Tests are NOT required for Continuing Education Hours (CE Hours). Upon completion of each seminar, proof of attendance will be issued as verification for CE Contact Hours.


All Seminar tests are Take-Home Tests and only required for those who wish to receive a Certificate of Achievement for their studies in the treatment of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction. Tests are required for participation in the AIMS National Certification Program.

 

Tests may be requested at registration or at any time during the seminar series. At the completion of each seminar, a take-home test will be issued with a due date. Tests returned (postmarked) after the due date will be assessed a $30 late fee.


Each test consists of multiple choice and true or false questions based on the material covered. The test for the Lab: Clinical Applications will be an essay exam. The testing fee is $50.00 per test.


A total score of 85% or more is considered passing. Your grade will be mailed to you. If a passing score is not achieved, tests may be re-taken at a cost of $50. To re-take a test, a request must be made within 30 days of the original test’s due date.


Tests for each seminar may only be taken twice within the academic year. If a participant fails on the second attempt, the seminar must be retaken the next time it is offered. Participants will be allowed to progress to the next seminar, pass or fail. Upon successful completion of all tests, a Certificate of Achievement will be issued and qualify you to apply for the Certification Exam.


To be eligible to receive a Certificate of Achievement, all seminars must be successfully completed within no more than two consecutive academic years.

NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAM
