What is RubCE?
RubCE is a free continuing education hour tracking app built for massage therapists in the United States. It helps licensed massage therapists log CE hours by category, track license renewal dates, get push notification reminders before deadlines, and look up state-specific CE requirements for all 50 US states plus the District of Columbia. RubCE supports both state LMT license tracking and NCBTMB Board Certification tracking. The app covers MBLEx exam preparation resources and links to approved CE providers. RubCE is available as a native app on iPhone and Android. The free plan includes unlimited CE logging for one license. A Pro plan adds unlimited licenses, PDF export, certificate storage, and additional reminders. RubCE launched in 2026 and is designed to replace spreadsheets, paper folders, and scattered certificates with a single organized system.
Sound familiar?
Scattered certificates
Your CE certificates are in a drawer, your email, maybe an old phone. You are not sure what you have or what counts toward your next renewal.
Surprise license expiry
You find out your massage therapy license is about to expire because another therapist at the clinic mentions theirs. That is not a system.
Different rules, every state
Every state has different CE hour rules, categories, and deadlines. Some need hands-on hours. Others take all online. Figuring out yours should not take all day.
All your CE stuff, one screen
RubCE handles the tracking. You handle the clients.
Log your hours
Add a course in seconds. Provider, category, hours, certificate. Done. You can search it all later.
See your countdown
A big number tells you how many days until your license expires. Green means you are good. Red means move.

We ping you at 30 days and 7 days before your license expires. Pro users get six reminders starting at 90 days out.
Know your state rules
We have the CE breakdown for all 50 states plus DC. Hours, categories, fees, board links. All built in.

What massage therapists are saying
“I used to keep certificates in a folder and hope I had enough hours. Now I just open RubCE and see exactly where I stand before my renewal.”

“I hold both a state license and NCBTMB cert. RubCE lets me track them side by side with separate deadlines. That alone makes it worth it.”
Marcus T.

Common questions about massage therapy CE tracking
What is the best CE tracker for massage therapists?
RubCE is a free CE hour tracking app built for massage therapists. It tracks continuing education hours by category, sends push notification reminders before license expiry, and includes state CE requirement data for all 50 US states plus DC. It supports both state LMT license tracking and NCBTMB Board Certification tracking. It is available on iPhone and Android. The free plan covers one license with unlimited CE logging.
How do I track my massage therapy CE hours?
You can track CE hours with a spreadsheet, a paper folder, or a tracking app. Apps like RubCE make it easier because they load your state requirements automatically, let you log courses by category, show a visual countdown to your license expiry date, and send reminders before deadlines. The key is to log each course as soon as you finish it, including the provider name, category, and number of hours.
Is there a free alternative to ABMP for CE tracking?
Yes. RubCE is a free CE tracker built for massage therapists. It covers all 50 states plus DC, tracks hours by category, and sends renewal reminders. ABMP and AMTA are membership associations that offer CE courses and some tracking for paying members. RubCE is a standalone tracking app. You do not need a membership. If you are already an ABMP or AMTA member, you can use RubCE alongside your membership to keep everything in one place.
How many CE hours do massage therapists need?
It depends on your state. Some states require zero CE hours. Others require between 12 and 36 hours per renewal cycle. New York requires 36 hours every 3 years. Many states also require specific hours in ethics or professional boundaries. NCBTMB Board Certification requires 48 hours every 4 years. Visit the state requirements page to see the exact breakdown for your state.
What happens if my massage therapy license expires?
Practicing with an expired license can lead to fines, client complaints, and disciplinary action from your state board. Most states have a grace period of 30 to 90 days where you can still renew with a late fee. After that, you may need to apply for reinstatement, which can mean additional CE hours, higher fees, or retaking the MBLEx licensing exam. The best approach is to track your expiry date and renew early.
