Certification Exam

Each Specialist module concludes with a mandatory Examination Prep and Certification Exam (EPCE) at the state-of-art MAT Headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Participants will have the ability to practice on their peers, ask questions, refine their skillset, and get valuable feedback on their abilities in preparation to the certification exam.

The certification exam is an hour long practical skills assessment. Participants will work with a classmate to perform an MAT session on the body segment specific to that module. Participants are required to assess, address, and correct muscular imbalances found on their partner and explain the direction they chose to move forward through the MAT process.
