"Top notch! Teachers driven to deliver an education."

I was thrilled with my overall Norton School experience - 9 Intense days full of information, hands on experience and exposure to all the elements of lymphedema treatment. I completed the course as a massage therapist in a class majority of physical therapists and it was AWESOME! I learned so much about their field and how we can work together in treatment of patients in need. I never once felt at a disadvantage due to lack of background or experience with the medical model. That being said, I highly recommend any MT out there to DO your homework - make use of the time before class begins to get a VERY firm grasp of the theoretical knowledge and anatomy .. because that is only the beginning. Every aspect of the Norton School curriculum exceeded my expectations of what a focused educational experience should be. I Loved my teachers -- both experts in the field and damn fine human beings. Looking forward to taking the Head and Neck Advanced Class in the future.

"Lymphedema therapy"

Great course! Packed with very useful information and wonderful presentations!

"Great experience"

Overall the course was very informative and by the end I felt prepared to treat lymphedema patients. Mastery of wrapping and MLD sequencing comes with practice, but I did feel prepared to treat patients, especially non-complex diagnosis. The one thing I did not feel confident with was the initial evaluation and examination; the class did not cover this at all really, as our instructor Jeannette said that this varies based on the clinic. Unfortunately, I was returning to a clinic that was restarting its lymphedema program and I would be the only CLT. I felt quite unprepared for the evaluations, and how to initiate treatment and cover the most important educational needs within a one hour evaluation time frame.

"Good, comprehensive"

One thing I would have preferred was to have the MLD training occur in the morning rather than late afternoon . By 4pm my brain was tired and I found learning difficult .
Overall good learning experience

"Great experience! I highly recommend this program."

John Beckwith was a wonderful instructor. He was very professional which made me and the other ladies in the class feel much more at ease. Learning some of the MLD with people you have never met before can be difficult because of the nature of the treatment, but John created a very safe and professional environment. The information was relevant to the practice of CTD and was very well explained. Anyone who takes the time to do their home study will have no problem in the course. I high recommend this program to anyone interested in getting into the field of Lymphedema therapy.

"Excellent!"

Very thorough with lots of hands on practice. Enjoyed the practical experience provided by the instructors.

"Everything I need to start treating clients for lymphadema!"

Taking this course from Norton School was one of the best things I have done with my continued education. The instructors were great, the school was delightful to work with. The course itself was intense and hard but worth every moment!

"One of the most rewarding learning experiences in a lifetime!"

The Norton School's program of CDT is a unique and valuable learning experience. With a combination of self-study, on-line, and classroom modules, I became inspired and educated about Lymphedema and its impact on quality-of-life-issues as well as effective treatment protocol. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in clinical treatment that can change someone's life, provide education to those affected, and provide a rewarding and humanitarian career opportunity.

"Excellent"

I learned so much from the Norton School. I feel better equipped to take care of these special patients, and I also feel prepared for LANA!!

"Certification review"

The manual needs to consistent with the slides. Having 2 instructors is not ideal. Time management could be improved.
