EDUCATOR BENEFITS
DETAILS:
· SWA BOARD CERTIFIES YOUR COURSES
Each education process must meet or exceed the strict criteria established by Stone Walkers Association board of directors. When your course offerings are ‘certified’ by SWA you join a very small and select group of members who are offering the highest quality education available.
SWA will constantly reach towards public awareness so the client base is requesting SWA Board Certified professional Geothermal Therapists. Your courses will be highlighted in a variety of advertising campaigns to promote the professionalism you offer.
· SWA PROVIDER NUMBER
A provider number that is acknowledged worldwide as the only one specific to Geothermal Therapy allows SWA to speak in support of your professional education process. This unique provider number will state to the world that your education process meets or exceeds all safety protocol within specific temperature ranges, hygiene recommendations, acknowledges contraindications and is following a strict code of ethics.
As an approved provider it is recognized that your course graduates will have received all necessary training to meet SWA membership criteria.
As an SWA Certified Educator and CEU Provider you will receive a 'registration code'. This number will allow your students access to Charter Membership enrollment. You will receive a commission on each student who enrolls with your 'registration code'. The larger our membership the more funds are available for advertising and publicity which we can focus on your business. Through publicity and advertising many massage therapists who have been educated (or not) in stone therapies will be asking to join this association. When an individual seeks admittance without the use of a 'registration code' they are given an entrance exam. This test will allow us to see if they have adequate knowledge of temperature, contraindications, hygiene and other specific information about Geothermal Therapy. They will need to submit proof of their education background and any legal documentation required in their region for the practice of Geothermal Therapy. If they do not pass the entrance exam they will be sent to your educational organization to enhance their knowledge base. · REACH AN ACTIVE STUDENT DATA BASE
Due to SWA's public out reach, massage clients seeking well trained therapists will be searching for your SWA Provider number on the walls of every spa and retreat center they visit.
Magazines and other print media that currently reach the massage students of the world will be targeted with articles of interest about your education process in combination with paid advertising, directing students to your courses.
When a graduate of your course(s) becomes a member of SWA they will receive a letter of acceptance with their certificate. This is news worthy! They will be assisted by our staff to have it published in their local media. This little press release will help them gather clients but it will also have a gift in it for you! Your education system will be recognized and mentioned in the article as an SWA BOARD CERTIFIED professional Geothermal Therapy continuing education course! This free publicity will support both you and your graduate and entice other prospective students to contact you for education.
· PROFESSIONAL VALIDATION
By acknowledging your professionalism SWA can promote your efforts from a new perspective. When this association is recommending your education system we are speaking from a perspective of authority. We have no vested interest in the profits of your company and have only the learning out comes and professionalism of the student to consider. When we speak from this point of view it is easier for the student to hear the need for high quality education.
As an independent board SWA can offer the public the full picture. SWA will be able to uncover some misconceptions about various forms of stone work on the market. If a particular method is proven unsafe or ineffective SWA can offer a public service by warning the client to avoid this form of stone treatment and help them seek your professional offerings instead.
· MEDIA EXPOSURE
As an association with public interests we are eligible for a variety of promotional items not available to the regular business community. Interviews in the print media on public television and radio will be available to SWA, where we can promote your Board Certified Education processes. We will have opportunities to make public announcements on your behalf as a part of the recognition process in our awards department.
· WEB ACCESS TO QUALITY RESOURCES
Finding quality vendors of superior product will insure your students have the opportunity to move into professional Geothermal Therapy practice with complete confidence. Many education processes have found it necessary to develop their own supply companies in order to have quality products for their students. This has been a huge support for the industry.
Every member receives a one year, fully paid subscription to the Simpliflex System. This amazing business tool helps you reach the student with a level of professionalism not available through other massage associations. The on-line appointment scheduling and a calendar of events for your course offerings can be accessed through the internet, text messages and phone lines in a way that will enhance your professionalism and make your company stand out as a leader in the industry.
The association will be your first sales tool. We will help the student see the need for high quality and lead them to purchase from your organization. Links to your sites will support this effort.
