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, in case you need to complete certified educational units (CEU's) 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).
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON HEATERS & STONES: We stopped selling heaters and stones in January 2010, and we probably will not sell them in the future either.
You can buy very inexpensive heaters in any major department store (anything goes: crock pots, oven roasters, rice cookers, all except the slow cookers, $50.00 per unit is an average price), and the stones can be easily found on the Ebay, Kijiji or the Craigslist also starting at 100.00 and up for a set of 50 or more. Always make sure you have a plenty of 3-5 inches stones because you will use them the most.
Please be aware that majority of stones sold presently on the market are not harvested ethically, and it is up you to conduct a proper research and to find where the stones are harvested and how. Do not be afraid to ask questions and take responsibility for your purchasing decisions. Also, feel free to contact us if you have any question in regards to how to determine the value of the set you are buying.
