What is expected: |
The Alexandria School of Scientific Therapeutics, Inc. policy on "Student/Client Safety" deems it
necessary to prepare our student massage therapists to respond to any medical emergency and
advisable for our students to be able to respond appropriately to any possible personal threat to
their safety. Our student massage therapists are trained in "Basic Life Support/CPR" and "Basic
Self-Defense for Massage Therapists" instructing the student/massage therapist to be prepared
to defend themselves, if necessary. Basic Life Support/CPR is mandatory for the
student/massage therapist in order to graduate. |
Philosophy: |
At the Alexandria School of Scientific Therapeutics, Inc. we put the student first. We want to know
that the people we train are good reputable people and have the knowledge to be the best they
can be in the field. We are willing to go to the limits to achieve this goal. We perceive our school
as a Resource/Information Center for our graduates as well as our students, and promote
continuing education at a reasonable cost. |
