New Illinois Continuing Education Requirement for Massage

01/30/2020

Sexual harassment continuing education is now a requirement for massage therapists as a provision to license renewal, beginning January 1, 2020.

The Illinois Division of Professional Regulation (IDFPR) passed a law in 2019 requiring anyone licensed by IDFPR, including licensed massage therapists, to complete a one-hour course in sexual harassment prevention training. Sexual harassment training will be required every renewal period. This email serves as a courtesy reminder to all ABMP members practicing in Illinois.
