MBLEx Test Prep Classes - $10 for each 2 hour class!

The Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam was developed to offer the first nationwide standardized licensing exam for the massage and bodywork profession; to allow massage therapists to be mobile (work in most states) and to give state organizations a data point for certification of therapists. In many states, it's mandatory if you want to become a Certified Massage Therapist.

Like any professional exam, this one is pretty challenging. You'll need some focused study time to pass. That's why we've created this organized time for you to prepare. We call them "BOOST MT" classes.

BOOST MT MBLEx prep classes are held several times a month, on TUESDAY evenings from 6 to 8pm at SVMTG, and are opportunties to spend focused time with your massage therapist colleagues learning and practicing for the test. The study classes are not sequential, you can sign up for as many sessions as you need–-each one will be a bit different.

The content and format of these instructor-guided drop-in classes are designed for massage therapists who want to build confidence in test-taking skills and help assess areas of content on the MBLEx test where they need further study. In the class you'll take self-assessments, get an overview of the major areas covered by the exam, and get specific information about questions similar to those included on the exam. The class will be active and fun and consist of a discussion, exercises, and both group and individual work time.

Format: Discussion, group and individual work time.
