If you meet the following criteria, and have not yet filed your CMT application under the grandfathering requirements, you may still do so until July 1, 2010. The advantage of filing under the grandfather clause is that you do not have to take one of the approved State Exams if you have not done so.

IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENT, YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR CERTIFICATION UNDER THE GRANDFATHERING PROVISION:

YOU MUST HAVE ENROLLED IN A MASSAGE THERAPY SCHOOL OR PROGRAM BEFORE JULY 1, 2007 THAT REQUIRED AT LEAST 500 HOURS OF SUPERVISED CLASSROOM AND HANDS ON INSTRUCTION. THAT PROGRAM MUST HAVE BEEN IN GOOD STANDING WITH A STATE, REGIONAL, OR NATIONAL AGENCY OF GOVERNMENT CHARGED WITH REGULATING MASSAGE THERAPY PROGRAMS AND YOU MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE PROGRAM BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2008.

 ALL GRANDFATHERING APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BEFORE JULY 1, 2010 TO BE ACCEPTED UNDER THE ABOVE PROVISION. PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION ON THIS WEBSITE AND INDICATE "GRANDFATHERING" AT THE TOP OF THE FORM.

IF YOU COMPLETED YOUR PROGRAM AFTER JANUARY 1, 2008, YOU MUST TAKE AN EXAM TO QUALIFY FOR CERTIFICATION. ACCEPTABLE EXAMS ARE LISTED BELOW UNDER "EXAMINATION INFORMATION".

For an application form, Rules and Regulations of the Profession and other information you need to go to www.in.gov/pla/massage.pla or e-mail pla6@pla.IN.gov , 317-234-2051. The next meeting of the State Board is currently scheduled for June 14, 2010, and they are open for anyone to attend.
