Class was very organized, supportive and professional The instructors were very professional and supportive throughout the 9 day practical. It meant a lot to have Steve Norton stop in and help with the teaching. The information I received has helped me educate and treat my massage clients who come in with lymphedema and who have had lymph nodes removed. My one complaint would be that I am not allowed to review the bandaging video. Any other manual therapy program I've attended offers a DVD of the practicum. Norton School does not. The school should at least allow graduates continued access to the on-line bandaging video to insure proper compliance of the treatment protocol. A video showing proper measuring for custom garments would be helpful. as well.

BEWARE BEWARE: Never received book although I paid in full 1.5mths before my start date on August 27, 2022. Other classmates received their books who had paid after I did, so make that make sense... I'm hoping for a refund. I completed my course on September 4, 2022 and was never given a certificate of completion. Other courses that cost far less, provided a certificate of completion on the last day of class. A few days ago I was emailed by Liz that if I didn't receive my certificate by mail in a month, to call them. What!!!???? Just email it to me, duh!!! Here it is the end of December and I've yet to receive my certificate of completion, which has delayed my license renewal!!! I just don't understand how the course cost so much, yet they do so little. I'm highly disappointed and wish I never chose this school. It's just too much and stressful. I simply want what I paid for without having to beg, email and continue waiting... Massage therapist shouldn't take this course, as they will not teach you an intact sequence, even if you ask. Ijs.

Teachers were good Teachers were good, not enough info on how to teach the clients how to wrap themselves. Not enough explaination on how to conduct a session, what to recommend for a clients visits and what they can expect . Hardly any training or suggestions on jobs. I felt left out in the cold . The training on gament fitting was a joke. Felt like Massage therapist were not welcome and this was out of our league. However, the training material, resourses and books were amazing. The classes were very very helpful.

Disappointing Instructors showed favoritism to certain students; by the end of the course, it seemed the intent was to fail most of the students instead of creating a supportive atmosphere with positive feedback. We never saw Steve Norton. ( [External Reference] appears at every class his company teaches) The location was not very convenient for out of town travelers, and the hotel had extra expenses for those staying more than a day or two. The basic knowledge presented was good and the techniques are sound and reliable for effective therapy.

Great program... Instructor issues Home study was great. No issues with the home study part. The nine day in class training was half ok and half great.... I just wish they would keep one instructor for the whole class because some of what we were taught in the beginning was a lil different than how the second instructor explained. My second instructor was amazing however my first instructor contraindicated herself several times.
