You’ll enjoy three different learning experiences through this online course to earn your Astym Certification:
If you are planning to get Astym Certified by yourself, then yes, you will need to recruit a healthy volunteer. It does not need to be the same person throughout all the online labs and practical exams. Your volunteer is needed for your online labs and practical exams with an instructor. Your volunteer may be a friend, coworker, spouse, relative, or another clinician also taking the online course.
If you choose another clinician getting Astym Certified through the online course as your lab partner, please be sure you BOTH have completed the necessary coursework/quizzes prior to scheduling a practical exam with an instructor. ONLY ONE of you will need to schedule each practical exam. REMEMBER: the name of your partner must be added to the practical exam when scheduling.
High-speed internet is a necessity for successfully completing the online course. During the course, participants will schedule and virtually attend ( via Zoom) 1:1 practical exams with an instructor. For optimal testing conditions and feedback from instructors, a high-speed internet connection is required.
According to Zoom’s website for 1:1 video calling, it’s recommended to have:
There are multiple online options that can be used to test the speed of your internet (speedtest.net, speedof.me, testmy.net, fast.com, speedtest.xfinity.com, etc.).
In order to successfully complete Astym’s online course and earn an Astym certification, participants will need a healthy volunteer/lab partner to practice on during online lab times and to demonstrate on during practical exams. This volunteer may be a friend, coworker, spouse, relative, or another clinician also taking the online course.
If you choose another clinician getting Astym Certified through the online course as your lab partner, please be sure you BOTH have completed the necessary coursework/quizzes prior to scheduling a practical exam with an instructor. ONLY ONE of you will need to schedule each practical exam. REMEMBER: the name of your partner must be added to the practical exam when scheduling.
Both certification formats begin with the same online materials. The only difference are in terms of how the participant interacts with an instructor. In the hybrid courses, participants receive feedback while they attend the live hands-on training portion of their certification. Within the online course, participants learn to treat one body region independently, are given time to practice, and then meet virtually with a tenured instructor to receive personalized feedback.
The value of the Astym certification remains the same whether a clinician has been certified through our hybrid learning experience or our online course experience. Both educational opportunities require intensive online training and interactive practical exams with an Astym Certified Instructor.
Astym instructors are master clinicians and experts in Astym therapy. The majority of our instructors have taught Astym therapy for over 10 years. During their time teaching, they’ve learned to recognize visual cues that indicate poor technique. You’ll receive multiple one-on-one feedback sessions with an instructor to help you perfect your skills, deliver great care, and achieve outstanding outcomes on your patients.
International therapists are welcome to register for the online course to get Astym Certified and must complete all necessary coursework, quizzes, online labs, and practical exams. International therapists are expected to be fluent in English (ability to speak, read, and write with ease in English) and fully understand English speakers to successfully complete the online course.
All current instructors for the online course are located within the United States.
Due to large variations in time zones between international students and Astym instructors, an international student’s ability to find a preferable practical exam time slot may be more limited than a student located within the USA.
