Information about Remediation and Obtaining a Second Diploma
Information about Remediation
Under the Examination Regulation amended in 2004,
you have a total of three attempts to successfully pass
the OSCE or MCQ, or you will be required to return to school
to obtain a new diploma before you can attempt the Certification
Examination again.
The Examination Regulation states:
3(2) In every case where a candidate has failed the examinations
three times after obtaining a diploma from a massage therapy program
acceptable to the Registration Committee, the candidate is not eligible
to apply to take the examinations again without obtaining another diploma
from a massage therapy program acceptable to the Registration Committee. O. Reg. 266/04,
s. 1.
It is highly recommended that you take your time
to prepare before your final attempt.
The Candidate Handbook contains a Content Outline for
both exams that can guide your study. It can be found at
item 2 on the list at
www.cmto.com/regist/regist1.htm
You may also consider contacting the school you received
your diploma from to ask if they have remediation or other study help available.
A final suggestion is to contact a tutor.
The College maintains a list of Massage Therapists who have teaching experience
and who have indicated an interest in tutoring. To access the list, go to
the College’s website at www.cmto.com and click on Downloads from the main menu.
From there select "Refresher/Remediation Tutors". The College only verifies the
credentials of the tutors on the list and cannot make any claims as to the
quality of the tutoring.
Lastly, if you have scheduled another date to take the exam,
but as you approach the exam date you do not feel ready, please
remember that you have the option to cancel or reschedule the exam to
another date. You may incur a financial penalty in accordance with the
payment policies, however, it may be preferable to taking the examination
when you feel that you will not be performing at your best.
Information Regarding Obtaining another Diploma
Under the Examination Regulation enacted in 2004,
you have a total of three attempts to successfully
pass the OSCE or MCQ, or you will be required to return to school
to obtain a new diploma before you can attempt the Certification Examination again.
The Examination Regulation states:
3(2) In every case where a candidate has failed the examinations three
times after obtaining a diploma from a massage therapy program acceptable
to the Registration Committee, the candidate is not eligible to apply to take
the examinations again without obtaining another diploma from a massage therapy
program acceptable to the Registration Committee. O. Reg. 266/04, s. 1.
The College passed a policy which clarifies the Regulation by stating that
that any candidate who failed one or more of the College’s certification
examinations, returned to school and obtained another diploma then reapplied for
examinations, will be treated as a new applicant. These candidates must take and
obtain a successful result on both the multiple choice (MCQ) examination and the
Objectively Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE) examination regardless of their
previous history on the examinations.
If you have failed three times, it is highly recommended
that you return to the massage therapy school you graduated
from to determine how it can assist you.
