Commonly asked questions:
How do I register for your courses?
By navigating using the topic home bar, you can choose between our MTI course, CE courses for Texas massage therapists, and CE courses for all other states. There you can watch videos and read about each course! In each course’s section, there is a link with the words “REGISTER FOR THIS COURSE,” which will take you to the course’s homepage for purchase.
I clicked “Take this course,” and it doesn’t do anything.
Please note that when purchasing, after clicking “Take this course” for the second time after registration or logging in, a small dropdown menu will appear on the left-hand side of the button, offering the option to use PayPal or a Credit Card (via Stripe) on the checkout page. Click on your preferred option to be redirected to the payment portal of your choice.
