Program Sequence Program Outcomes Apply to Tri-C

The Certificate of Proficiency is the one-year certificate for students who do not have a college degree.  This is a 3-semester program and students will be eligible to apply for State Medical Board of Ohio massage licensure after graduating, passing the MBLEx exam and meeting all other medical board requirements. Graduates are also eligible to sit for the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork exam used by some other states. Note:  Many states also use the MBLEx exam.

All of the Certificate of Proficiency credits can be transferred to the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Massage Therapy.

 Returning students please note: You must complete a new application. If it has been more than one year since you withdrew from the program you will be required to take all massage therapy classes, including those you took previously.
