For instance in the case of OAMPS, Thai Yoga Massage is a recognized modality and adding this to your policy is free.  Check with your insurance provider for more information.  If you are not currently registered/insured, check out membership organizations like www.iict.com.au to see if you qualify.

Can I Use This Course to attain CPD or CEC points?

Check with your governing body, but in the case of the Yoga Australia you can use this course to attain CPD points and even upgrade your membership from Provisional to Full and beyond.  Please check with your governing body to ensure that this course is aligned with their guidelines.  For more information on Yoga Australia CPDs and Membership Upgrades visit the Yoga Australia Website

Can I Practice Professionally After Taking This Course?

Absolutely.  If you are already a certified massage, yoga or fitness professional you can practice after taking Level I, providing your insurance provider has a cover for Thai Massage.  If you do not have prior training, you will need to increase your knowledge and training level through further levels of Thai Yoga Massage, Yoga Teacher Training, or Massage Training.  Check out the local governing bodies in your area for training requirements.  In Australia, the professional organizations include IICT, ATMS, MAA, AAMT, and Yoga Australia.
