Upcoming Maintenance to the ABMP Education Center

During this time, you will be unable to access any of our ABMP courses or the "My CE Manager" page of your ABMP member account, so please plan accordingly. (World Massage Conference courses will be available during this time.)

You can access courses before the maintenance update at www.abmp.com/ce.

You can access your course transcripts before the maintenance update at www.abmp.com/members/continuing-education/online-learning/my-continuing-education.

Please send any questions to ce@abmp.com. We are excited to bring you our improved ABMP Education Center and all the free CE that is included in your ABMP membership!
