Continuing Education Requirements for Massage Therapists in Iowa

01/23/2018

Rules were enacted at the end of 2016 changing some of the continuing education (CE) requirements for massage therapists in Iowa. Under the rules now in place:   

  • 16 hours of CE must be completed every two years for license renewal;
  • A minimum of 8 of the 16 hours must be hands-on training. Hands-on training means live, in-person massage therapy technique training courses
  • All of the 8 hours of non-hands-on classes can be taken online, or can be independent study. 
  • There is no CPR requirement (although CPR hours may be used toward the total required hours if the licensee so chooses).
