Very Informational and hands on activity was great. It is an intense course, but well worth it. Book information matched class information and class was very open for discussion. Hands on section was great and allowed for many trials to get techniques right.

Disappointing Instructors showed favoritism to certain students; by the end of the course, it seemed the intent was to fail most of the students instead of creating a supportive atmosphere with positive feedback. We never saw Steve Norton. ( [External Reference] appears at every class his company teaches) The location was not very convenient for out of town travelers, and the hotel had extra expenses for those staying more than a day or two. The basic knowledge presented was good and the techniques are sound and reliable for effective therapy.

Awesome experience; opened up new doors for me! Yes its true that its nerve racking but the whole experience is worth it. Instructors are well versed especially Kathy with her take on physiology; they are all there to teach us and train as a colleagues. It opened new opportunities for my career and in-depth understanding for patient care. Will recommend it to everyone.

I took the course August 2022 I took the course August 2022. I'm at MT. This course comes with the textbook it comes with an online guide it comes with online videos it comes with online quizzes before you take the actual course in person 10 straight days of 12 hours.. so you can be prepared during the 10 days There is a lot of medical terminology. You do your own 40 hr of home study. It's the type of course you sink or swim. I felt terrified before my start. The majority of my class would study during their lunch break and snack break and breakfast and after the class we were studying... This class is not for faint of heart... It's not for somebody that wants to be on social media and shows up and get a certification because they showed up you have to put the work in... Steve Norton did show up to my class he was the second instructor... We were showed the vodder technique it's completely different from regular massages.We learned to bandage it's a lot harder than it looks. Even the PT's in the OT's were struggling... But I can definitely say no one who passed class didn't know what they were doing. Everyone who passed put in the work. People dropped in the beginning that didn't understand the terminology of the course it is so fast paced they have a lot to go through. I even think I failed my assessment my first assessment that definitely puts your confidence down... But it let me know that I didn't understand my material and I needed to study more and I did. And I passed. But I made sure I was attentive the whole course. Understand if you're doing lymphatics you can hurt somebody if you don't know what you're doing. So this class is not easy for a reason. I got a written letter with my name on it at the end of the course it stated that I had met all the qualifications and I had passed my clt course. It did take a few weeks to get my certification in the mail. I would definitely recommend this class to people who will take it seriously. Be ready to study a lot.

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.
