| COMMISSION on MASSAGE THERAPY ACCREDITATION BTI is accredited by COMTA -- and is the first school in the Carolinas to have achieved this status. This voluntary process requires a school to demonstrate its ongoing compliance with a rigorous set of standards that represent a high level of accountability. There are fewer than 70 massage schools in the country that have earned COMTA accreditation. COMTA is the only accrediting agency recognized by the United States Department of Education that has developed standards specific to the massage therapy field. These competency-based curriculum requirements assure that students receive quality education and the public receives quality service. |
| NORTH CAROLINA BOARD of MASSAGE & BODYWORK THERAPY This state agency, which regulates schools of massage and bodywork therapy in North Carolina, grants approval status to the schools, allowing graduates to take the National Certification Examination, and to apply for licensure as a massage and bodywork therapist. |
