This week is the second article on developing your massage business. Now after massage school you must take the national exam to request a massage license. Believe me when I tell you that you would like to pass the first time. I will offer useful tips on exam preparation.
First off, take the test as soon as you can after you graduate from massage school. You want to do this while the information is still fresh in your head. To help with the questions, look into taking a class to help you prepare. Some massage schools offer two day classes for exam preparation. One such school is Cortiva, which has different locations across the country. These classes are open for all massage students not just Cortiva grads. For locations click HERE.
For those about to take the National Exam in Chicago there are some upcoming exam prep dates. Some massage schools in Illinois do not offer exams preparations as part of their curriculum so for some help click HERE.
Now be aware Cortiva and most exam preparation classes may not cover the Asian arts as part of their curriculum. So make sure you study Chinese medicine ( 14 meridians, yin/yang, 5 phase theory). Also have some general knowledge of the chakras. This will get you through the Asian arts related questions.
I hope this helps those ready to take the National Exam. Now next week, I will start the work process and guide you in finding meaningful work. As always this blog is about the times we live in now and how to grow and succeed in these times of change.
Next week PD3!
