LATEST PROGRAMS FOR DOH EXAMS

Asian Wellness and Spa Academy (AWSA) is pleased to announce its three (3)-pronged approach to the DOH Massage Licensure Examinations, as follows: 1) Regular Coursework on Massage Therapy (RCMT); 2) Blended Coursework on Massage Therapy (BCMT); 3) Intensive Spa Coursework on Massage Therapy (ISCMT). The RCMT shall provide instructions within the four -corners of the classroom. The BCMT is designed to answer to the need for students more flexibility in learning due to constraints such as time and distance. Whereas the ISCMT is especially designed for Quezon City residents only. The strategy towards DOH massage exams may vary but its total required time for training on each is the same. Every student must have at least two hundred eighty-six (286) study and training time, both on classroom and home settings. Up for development is the Online Coursework on Massage Therapy (OCMT) aimed at catering to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). The Department of Health, the office that regulates massage practice in the country, employs high training criteria amongst licensure-hopefuls. This is primarily to help protect the public from unscrupulous massage practices, according to Dr Josephine Hipolito of the DOH Committee of Examiners for Massage Therapy.

Mga Haka-Haka at Katotohanan: DOH MASSAGE LICENSURE EXAMS

Haka-haka # 1 Mahirap ang DOH eksamin. Katotohanan: Ang eksamin para sa DOH ay sinadyang gawin para sa mga nasa High School. Katunayan ang ginagamit na Reference Manual ay 177 na pahina lamang. Dagdag pa dito, noong December 2012 eksamin halos 100% ang pumasa sa praktikal na eksamin ng DOH. Katunayan, isang bulag na Grade 5 ang natapos ay naging Topnotcher. Ang pangalan niya ay Francisco Grimpula Jr (nasa larawan), na taga AWSA, isa siya sa mga nagkamit ng Top # 5 sa higit kumulang na 800 na kumuha ng eksamin. Haka-haka # 2 Ang paghahanda para sa eksamin ay nakakaapekto sa trabaho. Katotohanan: Lahat ng DOH accredited training institution ay sumisikap na maisaayos ang schedule ng training para di mahirapan ang mga mag-aaral. Haka-haka #3 Sapat na ang TESDA Certificate bilang katumbas ng DOH Massage License. Katotohanan: Magkaiba ang TESDA National Certification doon sa DOH Certificate of Registration ayon sa Presidential Decree 856 o kilala bilang Code of Sanitation of the Philippines, Chapter XII, Massage Clinics and Sauna Establishments, Section 62, na nagsasaad na lahat ng nagmamasahe ay dapat may Certificate of Registration mula sa Kagawaran ng Kalusugan or Department of Health. Pero hinihikayat ng DOH na lahat ng exams passers ay kumuha din ng kaukulang TESDA NC2 on Swedish massage or Hilot. Haka-haka #4Sobrang mahal ang pangmatrikula (tuition) para sa pagsasanay sa eksamin ng DOH. Katotohanan: Katulad ang karaniwang investments kapag sobrang mura ng puhunan malamang hindi kagalingan ang serbisyo. Sa AWSA katamtaman ang matrikula. Higit sa lahat tinitiyak nito na hindi malulugi ang mag-aaral sa husay ng mga gamit pag-aaral at galing ng pagtututoro. Haka-haka #5Sayang ang matrikula pag hindi nakapasa sa DOH eksamin. Katotohanan: May libreng review ang AWSA sa mga magaaral na nangangailangan ng mas masusi at mas matibay na paghahanda para sa tiyak na pag pasa sa DOH Massage Licensure Examinations.
