| Due to overwhelming student demand we have changed our traditional two
week certification course format to the New Accelerated Hybrid Online Program
(AHOP), which requires only 7 working days to complete.
This program is a comprehensive certification course (135 hours) and
is taught in 11 days, including 2 weekends.
The Accelerated Hybrid Online Program (AHOP) allows students to become fully
certified in Complete Decongestive Therapy using a dynamic combination of Home
Study/Online lessons and student-centered classroom sessions.

Why choose the ACCELERATED HYBRID ONLINE PROGRAM?
The Academy of Lymphatic Studies pioneered research-based Lymphedema training
in the United States in the early 90’s using our traditional program that
required students to spend two full weeks in off-site, classroom training. It
only makes sense that the Academy would pioneer a more dynamic, accelerated
course format that is both student friendly and employer friendly. Advantages
include:
• |
Efficiency - Less time out of work. Our New ACCELERATED
HYBRID ONLINE PROGRAM format only requires a therapist to be out of the
office for 7 working days, versus 10 in our traditional program. |
| • |
Cost Savings – Often times travel expenses can
equal or exceed the cost of tuition for a lymphedema program. Less time
off-site means less money spent on travel related expenses. |
• |
Quality – The Academy of Lymphatic
Studies has a reputation for providing students with the highest quality
Lymphedema training. Our new Accelerated Hybrid Online Program format enhances
the quality of our curriculum. The Academy has meticulously blended the
optimal mix of online and classroom hours to provide our students with unparalleled
quality of instruction. |
• |
Family - Therapists spend less time in off-site training
and more time with their families. • Vacation - Employers often require
therapists to expend vacation time in order to attend training. Less time
away means more time saved for much needed vacations. |
• |
Flexibility – Students prepare for the theoretical
portion of the program using our Home Study/Online Portal. The student will
choose which method of delivery they prefer. In addition, the Academy now
offers more classes in more locations than any other lymphedema program,
allowing the student to choose which location best serves their needs. In
2009, students can choose from 26 different classes in 11 different cities. |
