Anyone can attend our courses (from students to medical professionals)! It is recommended that you practice within your scope. If unsure, please reach out to your governing board for assistance. 

Unfortunately not. Our FMT BASIC kinesiology taping certification lays the foundation for understanding FMT’s approach to kinesiology taping and outlines many of the differences in taping applications vs other courses. There will be new things to learn and other taping applications to ‘unlearn’ before moving onto FMT ADVANCED. For this reason, we require you to take the FMT BASIC course before moving onto the FMT ADVANCED course.    

As long as you do.

Depending on class size, state regulations and focus, CEUs may be offered for our courses. Please see the CEU details for specific classes which can be found under any course listing on www.fmtplus.com.
