FL to NY LMT
by: Anonymous

1. Apply for a NY MT License $100.
-Be aware that you must have at least 1000 hours of GRADED training, NOT ceu's. There are specific classes you must take for NY, so even if you already have 1000 hours, they have to be in the subject matter NY indicates. Just as Florida inicates you need Florida Law, Practice Errors, etc. as a part of your minimum 500 hour training requirement.

2. If you do not meet NY's 1000 hour education requirement (YOU WON'T!), they will send you a letter stating what classes/hours you are deficient in.

3. Find a massage school, approved by NY State, that will work with you to make up the required classes/hours.

4. Once you are done with classes and your education HAS BEEN APPROVED by NY, you then MUST register to take the NY State MT exam (offered through Castle Worldwide NOT EMBLEX) The NY State MT Exam is only offered in January(sign up by December 1) or August(sign up by June 1). NY does NOT accept the NCETMB!

5. Take and pass the state exam.

6. Get your NY MT License!

(Wasn't that simple!?)

Scenario: You have applied to NY AND have received from them your "letter of deficiency". You find an approved school to go to in say... April, but naturally, you can only take the classes when THEY offer them. After say, four months, you finally finish your make up classes/hours and it's now July. Too late... you can't take the state exam until January, and, you must register to do so by December 1! In the meantime, you CAN get a job at an establishment (spa/gym/chiro) by obtaining a limited permit, good for for one year only, and is not renewable. Another LMT who works at the same establishment and will be there when you are working must sign your permit as your "supervisor/sponsor" and "watchful eye". As you see, it can be a very long and drawn out process. Good Luck to you!
