Comprehensive Timeline of National Certification

Here is a comprehensive timeline of national certification in the massage and bodywork profession, with citations from the source documents:

Pre-1988

  • 1958: The American Association of Masseurs and Masseuses (AAMM), which later became the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), required members to graduate from an AAMM school and pass a final exam, along with paying state fees and dues, and being sponsored by an active member.
  • Early 1970s: For a brief period, active AMTA membership was restricted to those who graduated from AMTA-approved schools.
  • Mid-1980s: Discussions began among massage educators about the need for a national massage credential, as licensure existed in only ten states and public acknowledgment of massage therapy’s value outside the alternative sector was low.
  • 1983 : M. Hungerford, the National Education Director of AMTA at the time, initiated the Membership Entrance Exam (MEE) as a means for people to test into the AMTA. Membership into AMTA required massage therapists to have graduated from an AMTA approved school. At the time there were only 15 approved schools in the US making it difficult to attend. The MME was created to test incoming members who were unable to attend an AMTA approved school. The MEE was not a psychometrically valid exam. It required a hands on test which was difficult to administer as testing was subjective. (From May 1993 Action Item: Examination of the AMTA Membership Entrance Exam submitted by: Kate Jeffery).
  • As far back as 1949: The concept of a “national examination” for massage practitioners was promoted by members of the American Massage Therapy Association. The idea progressed in the 1950s but didn’t gain traction until the mid-1980s when the AMTA and the profession of massage therapy saw a period of rapid growth. (National Certification Newsletter, Spring 1991)

1988

  • 1988: The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) officially authorized and funded the National Certification Program for Massage Therapists. AMTA loaned $150,000 to create the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) and a steering committee, with the money paid back by the end of 1996. At this time, there was no research conducted to determine if such a certification was needed for the profession. Hands On Fall 1989
  • 1988: Earliest promotional materials, including an 8-page booklet titled “Update on the National Certification Program for Massage therapists” and an informal brochure called “What is Certification,” were sent to all AMTA members.
  • 1988: The NCBTMB’s original mission statement was: “To foster high standards of ethical and professional practice in the delivery of services through a recognized credible credentialing program that assures the competency of practitioners of therapeutic massage and bodywork”.

1989

  • 1989: The intentions of the exam changed from being an AMTA entrance exam to a national exam. (From May 1993 Action Item: Examination of the AMTA Membership Entrance Exam submitted by: Kate Jeffery).
  • January 1989. Elliott Greene named project manager of the National Certification Exam Program. The National Certification Project will be initially guided by a National Steering Committee. Applications for the committee have been solicited and more than 70 applications have been received. “One of the first tasks of the committee will be to hire a nationally known and respected testing company that will, in concert with the committee, do the preliminary studies required (such as a job analysis) and the actual test development. Certification will be voluntary, and the certification program will be based on the objective development of an examination to be administered independently by a certification board. Eligibility to take the exam will be independent of Association membership or any other professional affiliation. The first administration of the new certifying exam is projected to take place in the Fall of 1991. “AMTA Hands On Fall 1989
  • April 1989: Sixty massage therapists signed and sent a joint initiative to AMTA to halt the certification process until more information could be gathered on its necessity for the profession; this request was rejected by AMTA. AMTA Hands On. Winter 1989

Over 2,000 “Update” report cards, representing a 23% response, were returned by December 5, 1989, regarding interest in certification. . AMTA Hands On. Winter 1989

“National certification will be an effective means of upgrading our professional status and standards. With national certification we will be taking a vital step in protecting our freedom to practice and having control over our future. Perhaps another great contribution we can make to our society is to show how we can demonstrate our abilities, yet remain true to our heritage and retain our caring values. National certification is healthy for everyone. “AMTA Hands On Fall 1989

They were also offering discounts on pizza and oil change services.
    From Laura Allen on www.massageprofessionals.com On June 9, Paul Lindamood, CEO, registered the domain name www.usamra.org (usaMassageResourceAssociation). This new professional association will be partnering with companies to provide “member benefits” in the form of discounts. Although the website isn’t up yet, according to my sources the list of potential discount offers would include those from massage-related companies and what the NCB’s memo referred to as “quality of life/enhancement.” While I enjoy a good pizza, I don’t know that I would go so far as to say it enhances the quality of my life. Before I get carried away about pizza or discounts at the Jiffy Lube, I should explain that this appears to be part of the master plan to turn the NCB from a certifying body to a membership organization, like our other major professional organizations, AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) and ABMP (Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals). What’s the point here? How will the services be different or better than those professional organizations that already exist (and incidentally, they co-exist peacefully)? Why do we need another professional association? I have no idea.”
  • July 2009: The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) expressed “disappointment” in the NCBTMB’s decision to create a membership organization, stating it was not in the profession’s best interest and would erode the value of certification.

