Inquiry:


Hi again:)
I am having trouble getting a group class, my clients want to do the class privately because so many people in our area have Covid again.  Is it possible to do 3 privates instead? Or could I do a 4th private to make up the difference.  I did 2 classes this week and have 2 more scheduled for next week.  I am LOVING teaching this class, it is set up beautifully! My goal is to offer group classes eventually as I like that learning dynamic!

Answer:

In the past it was that it needed to be at least one group class. But when covid hit we changed it to allow for 3 one on one classes or group. I think we can continue to encourage SpBCPE to offer group classes, but for the time being we continue to allow it to be 3 one on one or a combination of one on one or group.


Angelica's input:

@michelle @jenniferwalker my thoughts are they need to have the group class for certification purposes so they are understanding how to adjust and meet the different areas that are involved with group vs private classes. Materials, time management, safety/organizing the flow with the Three Balances is very different when you have more than one person on a massage table at a time. The period after completing the training (2 years to certify) is a great way to kindly suggest we allow this time to conflicts that can present during your provisional status. The only problem is I'm going through all of the material: Main Website under professionals, CPE manual, and community site modules...the way it presents in these areas is that it can be a one on one OR group. Should this be updated that at least one group class is needed to certify or all one on ones for evaluation are ok?
