We ask that students submitting complaints include their ideas regarding possible resolution. In addition, program and class evaluation forms are available with some handout materials or from the office. These forms allow students to both acknowledge what they like about our trainers and course material as well as to make suggestions for improvement. Over the years we have made several additions and changes to our curriculum and policies based on this valuable feedback. Students in our 250-hour Massage Practitioner Program can also provide this kind of feedback at midterm and exit interviews with the directors.

REFERRALS, JOB PLACEMENT& PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT

Our graduates’ personal and professional goals involving massage and bodywork is our primary goal. While we cannot guarantee job placement or clientele, we have several ways of supporting students who have taken our programs and classes. Please take responsibility for your status in this database by maintaining communication with us regarding changes of address or phone number, current employment or private practice information and future goals through the administrative office.

Each student in our 250 hour Massage Practitioner Program is scheduled for personal midterm and exit interviews with the school directors. The midterm interview allows for discussion of the student’s personal and professional goals, progress in the program, and any special concerns regarding successful program completion. Data regarding the student’s interest in further programs/classes, nature of their intended private practice, interest in opportunities in chiropractic offices, spas, salons, health care facilities, massage establishments or joint practice with other body workers is entered into our computers for easy reference when these opportunities arise. The director may make suggestions at this time that will help the student clarify his/her goals before graduation. The exit interview provides the student with the opportunity to update this information just before graduation.

Students who have not taken our 250-hour Massage Practitioner Program are welcome to schedule a guidance session with a Director of Academic Programs & Development at any time to discuss their personal, educational professional goals and implementation strategies.

BOOKSTORE, LIBRARY & PRACTICE EQUIPMENT Our bookstore is located in the main administrative office where you can purchase binders with handouts for programs and classes, required and recommended books, massage tools and supplies and a variety of lubricants,

18

analgesics and aromatherapy oils. Students can also order student table and chair packages. A presentation on these packages is given in the second week of our Massage Practitioner Program.

Our library serves as an important resource to students and includes books, reference works, periodicals, anatomical models and videos on every subject included in our curriculum. These materials as well as massage tables and equipment are available to all students from noon to 5:30 p.m., Monday – Thurs.

Educational Facilities & EquipmentKali Institute has two primary classrooms and is equipped with numerous anatomical models and bones, in addition to a library of audio-visual materials. Instructors may also use overhead or LCD projection of training materials to support students’ integration of presented topics. We also have tables, table accessories and exercise equipment which is available for student use by signing for it in the office.

You may be eligible for STRF if you are a CA resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following:

1. The school closed before the course of instruction was completed.2. The school’s failure to pay refunds or charges on behalf of a student to a third party for license fees

or any other purpose, or to provide equipment or materials for which a charge was collected within 180 days or before the closure of the school.

4. There was a material failure to comply with the Act or this Division within 30 days prior to closure, the period determined by the Bureau.

5. An inability after diligent efforts to prosecute, prove, and collect on a judgment against the institution for a violation of the Act.
