Hosting An MET Course

Hosting an MET course of your very own can be a big advantage in several ways and it’s easier than you think.

With continuing education requirements now for most states, the cost of sending a single participant to a course can cost upwards of $1200.00 for a weekend course. That can eat up your CEU money in no time flat.

But, when you sponsor a course at your facility, you can actually make a few thousand dollars as well as save thousands on your CEU expenditures.

• If you have staff of 20 or so, then you are all set. And the cost per therapist goes way down to around $250.00, compared to $1200.00.

• If you have less than 20, you can advertise to other hospitals/clinics in your area and charge full price to the outside therapists, while your own staff gets to come for a fraction of the full price. Either way, you save.

• Lastly, depending on how you set your prices and how many students sign up, you may earn anywhere from $2000-$3000 for your clinic.

HOSTING SITE REQUIREMENTS:

• Location for the course sufficient to accommodate up to 20 students, with 2 per table.

• Treatment tables/massage tables, or tables with pads, with 2 per table.

• Coffee and/or snacks are always a nice touch, but not required.

• A screen or white wall to show the slides.

• If you have a 35 mm carousel slide projector, it would be very helpful.

• You market or promote course.

• You are responsible for registering and collecting payments.

• You pay the cost of the manuals, at around $11 each.

ON MY END:

• I present M1 or M2 Muscle Energy Techniques seminars for up to 22 participants.

• I bring the slides and the projector, if you do not have one.

• I assist with advertising by: DESIGNING A CUSTOM BROCHURE WITH YOUR COMPANY’S INFORMATION (See sample brochures)

• I provide the course evaluation sheets.

• I assist you in the CEU approval process, if applicable.

• If you wish to have more than 22 students, I will bring an assistant (if available) at additional cost.

Any way you slice it, this is a cost effective way to satisfy CEU requirements for the company.

A money maker if you wanted to purchase another piece of equipment:

If you set the charge at $400.00 per student and you book 20 students, that is $8000.00. Take out the expenses as mentioned above, and you make a nice profit for your clinic - usually $2000-$3000. BETTER THAN HAVING A BAKE SALE!

A monumental leap for your staff’s reputation:

As your staff becomes proficient with the techniques, your company gains the reputation as the “go to” therapists for difficult patients and superior outcomes. Your referrals grow by leaps and bounds.
