Because we are approved providers through NCBTMB, we are required to share certain information with you about ourselves, such as: who we are, how long we’ve been in business, where and what we’ve taught and the type of professionals you might see sitting next to you in our seminars or who are also purchasing similar home studies. The following is a brief representation of these categories.
Professionals from varied healthcare fields attend SOM continuing education seminars: massage therapists, physical therapists, nurses, exercise physiologists, chiropractors, mental healthcare professionals, and those in general and specialized medicine.
This provider is guided by the state and national massage rules and laws but considers full attendance to be a requisite for full CE credit. If a therapist arrives late or leaves early or misses any time during the presentation, that time will be removed from the credit given at the end of the seminar. (Unless stated differently by your state board; it may be possible that a state has an all or nothing policy).
For states accepting partial CE credits, such as attending just six hours of a 12-hr seminar or missing time during the presentation, reported hours are adjusted accordingly.
There is no make-up time for missing seminar hours.
Therapists signing up for seminars that have FREE home studies promoted within a seminar product must be paid in full and attend the seminar to receive CE credits for the FREE home study portion.
In seminars, we address visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning needs. With home studies, therapists participate through visual, and depending on the course, through auditory and kinesthetic methods.
SOM uses medical publications, scientific studies, conferences, periodicals, world/local news, documentaries, various media programs, in-person interviews, local/overseas clinical and other associated work/teaching, Internet research, public research, and from over 50 years of field experience.
Yes. There is an evaluation page offered upon test completion with a space to add whatever additional comments you wish to describe your course experience.
Please click on “Login” and create and NEEDS TO BE AN account to choose your seminars. Alternatively, we can take your order by phone.
You may take the test up to two times at no extra charge. There is a $25 charge for each try after that.
When we email the certificate of completion, you can scroll down to see a copy of the graded test.
We report credits to Louisiana State Board and to CE Broker.
Testing is easy. Seminars do not require testing but home studies do.
No, we no longer have a mandatory time limit for testing. Still, completing the course within 90 days of purchase is always best, or at least before the end of your renewal cycle. Waiting longer could cause forfeiture due to course discontinuation. There may be more fees associated with additional assistance due to course or state board updates.
You will receive your certificate of completion as an E-mail attachment. You will need to download the attachment from the e-mail. We strongly suggest that you do this on a desktop or laptop computer. Once it is downloaded you may wish to print the certificate for your records.
Not when purchasing the course from our website. From our website, download the course to your computer immediately after purchase. You can read, save, or print it out; it's up to you.
However, if you have purchased one of our courses from the CE Broker, those courses are read right from their website. They will need to address any issues arising when purchasing or taking the course there. We have no control over their website. Please do E-mail us about any problems during buying or testing of our courses used on CE Broker.
Most people do not have difficulty, but test-taking is different for everyone. Most of our test questions are multiple-choice.
Since we are out-of-town for much of our work, office hours are irregular. Please E-mail us at: [email protected] or call 561-846-9717 with questions or concerns. TEXTING SHOULD BE USED FOR EMERGENCIES or URGENT matters due to the high volume of people we service. E-mails are best. They provide a documentable reference for requests and replies. Include your full name, state/professional license number (including any letters), and phone number with area code. Let us know the best time for a callback.
We offer a 90-day risk-free guarantee on all courses. We will gladly refund or exchange any course which has not been completed and is in new condition (on paper or online) if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase. We do not refund shipping costs. Refunds cannot be given on courses with completed exams. (STANDARD ACROSS TESTING SITES)
You will receive your certificate of completion as an E-mail attachment if you take an online class. You will need to download the attachment from the e-mail. We strongly suggest that you do this on a desktop or laptop computer. Once it is downloaded you may wish to print the certificate for your records. If you take an in-person class, seminar or home studies.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We do not accept American Express. Our site is set up to accept payments by someone else – so for example, a relative may pay for your class. Just set the “Billing Information” section on the registration form to their contact information. THE “Student Information” will be yours. It is best if you can sit with them while you make the purchase, because when you pay for the class, you will need to provide all of your contact information as well as your license number so that the class is in your name and not theirs.
