This 24 CE package also includes 12 FREE CEs of self-paced, online, home study training which includes all mandatory subjects plus a 5 CE hour medical massage course to make up your total 24 CE hour licensing requirement for one renewal cycle. You can purchase our 12 CE hands-on live in-person course for the same price as this 24 CE package. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS TIME-SENSITIVE TRAINING PACKAGE UNLESS YOU READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Please do not register for this training unless you mean to legitimately complete it. Online home study training must be 100% completed to earn CE credit and reporting. Partial credit and CE reporting are NOT available to anyone who attempts to fast forward or skip through our training videos which will create an incomplete and unreported training status.
-
Licensees must purchase training with their own payment method in their own licensed name which MATCHES their license # for CE reporting. Please do not allow anyone other than the student/licensee to purchase, contribute, take or complete any element of this training. Self-reporting your own CE hours is required when the licensed name does not match the student's registered name.
-

-
The FREE 12 CE hours of online home study training provided in this 24 CE FL LMT renewal package must be completed within 31-days from the minute of purchase before it is automatically deactivated and expires. Please immediately start training after purchase, because training extensions are not available for any reason with this free add-on training package, including tech issues.
-
The 12 CEs of online home study training is 100% prerecorded videos, quizzes and a survey which can be watched/taken 24/7, until the course access expires. Home study subjects are provided in a specific order with one CE certificate for all which cannot be changed. Students must watch 100% of the video training and can take their quizzes as many times as needed until passing, or until their course access expires. The boards require a passing grade of 70% with home study quizzes, while live in-person training only requires punctual and professional attendance. We recommend live in-person students arrive 30-minutes prior to the start of live training to sign-in, use the restroom, meet the other students and get settled because we always start live class on-time. Tardy in-person class arrivals could be denied entrance.
-
All 12 FREE CE hours of home study training must be completed online, in our home study system for CE credit. The videos we use to teach this training are not distributed offline and cannot be downloaded or fast forwarded, skipped or missed to earn CE credit. Students can download a large amount of companion training pdf files to keep forever during their course access period, before the training expires.

Registration within 7-days of the start of class is nonrefundable. There is a $50 fee deducted from all cancellations/refunds made with 7-days notice prior to the start date to cover the home study training costs, credit card merchant fees charged to provide a refund and the admin costs to process it all.
Please email us at info@CeInstitute.com if you have questions or require assistance, and please keep communications on one email thread which will help us respond faster than reviewing/responding to multiple emails under different threads. We always answer emails as quickly as possible. We do not provide phone support, except for live in-person students one-hour prior to the start of their in-person class for directions or other urgent matters. If you do not receive a response to your email within 48-hours, please send us a reminder so that we can help you. 24 hours and most are answered much quicker when a student requires urgent assistance during training. Please watch and follow ALL training instructions first, which usually eliminates any need for additional support.

This manual lymphatic drainage class was written and is taught by CE Institute LLC Founder, Selena Belisle. Selena initially studied Vodder-style Lymphatic Drainage in 1995 at the Massage Institute of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts – the same city where other schools such as MIT and Harvard University are located.
She has attended and studied in numerous lymphatic online and live classes (including initial lymphatic re-mapping research and studies in 2003). Selena found her studies of lymphatic drainage to be “frustrating”, given the amount of conflicting and misinformation amongst instructors. As such, Selena spent hundreds of additional hours sorting through research and published studies to create this evidence-based course where the efficacy of our teachings are 100% backed by scientific data. You can view a more complete list of Selena’s accolades including her publications, training and experience by clicking HERE.
In addition to practicing lymphatic drainage for over 25 years, Selena managed/owned an alternative health care practice for 10 years that serviced thousands, and employed over 40 massage therapists, 4 chiropractors and 4 acupuncturists in Quincy & Braintree, Massachusetts, until she sold in 2005. Lymphatic Drainage was one of the many modalities offered in this large group practice. The lymphatic drainage practiced within this clinic provided much relief for her clients, and was a wonderful healing alternative for customers who were contraindicated for regular massage. Selena’s long history, experience, studies, practice and instruction of manual lymphatic drainage makes her one of the foremost leading instructors of the modality today.
