Education & Training Working Group

It has been the remit of the GCMT to standardize Body Massage/Body Works by aligning our Core Curriculum with the National Occupational Standard (NOS). 

In tandem with the setting and review of the core curriculum, we are developing the criteria for entry onto the National Register of Massage Practitioners when our self-regulatory body comes into being.  Accredited Prior Learning will be taken into consideration for those practitioners who qualified prior to these standards being put in place.

In the interim period, we are introducing the GCMT National Register of Massage Practitioners and application to join is open to all qualified massage practitioners currently in membership of a GCMT member association (please refer to our News Section).

A system of Continued Professional Development is being created which will be a requirement for the continued development of all GCMT registered Massage Practitioners and will assist them to meet the anticipated stringent requirements of the self-regulatory body.

GCMT are working diligently at this time developing a forward plan to take us towards meeting and completing the necessary requirements of becoming the recognized Regulatory Body of our Profession.  This is an exciting development and will offer an opportunity to all Massage Therapists meeting the required standards to become registered with the Self-Regulatory Body.
