Blog Course Formats 7.8.25

At Herman & Wallace, we’re committed to making your educational experience as seamless, enriching, and applicable as possible—whether you're attending your first course or your fifteenth. As part of that mission, we offer several course formats and provide comprehensive pre-course resources through Teachable, our learning management system.

We recognize that every learner and every schedule is different. So, whether you're joining us from your home office or stepping into a clinic for a hands-on lab, here's a breakdown of what to expect.


1. Remote Courses (Live-Online)
These courses are delivered in real time over Zoom, allowing you to engage with faculty, ask questions, and participate in group discussions from anywhere with internet access. Ideal for those looking to minimize travel while still enjoying live interaction.

Includes:

  • Pre-recorded lectures via Teachable (to be completed before the live Zoom session)
  • Live labs, case studies, and group interaction via Zoom
  • Real-time Q&A with instructors

2. Satellite-Lab Courses
Satellite courses blend the convenience of a local setting with the rigor of supervised lab instruction. Participants gather in small groups at designated satellite locations where a vetted teaching assistant facilitates the lab experience.

Includes:

  • Live Zoom lectures from an off-site instructor, viewed together on-site
  • Hands-on lab work completed in pairs or trios under the guidance of a teaching assistant
  • Collaborative, small-group setting without requiring instructor travel

This model allows participants to get expert-led instruction and supervised lab training without needing to travel to a central location, making it a great middle-ground format.

3. In-Person Courses
For those who thrive in hands-on, face-to-face environments, our in-person courses are held at host clinics across the country. These offer an immersive learning experience with practical labs and direct faculty mentorship during the course.

Includes:

  • Pre-course content on Teachable (depending on the course)
  • On-site training with small group lab instruction
  • Networking opportunities with peers and instructors

4. Self-Hosted Courses
For experienced therapists looking for maximum flexibility, Self-Hosted Courses allow small groups of licensed participants to learn together independently. This format is available for select intermediate and advanced courses and requires prior completion of foundational lab work with instructor supervision.

Includes:

  • Live lectures via Zoom, viewed by your self-organized group at a location of your choosing
  • Lab work completed without a teaching assistant, but in compliance with all safety and ethical standards
  • Access to Teachable for pre-course content, handouts, and required equipment lists

Important Requirements:

  • All participants must be licensed therapists and registered for the course
  • Lab partners must be fellow licensed participants—no patients or unlicensed individuals
  • Ideal for clinic teams or colleagues with a strong foundation in pelvic rehab

Teachable Pre-Course Access: Set Yourself Up for Success
Once you register for a Herman & Wallace course, you’ll receive access to the Teachable platform, where you'll find essential materials to review before the live or in-person session.

Here’s what’s typically included:

  • Course Agenda & Zoom Links: You’ll find a detailed course schedule, so you know exactly what to expect, as well as Zoom links for remote sessions.
  • Pre-Recorded Lectures: Many courses offer pre-recorded didactic material that must be completed before the live component. This helps maximize hands-on time during your live sessions.
  • Supplemental Readings & Handouts: Downloadable PDFs, journal articles, and anatomical diagrams may be included to reinforce key concepts.
  • Required Equipment Lists: For remote lab-based courses, you’ll see a list of items you'll need for lab participation—like towels, pillows, or therapy tools—so you're fully prepared.
  • Post-Course Content: All courses include and require you to complete a post-course test and evaluation to receive the course certificate.

⏳ When Should You Start Reviewing Teachable Content?
We recommend logging into Teachable and reviewing the course materials at least 2-3 weeks prior to the course date. Some content is required for course participation, especially for remote courses, and you may need time to gather supplies or complete prerequisite videos.

💡 Pro Tips for a Smooth Experience
Bookmark Teachable: Make sure you’re signed up with the correct email and can easily log in.
Download Materials in Advance: Don’t wait until the day of the course—PDFs and lecture slides are often available early.
Check the Agenda Carefully: Some courses span multiple days or include breaks—plan your time accordingly.
