very bad experience There were many things wrong with this course, truly a huge disappointment! Instructor was very unprofessional and had a very inconsistent teaching style. The school failed to respond appropriately to serious issues brought to their attention. There also seemed to be a bias towards PT'S rather than being equal to all professionals in the class.

emphasis on hand placement, little real-life application Our instructors were very knowledgeable. The instruction was thorough in textbook technique, however, I was quite unprepared for real-life application. Our one instructor in particular emphasized the importance of completing CDT 100% by the book, no exceptions and had no advice for me at all when asked what I might offer if a patient cannot afford the materials. As expected, in my region, 2 in 10 people can obtain materials. Should I really send the others away and tell them, "Sorry, can't help" ?? What about the 80% of my patients who can't lie on their stomach, let alone lie flat on their back. Yes, over the course of a year and some very patient patients, I've figured out how I can help them. I regret the early patients I wasn't able to help because I didn't have the appropriate training.

BEWARE BEWARE: Never received book although I paid in full 1.5mths before my start date on August 27, 2022. Other classmates received their books who had paid after I did, so make that make sense... I'm hoping for a refund. I completed my course on September 4, 2022 and was never given a certificate of completion. Other courses that cost far less, provided a certificate of completion on the last day of class. A few days ago I was emailed by Liz that if I didn't receive my certificate by mail in a month, to call them. What!!!???? Just email it to me, duh!!! Here it is the end of December and I've yet to receive my certificate of completion, which has delayed my license renewal!!! I just don't understand how the course cost so much, yet they do so little. I'm highly disappointed and wish I never chose this school. It's just too much and stressful. I simply want what I paid for without having to beg, email and continue waiting... Massage therapist shouldn't take this course, as they will not teach you an intact sequence, even if you ask. Ijs.

Research thoroughly before you chose! Although the course appeared as if you would be getting your monies worth, it was not. It was unorganized as well as there were no true patients with Lymphedema present to understand the process. Not even videos to illustrate the sequence of the process. I enjoyed the first instructor as she related material to that of a student. However, the 2nd instructor was wrapped up in herself. She was always concerned about her lunch and going on a break. She also had to many personal issues going on that she shared daily. If a person were to take this course make sure you ask about your progress throughout the course. One student failed on the last day but there was no mention to her that she was in jeopardy. Always fully research all the schools and ask around of others opinion. I am quite sure I would have gone to their semi-competitor (External Reference) instead.
