GBComprehensive The Norton School CDT Course covered a broad range of topics in Lymphedema and had dynamic instructors. They provided adequate supplies for learning and practicing. The course is jampacked with lots of information.

GBI 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.

GBNorton School- Norton School- My time with the educators was very valuable. I learned skills that I am currently applying in my daily practice. I would highly recommend this certification course. One benefit from the class was the two instructors. one the first 1/2 and a different the second 1/2. While this was frustrating at first I can now see the reason for this and the benefit for my current practice. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that even though I took the class over a year ago I still feel the venue provided the best environment for this class.

GBResearch thoroughly before you chose! Although the course appeared as if you would be getting your monies worth, it was not. It was unorganized as well as there were no true patients with Lymphedema present to understand the process. Not even videos to illustrate the sequence of the process. I enjoyed the first instructor as she related material to that of a student. However, the 2nd instructor was wrapped up in herself. She was always concerned about her lunch and going on a break. She also had to many personal issues going on that she shared daily. If a person were to take this course make sure you ask about your progress throughout the course. One student failed on the last day but there was no mention to her that she was in jeopardy. Always fully research all the schools and ask around of others opinion. I am quite sure I would have gone to their semi-competitor (External Reference) instead.
