Accreditation Training Workshop

If you are ready to start the accreditation process, this is the workshop you need to attend. The Accreditation Training Workshop is now a one-day experientially based workshop, with some pre-workshop preparation required.  In addition, On-site Evaluator training now is an integral part of the workshop.  This reflects COMTA's belief that being an On-site Evaluator is of great value to anyone in the accreditation process.  The workshop looks at all aspects of the COMTA accreditation process, especially addressing policies, procedures and Standards

Free On-Site Evaluator Training

On-site Evaluator training now is embedded in the Accreditation Training Workshop; you register for the Accreditation Training Workshop in the On-site Evaluator Training category. (See description above) This workshop provides initial training for persons interested in serving as members of the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation (COMTA) on-site review teams. On-site reviewers are the eyes and ears of an accreditation commission, helping to confirm whether a school's self-study report documents the way that school meets the criteria related to compliance with each of the accreditation Standards. On-site reviewers help to improve the schools they visit, and, over time, the quality of professional practice. Participants will review COMTA Standards and policies, learn about the activities on-site teams perform and work with examples of the issues reviewers face in seeking to verify that Standards are met.  Participation in On-site Evaluator Training is free of charge.  It is necessary to complete an application (available through COMTA (847) 869-5039, ext. 13) prior to attending the workshop.  Some pre-workshop preparation will be required.
 
All current on-site reviewers are welcome to refresh their memories or to deepen their understanding of the Standards.
