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.

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.

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.

GBvery bad experience There were many things wrong with this course, truly a huge disappointment! Instructor was very unprofessional and had a very inconsistent teaching style. The school failed to respond appropriately to serious issues brought to their attention. There also seemed to be a bias towards PT'S rather than being equal to all professionals in the class.

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.
