Please Note: Our courses are continuing education course (CEUs) are for massage therapists. While a non-licensed/certified person may take them for their personal use, they may not legally practice without an underlying massage therapy license if their jurisdiction requires one, as most jurisdictions do. The only exception to this is the Infant Massage course. In most jurisdictions you can take the course, earn the title of "Certified Infant Massage Instructor" to teach infant massage. You cannot, however, hold yourself out to be a certified massage therapist. We cannot deviate from our standard return policy (see FAQ) if you enroll in a course that you later determine is not valid for practice in your jurisdiction. Courses are non-transferable. Certificates and transcripts will only be issued in the name of the person who enrolls in the course at the time of purchase.
