CE INSTITUTE LLC BLOG

For the past several years, CE Institute LLC has offered in-person training and trade show education, providing thousands of CE hours to students and trade show participants, until COVID19.  

Today, much of our population continues to self-isolate, suffer or lose their lives to this horrible virus. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who suffer. We hope here will be an end to this soon.

At CE Institute LLC, we will not schedule any in-person training for the rest of 2021 due to the close personal contact our bodywork training entails for many hours at a time.  With great effort and expense, we have successfully launched our live interactive webinars which have been a tremendous success.  We hope to see old faces and new in any of these successful and discounted educational offerings.

Unfortunately, we are unable to plan future in-person training until we can better understand how to prevent the acquisition and/or transmission of this lethal contaminant.  And while we've become better as a world in recognizing the symptoms and treating this illness, plus developing a vaccine to help prevent hospitalization, our goal would be to hold an in-person training that provides minimal to zero risk to all participants.

We will continue to monitor the progress of COVID19 prevention and treatment options and plan in-person training according to COVID19 prevention and treatment success. So the answer is yes, one day we will resume in-person training when it is safe to do so.  We do not feel it is worth the risk to anyone's life to hold an in-person training, whether it be the student themself or someone else they could trasmit the virus to.  As such, until minimal to zero risk to in-person class participants can be achieved, we will not schedule or hold any in-person classes.

Trigger Point Therapy is here to stay! According to the AMTA, a private business applied for exclusive use of the term "triggerpoint", which would have deprived many LMTs from applying/selling the therapy by it's proper name.  The AMTA states they won this fight against the application so that we can all continue to practice and use the modality Trigger Point Therapy - BRAVO!

CE Institute LLC is offering $25 refresher classes for past students who would like to repeat one of their previous trainings.  There are no certificates or CE credit provided with a refresher class (as of right now they are only available for live interactive webinars); however, it's a great resource for students who want to see the educational materials again, watch the instructor demonstrations and/or practice their hands-on skills.  

There is EXTREMELY LIMITED availability in the refresher program - not all classes will have refresher seats available in them.  Refresher seat availability will be posted on our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter social media accounts.
