The concept of continuing education through home study programs has been around for more then a century.
Distance education is a viable alternative to the hands-on training for anyone who wants to progress at their own pace and is otherwise unable to reserve classroom time because of the family or work schedules.
Our Distance Learning Program is concerned with both practical experience and theoretical and historical background of stone therapy, and very useful in terms of advancing the practice of utilizing heat and cold applications more frequently.
The requirements for home study courses are similar to our in-class study format and require as follows:
One (Level I) or one plus one (two) written exams (Level II) and a minimum passing grade of 80% in order to be both certified and registered for 10 or 20 certified educational units, respectively.
Completed practical work (exams and treatments) must be submitted within 9 months from the registration date.
Beside an opportunity to have a discount on the first set of stones, our students, if they wish,can also be listed on our web-site that is often used as a referral tool for clients and employers (Our Graduates page).

I loved this course. Thank you!
I really enjoy giving these massages. I got HST from someone who took a different course and I was disappointed with the procedures. Your course taught me a lot and made me more passionate about HST.
Thanks again, and take care,
Aimee, Saskatoon
