CE Broker
As of 2026, CE Broker is the official platform of the Tennessee Massage Board for CE records. Even if your instructor reports your completion for you, you are required to upload your certificate of completion along with class information in to your CE Broker account. The board has supplied free accounts to all massage therapists licensed in Tennessee, so a paid account is not necessary for reporting.
The basic account provided to you hold all the functions you need to report, but if you have multiple licenses to keep track of you may be interested in the paid options
