Teletraining Testimonials
The ILWTI Teletraining course was so interactive and involved, I felt like I was in the classroom. The extended time frame for the tele-training course allowed me to really absorb and integrate the information. I feel confident now that I have the knowledge & critical skills to assess and treat wounds & edema with current best practices. I definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to add lymphedema & woundcare to their practice (like myself) or to bring skills & knowledge up to date.

I was very hesitant when I initially decided to take on this journey via Teletraining. However, with the current pandemic, it was my best bet. This is my first certification done via Teletraining and it was worth it. The past 3 months have been a real eye-opener. The skills I have learnt are top-notch. I look forward to practicing my new skills and providing these services to my patients.
— Tarah Silvera, PT
The number one thing I worried about with this class was the “virtual” aspect. I was worried about application skills and understanding the whole process. She has completely erased that worry for me. She doesn’t just read from slides, she provides extra to the conversation. She is able to paint a picture using her experience and own education that I have found to be very beneficial for the way that I learn. I wish more people were able to teach the way that she does! This program has been absolutely amazing and I will be taking more of your classes! I am looking forward to taking the business model class for starting a clinic or program. This CLWT class has opened my mind to so many different and new possibilities. Thank you for the work that you and your team put in day in and day out. It definitely does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Sincerely,
— David “Tyler” Dillon, PT, DPT
This teletraining course totally exceeded all my expectations. ILWTI provided a comprehensive course on Lymphedema and Compression with current research, best practice and product review. The case studies and presentations assisted me in understanding the information within the course. I feel confident with the skills I have learnt to be able to provide quality care to my patients. I absolutely enjoyed the classes and it has certainly expanded my knowledge base. Thanks ILWTI

This course has provided me with the knowledge and tools to be successful as I return to my facility to provide treatment to my residents who suffer from lymphedema. The instructors are an amazing source of knowledge in the field and have so much to offer during the class and beyond. I am so happy I took this course in this format so that I had more time to really soak in all the information and be ready to put it into practice upon completion.
— Becky Lesko, OT
I have already submitted my course review for the MLD course, however I wanted to send you an email, directly, to let you know how amazing Marijke has been as a teacher. If she has been nothing short of amazing, then she has been so outstanding that she could not be praised any higher! She is easily the best teacher/professor I have ever been taught by. If my professors in PT school would have been able to teach like she does, it would have been a much better experience for me.
