New to Florida? Steps Taken to Practice in Your New Location
Posted on: May 20, 2013
Contact Government Agencies
An individual new to Florida must find out the state’s licensing requirements to legally practice massage therapy. A great way to find out the employment rules for a licensed occupation in a new location is by looking for information on the internet. Most states have specialized government offices that provide information to the public about the regulation of various occupations in the beauty and health care industry. The government agency will also have a way to communicate by phone or email to learn about schools with accredited massage therapy classes in the just moved resident’s new location.
Provide Grade Transcripts
Contact colleges about updating training as a transfer student to achieve licensing to practice massage therapy in Florida. Bringing transcripts of grades and licensing documents to the new location helps a transfer student transition into a massage school’s educational program. The massage school will lead the transfer student through the new location’s steps to receive certification or licensing. An administrator at the school will analyze the student’s transcript to determine the new coursework requirements. Updating training with an accredited program can ensure a student’s success in passing the states testing procedures for massage therapists.
Pass a Licensing Exam
Each state has different educational requirements to practice massage therapy. A student new to Florida will need to fill in the gaps with additional classes in lecture formats, laboratories or practical experience. An accredited school will place the transfer student in appropriate classes to fulfill the new location’s legal requirements. At the same time, a massage therapy student can review material suggested by the school that assists in passing the required exams. The administrators of a massage school will also provide advice on providing documentation to the state to receive licensing quickly.
