People who want to practice massage therapy in New Mexico are required (with certain exceptions such as physicians and nurses) to have a massage therapy license. To qualify for this license, the applicant is required to have at least 650 clock hours of massage education, pass the national licensure exam, the New Mexico jurisprudence exam, and have a high school diploma or GED. Our massage therapy program is a great preparation for these requirements and, in fact, exceeds the requirements for licensure.

Crystal Mountain is licensed by the New Mexico State Board of Massage.  To obtain a license in thes tate of new Mexico applicants must take either the National Certification Exam(NCE) or the Massage Board Licensing Exam(MBLex).  Your education from Crystal Mountain is great preparation for either of these exams.  The pass rate for Crystal Mountain graduates is currently 100% on the first try for the MBLex and 85% on the first try for the NCE.  (The national average pass rate for the NCE is 63% on the first try).

Crystal Mountain does not accept transfer hours from other schools. However, students with previous massage therapy education may be able to complete class hours at Crystal Mountain for credit towards state licensure.
