Information About Distance Learning

Regarding correspondence courses, the CMA policy is that we wholeheartedly support the concept of distance learning and we do include some colleges that offer these courses. The CMA recommends, however that if you are intending to become a practitioner of a discipline that involves ""hands on"" work with clients, i.e. massage, sports injury therapy, reflexology etc. that while correspondence courses are excellent for learning the theory of a complementary medical discipline, if you are to become a CMA registered, professional practitioner you will require ""hands on"" experience while training. While there is no legislation in place in the UK at the moment covering these issues, it is fairly certain that in the not too distant future more concrete standards will be set for all branches of complementary medicine and indeed, the CMA welcomes this wholeheartedly and is actively participating in this process. It is therefore important to ensure your future by enrolling on a course (or courses) that include all you will need in order to work at the very highest professional levels.
