Massage License or Certificate

8 November 2007

I never really thought about the difference between a License to practice (LMP) and being a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT). So I was reading about it and here is what I have found out.

A government agency or board maintains a License to practice. A Certificate is not regulated by a governmentally regulated profession and is established by a private organization. Leaving no binding legal laws or regulations to protect or insure public safety. Can certification be revoked just like a license, with penalties and fees?
