Wish I could help you more, but my state (Oregon) does not require renewal of NCBTMB. They do, however, require CE credits, and I am certain that old medicine hospital certificates are accepted. I hope this helps some?

If you study with pichest, your softened banana tree will be your certificate

hehehehehehe

I am currently Attending the ITM CAPT program and from what I understand they break it up into seperate units, so If Just wanted to do one level that would be fine. The price per Level I am not sure though it is more expesive then many of the none certified courses I have seen around here. THe level of instruction... Well I am being challanged here because It feel mechanical, they go through alot of the series of movemnt with no sensitivity exersices or really much information beyond the sequence. They are offering alot fo information, but it is very conservative and rigid, also there are many people with out any bodywork experience, even that of personal body awareness which I find dangerous espacially with out detailed explanation of body mechanics and whats going on in some of the stretches..

Hope thats of some help
