Continuing Education Classes : Sponsoring information to bring a class to your area

Basic Guidelines:

Your job is to aid in finding a space to have the class and to suggest lodging for myself and visiting students.

For me, lodging near class location and easy access to transportation to and from airport

The classroom environment....

Classroom should accommodate 1 massage table (therapists can bring) per 2 students with working space around each.

For a joint/clay class, room should additionally accommodate one banquet type table per 4 students with working space around each.( you provide)

800 sq ft is a workable space (bigger is better), with adequate ventilation and as much natural light as possible.

The room should have one blank wall or large screen on which to project graphic images.

One banquet type table with nearby power supply to set up a laptop and projector approximately 10-15 feet from screen.

We will require the space from 8:00 to 6:00 each day for set up and closure.

These are advanced techniques and as such, I require that each student must have received prior basic massage/bodywork training. The California state basic is acceptable.

Facilities where courses are held are to be handicap accessible. When a student calls and identifies himself or herself as disabled, instructor/sponsor will discuss their needs and how to best accommodate them in the classroom. Student must give instructor/sponsor notification of special needs prior to the beginning of the class allowing adequate time for reasonable allowances to be made. Allowances for special needs will be met as long as they do not impose an "undue burden" on the instructor as listed in the ADA.
I do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Facilities where courses are held require adequate parking, clean restrooms, and nearby restaurants.

About the $$$

Cost: I have travel expenses that need to be addressed and paid for at the time of purchase. What has worked in the past is we offer and promote the class approximately 2 months ahead. There will be an early registration discount. As an example, a two day class is often offered at $275 with an early registration fee of $225. This can inspire folks to sign up early so that approximately a month out we can evaluate potential attendance.

You will receive the class at a discount or no cost. Does bringing a class to your area sound not to diffiocult?

Please note these are guidelines....subject to change.

Schools interested in incorporating classes as part of their Continuing Education curriculum are encouraged to get in touch for the associate program.

Other useful information:

Assisting promotion of the class. As an example, I have articles and press releases we can offer to a local publications that serves to stir up interest.

A tasteful flyer helps, though "word of mouth " works the best.
