You will have to pass a very simple exam to obtain a permit
1)You need 70% correct answers to pass the exam. It is easy to pass if you study the basic muscle groups and bones from Anatomy class and you can pick up a “Study Guide & Resources” from Env. Health Section on Market street which has all of this info and gives you tips on what to know for the test

The Environmental Health Section 
1390 Market Street, Suite 210
SF, CA 94102
phone:#415.252.3800
hotline: 415.252.3882

They will tell you what to bring to the test. Bring either a CHECK or MONEY ORDER to pay for the application fee… Schedule your test date with them and pick up a massage therapists study guide book… 

2)When you pass the exam, go to City Hall (1 block away) to the tax collector’s office to pay the $78 fee for your license.  (The licensing fee might have gone up, so be prepared for that.)

3)For your permit, you will be asked to take a picture…
