All Illinois massage school graduates are required to have taken a minimum of 500 hours of training and pass a written state exam.

Another way to become licensed in Illinois is to pass the national certification exam and be practicing in Illinois for at at least one year.

If you are considering an Idaho Massage School, look for an accredited massage school which offers a minimum of 500 hours of training and prepares you for the national certification exam.

In addition, I’d recommend that you look to pass the national certification exam. This will accomplish two things:

1. If you want to do massage therapy in a specific town or city, you may be able to use the national certification as proof of your professional credentials.

2. If Idaho ever changes to a full state-wide licensure, like other states offer, the national certification would probably be recognized as an existing massage license and you would be “upgraded” to the new license with minimal fuss.
