Proof of Attendance versus Certification

Students complete our classes and receive our “proof of attendance.” They still receive the allotted amount of credits specified by their association and do not need to complete an exam.

Students complete our “Certification” after they successfully write our exam.  If they pass all exams required (if more than one), they will receive a final SFH certificate stating that they completed all requirements to be a “Certified Therapist.”


SFH Certification requirements 

  1. Students have to complete first the prerequisite online course: Effective Tissue Manipulation. This is included FREE when you book any Orthopedic Massage class.
  2. Students must be present for the whole duration of the course length to become certified.  
  3. Students must participate and safely execute all hands-on components of the course.  
  4. Students must pass the final written exam. 

Please note that the instructors have the right to ask the students to execute any hands-on component at any time. Refusal will deny you from the exam process and, subsequently, your certification.  

SFH instructors hold the right to refuse students from writing the final exam if they feel that they cannot safely perform the material despite adequate training.

You will receive an email, including an electronic version of your proof of attendance. Upon registration, make sure you enter your information correctly to ensure this happens. We collect your email address, first name, and last name (please give us the name you wish to have on your proof of attendance).
