Arkansas requires 18 hours of continuing education every two years. Of the 18 hours required, 6 hours may be completed by distance learning or online courses. 

Applications for renewal must be postmarked on or before the first day of the month preceding the applicant’s birthday.  For example, with a birthday of June 15, the application must be postmarked on or before May 1.

As an approved provider with NCBTMB, the Arkansas Department of Health will accept all of our home-study courses for massage therapy continuing education. Therefore, you may take 6 hours of continuing education online here at Adawehi Institute.

DURING THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ALL APPROVED CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES WHETHER APPROVED FOR HANDS-ON OR ONLINE CAN BE ADMINISTERED ONLINE.  All required 18 hours of Continuing education can be obtained through on line courses.
