In order to take the national massage certification exam, students must attend a massage school that offers at least six hours of massage business training. Each state in the United States has its own approach to regulating massage education. The state of New Mexico requires that all registered massage therapy schools offer massage business classes as part of their curriculum but they have no specific number of massage business education hours required.

Crystal Mountain has chosen to offer presently approximately 26 hours of massage business education in our day and evening classes. This is two to three times the national licensing requirement for massage business education, and significantly above and beyond what most massage schools throughout New Mexico and the U.S. are offering. We are allocating this much of our curriculum to massage business training because we feel these skills are essential for our students to be able to make a living as massage therapists when they get out of school.
