Checking up on CE classes

Is this a good forum for insight or reviews regarding organizations/schools that offer CE courses. I am looking at a class offered in an area of interest and it's being taught in a drivable proximity. While convenience and substantial cost savings are very appealing, it wouldn't make sense if the program was substandard. I would appreciate opinions. Thanks, Wayne

What state do you live in? What class are you looking into and where is it offered?

Have you checked out what classes your school is currently offering? (the school you went to for massage therapy). And have you looked up info on the AMTA website?

The class is medical massage. It is 2 three day weekends over 2 months and is being conducted in Indianapolis (one of several cities where the class is being offered) by L.M.T Success Group. They are on the NCBTMB website as an approved provider. My massage school, and inho a very good one, isn't conducting any CE classes I am that interested in at this time.

I received a brochure from them a couple weeks ago. And like you was interested in the medical massage classes. I read on a different forum from others who took the class that it was a nice class for a recent graduate. I am still undecided about the classes.

I have a brochure from crosscountryeducation.com They have some seminars that look interesting. Haven't made up my mind yet

Thanks for the response. My connection was also from a brochure/flyer I received in the mail. I am a recent graduate and feel very confident with my skills, but I'm really looking for continuing education in a more specific direction. And medical massage is one area I am interested in pursuing. Somewhat like now having you bachelors and now going on to grad school. Would you tell me the forum you spoke of that had mt's who took the course? btw-thanks for responding.
