The FSMTB governs and administers the Massage & Bodywork Licensing exam (MBLEx). It serves the massage therapy and regulatory communities as the national entry-level licensure examination. The MBLEx is currently utilized for licensure in 46 of 49 regulated jurisdictions. These include the District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.



The MBLEx is administered in both English and Spanish by Pearson VUE- the global leader in electronic testing services- at high-security test centers located throughout all 50 states- the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories.



To ensure that the MBLEx reflects current practice- FSMTB conducts a Job Task Analysis (JTA) Survey every five to seven years. The JTA seeks input from massage and bodywork professionals across the United States. This data is then used to analyze and revise MBLEx content as deemed necessary by the profession- guided by psychometric professionals.



The Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) conducted a Job Task Analysis (JTA) in 2017 to ensure that the Massage & Bodywork Licensing exam (MBLEx) is assessing knowledge and skills relevant to entry-level competence. Thousands of massage and bodywork professionals participated in the JTA survey and a follow up analysis of the responses was reviewed by subject matter experts- psychometricians and FSMTB member board representatives. The FSMTB Board of Directors adopted the recommended test plan.
