Provisional License

Within recent times, we have received interest from Massage Therapists who have trained outside of Trinidad & Tobago wishing to obtain their Licensure to practice here. However, since our Licensure exams take place in June and October of every year, these persons would require some documentation allowing them to practice while awaiting the Licensure exam.

Thus, we have created a "Provisional License" which is valid for 1 year; giving persons sufficient time to write our Licensure exam.

For more information on obtaining a "Provisional License", see below

(1) A person shall send in writing a request for provisional licensure from the Massage Therapy Board of Therapeutic Massage of Trinidad & Tobago, registered office #68 Market Street, Gopaul Lands, Marabella by calling 221-5497 / 770-8994 or sending an email to tmtattassociation@gmail.com. The request for a provisional licensure shall include the following information:

(a) An official transcript from the massage therapy program that you have graduated from documenting completion of a massage therapy program pursuant to the TMTATT Board Approved Massage School stating number of hours completed in your training OR evidence of a license from the state/country that you received it from. The board may accept transcripts issued to the applicant and placed in a sealed envelope that carries the massage therapy program or school’s seal or stamp. A fee of $500.00 must accompany your request for provisional license.

(b) Written verification from the massage therapy school that you have successfully completed the entire program

(c) A Certificate of Good Character (valid for 2 years from the date you received it)

(d) A medical certificate of good health (obtained from your General Practitioner)

(2) A provisional license is valid for one (1) year from the date of issuance. Upon expiration of a provisional license the licensee shall no longer engage in the practice of massage therapy. To resume practicing massage therapy a person must either apply to renew the provisional license, if he/she has not passed the national examination, or obtain a license as a massage therapist from the Massage Therapy Association of Trinidad & Tobago.

(3) A provisional license may be renewed for an additional number of months at the discretion of the board, not to exceed one (1) year. To renew a provisional license the applicant must complete a request in writing to “The Board” providing a written explanation for renewing the provisional license, and pay the required fee $300.00.

Declaration: Any unforeseen issues shall be dealt with by “The Board” as they arise
