Professional Licensure Information
Upon completion of this program of study, students will be eligible to sit for the Massage and Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx).

The Massage Therapy Licensing Act stipulates that massage therapy licensure may be refused to a person who has been involved in a criminal offense, such as a felony or misdemeanor. Conviction of a criminal offense does not automatically bar licensure, but Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will take such conviction into consideration.

This program of study prepares students to seek a professional licensure or certification in the state of Illinois and may not meet minimum requirements for other states. See the Professional Licensure Disclosure at www.iecc.edu/licensuredisclosure.