Webb, Ed.D. Psychometrician

National Certification for Advanced Practice (NCAP)JOB ANALYSIS STUDY (PDF) The desire for such an advanced certification has been verified through various projects and studies over the last twelve years:
In 1997, Job Task Analysis survey respondents indicated a desire for advanced certification and specialty exams. In response, NCBTMB commissioned a Task Force, which then distributed a market research survey to stakeholders through the NCB Connections newsletter. When asked to respond to support the development of a “Masters” or Advanced Level of certification which recognizes higher levels of skill and experience than the current NCBTMB credential” almost two-thirds of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed. In 2000, a feasibility study for an advanced credential was undertaken. This further reinforced the idea, noting the need for a body of knowledge in order to proceed.
Shortly thereafter, in 2001, a Pre-Job Analysis Report for Advanced Certification was commissioned with an independent testing company to confirm the belief that a real construct exists for an advanced exam and credential. This was confirmed and in 2002 and 2003, further refining work was completed regarding task analysis and item development. In 2007, the Job Task Analysis again reflected that the profession desired a voluntary
advanced credential. Finally, in 2009, after review of these past efforts and confident that the desire for such a credential was evident, the NCBTMB Board of Directors decided to proceed with the creation of an advanced certification credential and exam. Nearly 7,000 practitioners responded to the Needs Assessment Survey, indicating that the interest in such a credential remains high. National Certification for Advanced Practice (NCAP)JOB ANALYSIS STUDY (PDF)

  • May 5, 2011: The Alliance for Massage Therapy Education offered a new vision for national certification, suggesting entry-level certification was unnecessary due to state licensure and advocating for NCBTMB to reposition its program as a graduate-level credential. They presented a three-step plan for NCBTMB reorganization, including relinquishing entry-level licensure testing, transitioning to a graduate-level National Certification, and sunsetting its Approved CE Provider program in favor of an FSMTB-administered program.
    THE ALLIANCE FOR MASSAGE THERAPY EDUCATION OFFERS NEW VISION FOR NATIONAL CERTIFICATION. Massage Magazine. “According to Rosen, “Now that we have licensure in most states, entry-level certification has been rendered unnecessary and redundant as a first credentialing step for those coming into the field. NCBTMB now has an excellent opportunity to upgrade and reposition its existing national certification program to a graduate-level credential.” See AFMTE’s Position Paper

“The lack of “portability” has resulted from a strategy of pursuing new licensure laws on a state-by-state basis over the past 20 years without the guidance of a model practice act to create parity among these regulations. This has occurred through efforts funded primarily by AMTA, which allowed state chapters to make autonomous decisions about the content and structure of their own legislation. What NCBTMB gained through this process was a disproportionate amount of power and influence, as its exam became the de facto “gatekeeper” for entry into the field in most jurisdictions.” AFMTE’s Position Paper

  • September 2011: Paul R. Lindamood stepped down as CEO of the NCBTMB. He was credited with refocusing the organization, reducing expenditures, and guiding the progress of the Advanced Credential. Press Release: archive.org

  • March 14, 2012: The NCBTMB announced it was phasing out the National Certification Exam. “The new credential will require 750 hours of education, 250 hours of hands-on experience and passing of a criminal background check, according to an NCBTMB press release. Additional qualifications for this credential will be determined based on feedback from the profession. Previously, the board had announced plans to pursue the development of the National Credential for Advanced Practitioners, but “after extensive feedback from the profession, and a further look at the difficulty in testing the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities for such a level of practice, the exam was deemed inappropriate for the current needs of the profession,” the press release noted. Rather, it was discovered that higher standards for certification were desired, and the new Board Certification credential, soon followed by the development of specialty exams, will provide a pathway for career success.” Massage Magazine on archive.org
  • March 2012: The NCBTMB announced it would no longer pursue the development of the National Credential for Advanced Practitioners, instead shifting focus to higher standards for certification through a new Board Certification credential and future specialty exams. Massage Magazine on archive.org
