GBTeachers 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.

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.

GBDisappointing 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.

GBGreat 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.

GBInformative Course I really enjoyed Norton's class. I learned so much in 9 days and also had a great time doing it. I do have one thing to say, however. Our class had 16 participants to one instructor. We ran into many roadblocks with this issue during the first 4 days. We were learning so much initially this was great for the theoretical lymphedema education but for the hands on bandaging it did not work out well. We ended up going late a couple of days to get in the one on one reviews that we needed. I would say that for the lab portion the class should be limited to 10 students or two instructors need to be present. Otherwise the course was great with presentations by bandaging providers and such. Everyone was very welcoming and there was no awkwardness with practicing treatment methods.
