Yes, if you are a Physical Therapist in California, this course is now approved for 1.6 CEUs. Other specialities/professional disciplines should be able to submit for individual credit but it is important for you to contact your state licensing board or professional credentialing board for information regarding policies and the amount of continuing education credits needed.
The Basic course is designed to be presented live for 75-90 minutes once a week for 8 weeks (8 hours approximately). With small group coaching every 2-weeks for one hour each (4 hours total). Weekly homework assignments build your foundation. The Basic course is estimated to take about 16-20 hours to earn a Certificate of Completion. Advanced enrollment will add additional 4-6 hours of mentoring to estimated course time, not including your time in completing evaluations. Elite level offers additional four hours of one: one mentorship and support when requested.
The TTEE course will be presented live on Zoom and is scheduled for Tuesday's at 10:00am-11:30pm PST, followed by (optional) Q&A session for 15-30 minutes. We will do our best to stay on schedule. All sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the learning portal within 12-24 hours of the session so you can catch up on what you missed.
Four small group coaching sessions are included and will also take place on Zoom. These are offered as an adjunct to the Tuesday lessons. They are scheduled every 2 weeks from 11am -12pm (tentatively). Your attendance is strongly encouraged but if you can't make it, a recording will be uploaded to the training portal. During this time, we will discuss assignments, case studies, questions, look at products and address other timely issues you might have. This is a great time to use my expertise to help you with anything ergo related you need assistance with so we can all benefit.
Yes, provided you enroll in the certificate program within 12 months of your training registration. Contact us for pricing if you want to be certified as a COESp after you earn your Certificate of Completion.
Yes, in the past we always did the training live and for clients on location. If you want to bring this course in-house, give us a call to work out the details for you.
We stand behind our training and products 100% because we know they work when you take action and use them in the way intended. Based on our decades of experience in the ergonomics industry, we are confident that if you complete the training, follow the steps to use the Worksite International System of Ergonomic Evaluation, pass your Knowledge Exams and implement the advice of your coach, then you will be better trained than you are today!
Changes or cancellations are available within 14 days of starting the course. You'll need to have a good reason. But we understand, life gets in the way sometimes. You can defer your training to the next session if you realize this course won't fit into your current schedule. You can also transfer the course to another person in your organization. If you must cancel entirely, we will refund your investment minus 25% cancellation fee.
