Each state differs in their requirements for Massage Therapy. Some states have no requirements, like California. In California in most places they have county requirements and you must register with the vice squad. others states require a certain amount of class hours and to pass a test.
There are 3 possible test that can be taken: the national boards, the Federation Test, or the states own test.
As of now there isn't one test that can help you to be "nationally certified" like a doctor. The best thing to do is to contact the state you would like to practice in and get the information for the source.
Some states that have their own test are Ohio and New York. Other states like Washington you need 800 hours and the pass either the Federation or the National Boards.
In Oregon they require a certain amount of hours and only accept the Federation Test.
