Step 2: Receive Your Application Package

📥 Upon reaching out, you will receive an email application package containing essential documents:

• RMT Application Form

• ARMTA Code of Ethics

• Standards of Practice

• Study Guide for the Proficiency Assessment

  
  

Take your time reviewing these materials. They provide a solid foundation for what it means to be an RMT, and understanding these documents will set you up for success in the subsequent steps.

Step 3: Submit Your Application

📝 Once you've completed the application form and reviewed the necessary documents, it's time to submit your application.

You can send it back to us via email. After submission, we will log your details and swiftly move you onto the next major step—taking the proficiency assessment.

This is a critical point in your journey to becoming an RMT, as it signifies your commitment to professional standards.

Step 4: Take the Proficiency Assessment

🧠 After your application is processed, you will receive a link to the online proficiency assessment.

This assessment is crucial as it tests your understanding of massage therapy principles and practices. A score of 70% or higher is required to proceed to the insurance step.

And if you don't pass? No worries! We will provide constructive feedback and another opportunity to re-attempt the assessment.

Step 5: Complete Your Insurance

📄 Upon successfully completing the proficiency assessment, you will receive an insurance form to fill out.

Filling this out correctly is vital, as it ensures you are covered while practicing as an RMT. After you return the form, we will verify everything and submit it to our partner provider, Monarch Insurance Company.

Once confirmed, we will start preparing your official RMT documents, marking a significant milestone in your membership journey.

Step 6: Membership Payment

💳 The final step involves paying for your membership.

Once you receive notification that your RMT documents are ready, you will also receive an invoice for payment. It is important to note that no documents will be released until payment is confirmed.

Upon receipt of your payment, you will receive your RMT Certificate and an official member letter, complete with your unique ARMTA RMT number.
