Introducing The Evolution Of MAT Education
A Message From Greg Roskopf
A Note To Our Top Leaders & Educators
We want you, as our top leaders and educators, to be the first to know how our education is transitioning. Your commitment to our education over the years has not gone unnoticed and we want to provide you with new opportunities because of your knowledge, expertise, and experience.
We are excited to share the details of our transition. As you review the content below, we would love your feedback on how you would like to participate in our education moving forward. We will have in-house and online opportunities and while each of you may have different workloads, we want to make sure we find a way for you to be part of the process that works within your individual lifestyles.
Changes To Current MAT Education
Paving The Way As The New Industry Standard In Neuromuscular Health
In our time partnering with Broadview College, we have expanded our abilities to reach professionals in a way that we had not yet been able to achieve in our in-house programs. We were able to show that learning MAT through an online format is possible, and this discovery has enabled us to think more openly on how to deliver our content on a worldwide scale.
As we continued to explore the possibilities within the higher education space, we realized that our material provides unique opportunities to industry professionals looking to add to their existing profession. Therefore, MAT education has evolved beyond our partnership with BVC and will focus primarily on professional development within the health and wellness industry as a whole.
You will see below that we are breaking down the Specialist Certification content into individual body part courses in order to provide more opportunities for participants to receive CEC credits in their associated fields.
This additional breakdown of content provides more opportunities from a professional development training aspect for the new to MAT participant to understand how MAT can be part of their current profession and make a profound impact. Our previous layout of content that led to certification continued to be denied as CECs for other organizations due to too much content and the fact that it was a certification.
This model of learning is professional development education. It is designed for working industry professionals to follow their interests with convenient learning options and resources.
We recognize that some members may be in the MAT community platform to simply be informed on the theory and science behind our unique approach to understanding the muscular system, while others will come to take a series of techniques courses which lead towards certification of skills.
MAT Headquarters will continue to offer practical workshops and conferences to support the perfection of the practical MAT skill set and provide networking opportunities to practitioners using MAT. Full Body Certification Workshops and Exams will be held in person at the headquarters.
