Workshops
We offer a wide variety of extended learning workshops and
classes are scheduled throughout the year for advanced
students and therapists. Most of these classes can be taken
individually and as part of a Certificate program. These
courses are designed to provide the student with new
techniques for expanding their business and customer base.
Our 6 hour
Continuing Education Workshops have been developed to provide
support to therapists in new and continued areas of interest
based on marketplace feedback, as well as fulfilling the State
of Texas annual continuing education requirements. Many of
these workshops are introductory classes in areas whereby
further study may be obtained through our certificate
