Thai Foot Reflexology is open to everyone, whether you’re a professional or simply want to learn for friends and family. Full Body Sessions and Sip Sen are designed for bodyworkers with Thai massage experience. Anyone can enroll and receive a certificate of completion. However, NCBTMB CE hours only apply if you hold a massage or bodywork credential that requires continuing education. Please practice within the scope of what you’re legally permitted to do where you live.

No. CAMTC doesn’t require continuing education to renew certification, so there’s no CAMTC credit to earn. These online courses also don’t count toward the 500 hours of education required for initial CAMTC certification. They’re still a great way to deepen your skills, and they offer NCBTMB-approved CE hours if you need them for national certification or another state’s license.
