Massage Therapy Exam Review:

for Massage Therapists from Unregulated Provinces or Trained Internationally:

MTECA:

Applicants who have not graduated from a Massage Therapy program at a private vocational school in Ontario, or a College of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario, must have their Massage Therapy education assessed. If their prior training is deemed equivalent to current programs approved in Ontario, they must also successfully complete the Standards and Regulations E-Workshop before being permitted to attempt the CMTO Certification Examinations.

The CMTO education and credential assessment process is called the Massage Therapy Education and Credential Assessment (MTECA).

The MTECA focuses on the individual’s Massage Therapy education, including any relevant professional development course(s) that may have been completed. It is a paper-based review that is less time consuming and less expensive for the applicant than the previous Credential and Prior Learning Assessment (CPLA) process and is designed to be both rigorous and fair.

CMTO will accept MTECA applications throughout the year. Applicants will need to obtain documentation in their home jurisdiction and are encouraged to begin the MTECA application process prior to arriving in Ontario.

For More information about the MTECA,  access to the MTECA application package, including a handbook with detailed instructions, all of the required forms, and fee information, please visit: https://www.cmto.com/massage-therapists-educated-outside-ontario/
