At 9 pm Eastern Time this evening, we'll wrap it up and call it a day - but this day is special.  This day ends an entire season for our 2021 Florida Massage Therapists as a Florida based school. 

Before we turn off the computers and lights - we just wanted to express our thanks to the wonderful students who were patient with us as we spent our first unbelievable season teaching online live webinars during a pandemic.  We spent about 6 months last year getting over 20 years of training materials online with over 250 new board approvals, and we're very pleased with the amount of material, and quality of material we were able to share with these live computer-based trainings.

Overall, we received superior feedback from students with our new, live, interactive hands-on webinars.  We didn't know how well the training format would be received by students when we started this program, so we were very pleased to receive so much positive feeback about our new online live training program.

Our temporary approvals to teach our in-person classes as live interactive webinars expires at midnight tonight with the Florida Board of Massage, so if we continue our live online education, we will have to apply for new approvals with the Florida Board which will take some time.

The entire staff is going to take a much needed vacation from teaching CE hours here at CE Institute LLC.  We'll be spending some time reviewing this year's operations, plus student feedback to determine how we can continually improve our offerings for both online and in-person classes.

So thanks again to everyone who participated with this new training format which was a forced practice due to COVID-19.  Our school specializes with in-person training so it was truly wonderful to share such wonderful hands-on training opportunities in these very trying times.

Please join our social media facebook, twitter and instagram to see announcements for our next training opportunities.  We hope to see the students who enjoyed our training again soon!  Please continue to take care of yourselves and be safe - and thanks so much for such a wonderful season.

Today, we saw a massage therapy social media post where a massage employer is trying to hire a massage therapist based on a select ethic/national origin decent.

CE Institute LLC does not provide legal advice.  We also try to refrain from telling anyone how to operate their business.  However, after seeing this today we thought it might be helpful to share these government website links from the US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, especially for those who might face federal prosecution for bad or illegal business practices in the massage employment industry:

• Equal Employment Opportunity
• Ethnic/National Origin
• Age Discrimination

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.
