We believe in “Loving to learn and learning to love more.”
All of our innovations are based on this simple philosophy.
How we do what we do:
Innovate.
The way we promote loving and learning is by creating innovative continuing education programs that teach recreational therapists information so they can provide greater levels of compassionate care.
What we do:
We just happen to offer recreational therapist just like you a mix self-study Continuing Education Units (CEU) programs, courses, workshops, and webinars to renew national certification through NCTRC and/ or state license. These courses are convenient and easy-to-use.

What is being an innovator?
Being ahead is not just occupying the space out in front
it’s a way of thinking and acting.
Being ahead means being an innovator, an explorer and an inspirer.
It’s going beyond listening to clients, it’s anticipating their challenges.
And being the most thoughtful and helpful trainer of
recreational therapists that one can be.
Being ahead doesn’t follow, or imitate. It refuses to rest on its laurels –
rather being ahead is restless and eager to prove itself over and over
again.
