ABMP Webinar CE is Now Free for Members

ABMP has announced that all webinar CE is now free for members, making it easier for massage therapists and bodyworkers to access online education and save money.

“We’ve taken on the cost of CE hours to make it easier for our members,” says ABMP President Les Sweeney. “We strive to add value to ABMP membership and want our members to have more money to spend on other CE providers, and on themselves.”

The newly designed ABMP Education Center makes it easy to sort through the 100+ on-demand webinars by CE provider, webinar topic, and intended audience. ABMP members can watch each webinar on-demand, then pass a short quiz to earn free CE. All courses are NCBTMB approved, but eligibility for CE depends on state board requirements.

In the future, non-ABMP members will be able to watch select featured webinars from time to time, but CE will only be available to members.

Would love any new material, education or research findings on reflexology and it's therapeutic value. 

Thank you for your time you gave by making the reflexology 1 &2, 3. I had a refresh lesson watching the video, and taking the quiz.
