’s domain (i.e., Massage Therapy).

The practitioner’s two-year cycle is based on their membership renewal period. Credits cannot be carried over to the next cycle period. You are not required to submit your credit hours; however, you are required to keep proof of certification in the event you are selected for NHPC’s Random Audit Process. Credits are typically allocated depending on the number of days the course runs.
1 day or less = 5 credits
2 days = 10 credits
3 days = 15 credits
