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 allocated 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 count towards secondary credits.
