Student Comment:  I just finished completing two of the online classes that I purchased from you. Awesome learning experience. My only regret is that I didn't know about you sooner. I will definitely be using your classes in the future. Thank you for designing such fabulous classes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Will your online courses work on my phone, tablet, or other device? Yes. Since technology continues its rapid pace forward, it is impossible for us to provide a current and complete list of all devices on which our courses will work.

What is the difference between cognitive and kinesthetic courses? Cognitive courses are those that teach concepts related to massage therapy, but do not teach specific hands-on techniques. Courses such as ethics, pathology, anatomy, and research are classified as cognitive. Kinesthetic courses are those that teach specific hands-on techniques that you can use on clients during a massage therapy session. Some states limit how many kinesthetic courses can be completed in an online or home study setting. Refer to our state guidelines page for specifics about your state.

Do you report course completions to CE Broker? If your license number was linked to your online account with us when you took the online test, and if your state allowed CE providers to report to CE Broker, we will report your hours on your behalf. CE Providers are given 30 days from the date of completion to report the hours, although we generally report to CE Broker on a weekly basis.

Do you report our course completions to the NCBTMB, ABMP, AMTA, or any other agencies? None of these agencies have a method for us to report to them on your behalf. They prefer that you provide the evidence of CEs that their renewal process details. We do report to CE Broker as noted above.
