The first Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination (MBLEx) was given in July 2007 during the Pilot Testing phase of development. The MBLEx was developed with the help of leading massage & bodywork professionals throughout the nation.

The good news is that the content on the MBLEx is not objectively hard. There are no complicated mathematical calculations, minimal critical thinking skills, and no essays to write. However, many massage therapists still struggle to pass.

The answer is a little complicated, but in most cases, no. The FSMTB, who administers the MBLEx, does not limit the number of times you can take the MBLEx. But the FSMTB does limit the number of times you take the exam within a 30-day period. You can verify this information on their FAQ page.

Once you pass the MBLEx, you do not need to pay any more money or take any classes to maintain your MBLEx result. There are no annual fees or renewal dues. Your status with the MBLEx remains constant throughout your professional career as long as you maintain a license to practice in good standing.
