CRMTA widely recognizes all Seminars for Health courses for CEC credits. All Active and Associate CRMTA members must complete 30 Continuing Education credits (CEC) every three years to maintain their CRMTA membership. A maximum of 10 of the 30 credits can be secondary credits. Your CRMTA membership start date determines your 3-year cycle.
Primary credits are allocated to in-class, hands-on continuing education courses related to massage therapy. One credit is awarded per hour, to a maximum of 20 credits per course/workshop.
Secondary credits are allocated to courses on modalities that enhance a massage or on one’s professional development in massage. Courses may include ethics, communication, additional modalities, etc. Participation in some CRMTA events also counts towards secondary credits.
For online classes, CRMTA will allocate one credit per hour class.
We are proud to be certified with MTAM.
All of our listed courses are approved by MTAM except for new courses which are submitted for pre-approval.
As Cycle 13 ends on October 31, 2022, CMTBC and registrants will transition away from the Quality Assurance model that requires completion of a specified number of approved continuing education activities in a two-year cycle.
This model of Quality Assurance – a program which consists primarily of requirements for completion of continuing education activities – is no longer current with best practices in regulation and current evidence on continuing competence.
Throughout 2023, CMTBC will continue the development of a new Quality Assurance program, a process which will include consultation with registrants, and plans to launch the new program in January 2024.
In 2023, there will be no requirement for RMTs to complete either a CMTBC-authored online course or self-directed courses for continuing education credits. However, CMTBC asks that, in the coming year, RMTs remain current with the information provided by the College regarding the redesigned Quality Assurance program.
Although there will be no requirement for registrants to report continuing education credits in 2023, RMTs are encouraged to continue to engage in any professional development course or activity that they consider will support their practice. RMTs are individually responsible for ensuring that any modality or skills-based training they wish to complete is within the scope of practice for massage therapy, if they plan to incorporate that learning into their practice.
Beginning early next year, CMTBC will be seeking input from RMTs as part of a consultation process.
For questions related to the new Quality Assurance program, please email info@cmtbc.ca using the subject line: ‘Quality Assurance Program Development.
I think Seminars for Health is a game changer for all of us. Linda is very passionate about our industry and I thank her tremendously for filling this much needed void. I look forward to many more courses with this fabulous team.
I have been practicing for over 20 years and by far the SFH Dynamic Cupping course is the best course that I have taken. Looking forward to more quality courses with Seminars for Health!
The depth and quality of Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage is phenomenal. Seminars for Health is not only passionate and knowledgable, but also have great instructors.
I have finished the first few courses of SFH Orthopedic Massage Certification and my clients can all feel the difference. Seminars for Health...where were you all these years?
I learned TMJ massage at school but not at this level of depth. My fingers feel comfortable navigating and my clients are at ease receiving this precise and often vulnerable work. Mara is a gifted instructor and is an expert with this material.
I took SFH Orthopedic Massage Certification as a massage student with Linda and my hands changed for the better. My student clinic clients would ask me why my techniques and touch were so much different than the others. One client who had daily headaches for 20+ years is mostly headache free now and followed me into my own practice since graduating.
I just completed the Online Kinetic Massage of the Hip course and I’m pleased with how the course was laid out. It was very informative and easy to understand. I liked how I could rewatch the videos as many times as needed while performing the techniques, I feel it made understanding the course much easier.
Fascial Decompression with Denny is AMAZING. I so wish that I took this course earlier in my career. I cannot believe the difference it has made with clients who live with persistent pain.
Linda, I'd just like to tell you that it was a great weekend. It's been a while since I've taken a course and I feel more motivated and excited to work than I have been for quite a while. Already, these new techniques, along with my existing approach, are yielding effective results.
