What is the refund and cancellation policy for CE courses?
- A full refund for tuition will be issued only if you notify the Bodyworks DW Continuing Education Department at least 14 business days prior to the start of class. You can email education@bodyworksdw.com to request a refund.
- While we make every effort to provide quality classes and instructors, we cannot guarantee satisfaction with every class offered. No Refunds will be made for classes already taken. We do, however, invite your honest appraisal of our classes and teachers; an evaluation form is handed out at the end of every class for this purpose, or you can fill out an online evaluation.
- If you can’t attend class and notify us within 7 days prior to the start of the class, we will issue your refund as credit towards taking a future CEU class. Any cancellations that occur with less than 7 days notice will not be eligible for either a refund or credit.
- In cases of sudden illness that prevents you from canceling with sufficient notice, an account credit will be issued for use towards a future course at our studio.
Where can I find course materials, instructions, video demos, etc?
- All course materials will be available in the online course pages on our website (see below for a how to video on our online course pages).
- You can access the course through your student profile using the username and password you created when registering for the course.

- Watch this video for a quick and easy walk through of our online course pages that we use to give instructions, course materials, video demo, and certificates for all of our live, webinar, and at-home courses!
Why don’t I see my live classroom course on my student profile page?
- We are currently in the process of switching into our new online course system for our live courses, and it is taking us a bit of time to add our 2024 courses. If you received an email confirmation of purchase of the course you are definitely enrolled! We will be adding courses over the next several weeks and all 2024 courses should be converted to the new online course materials format by the end of January 2024. Any courses that are scheduled during the first quarter of 2024 will be added to the new system by the end of Dec 2023.
What happens if I’m late to class?
- In order to receive CE credit you must attend the entire duration of the class. Students who are late can still be admitted to the class, but won’t be included in the roster sent to the NCBTMB for credit.
What do I need to bring to class?
- Please bring your preferred way to take notes (pen/paper, tablet, etc), Bodyworks DW will provide all other supplies including massage tables, oil, and linens. Our online courses also include a way to take notes digitally if you prefer keeping all the materials in one place!
- All live classes include hands-on practice time so bring or wear clothes that are appropriate to work in.
How is the day structured?
- For specific information about each course see the individual course descriptions in the online course pages.
- In general, classes begin at 11am, have an hour break for lunch at 2pm, and end at 6pm
- In general, the first day of a 2-day course is used to go over the slides, take notes, and work on assessment skills. Day 2 is typically more focused on hands-on practical work. Some courses do have hands-on practical work on Day 1, see individual course descriptions for more detailed information.
- In general, 1-day courses are a mix of slides, note taking, and practical work.
What is the NCBTMB?
- David Weintraub is sponsored and approved to teach continuing education in New York state by the NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork).
- NCBTMB courses provide continuing education credits for most states in the U.S. If you are licensed in a state outside of New York, please check your own licensure requirements for continuing education to confirm that your state accepts NCBTMB approved courses for credit.
How and when will I receive my certificate?
- Please watch the training video above on our student profile and online course pages to see how easy it is to get your certificates! Once all lessons and steps are marked complete in the online course and it shows that you have completed 100% of the course, you’ll see a new link on the course page that allows you to download your certificate.
