Yes. All ethics courses at Listening Field Training meet Oregon's supervised ethics CE requirement under OAR 334-010-0050. Supervision is fulfilled through a written assignment that Melissa reads and responds to personally — not an auto-graded quiz, not a completion checkbox. Check the CE Hours section of each course page for the specific hour amount and category.

No. The OPMC module is a separate Oregon requirement that must be completed through the OPMC directly. The pain-focused courses here count toward your ethics CE hours but do not replace the OPMC module. If you are an Oregon licensee, you will still need to complete the OPMC requirement independently at least once per renewal period.

Yes. Melissa Haeckel, MA, LMT, LPN is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (#1003059). Most our popular courses are approved under this provider number. NCBTMB-approved courses are accepted by many state licensing boards — see the State CE Acceptance page or contact your board directly to confirm acceptance in your state.

Listening Field Training offers two delivery formats.

Most courses are hosted on Teachable. After enrolling, you log into the Teachable platform and work through text-based lessons, written reflections, discussion board prompts, and quizzes at your own pace. No downloads required — everything lives in the platform.

The Pain-Informed Ethical Practice and Cultural Humility in Pain Care courses work differently. These are workbook courses. After purchase, you receive a PDF workbook delivered directly to your email inbox. The workbook contains everything — all course content, reading, reflection prompts, case vignettes, and your final quiz. There is no platform to log into, no video to watch, no account to create. You work through the modules at your own pace, on paper or on screen, within 30 days of purchase. When you finish, you type your assignment and quiz answers into a document and email them to Melissa. She reads your work, writes back with individualized feedback, and issues your certificate by email within 24–48 business hours. The entire course — from purchase to certificate — happens through your inbox. These are the only courses at Listening Field Training delivered this way.

Every course page states clearly which format applies before you purchase.

All courses at Listening Field Training are supervised. That supervision is real, not automated.

For Teachable courses, supervision happens through written reflections and discussion board participation. Melissa reviews your submissions and responds personally before your certificate is issued.

For the workbook courses, it works like this: after completing the modules, you email your typed written assignment and quiz answers directly to Melissa. She reads what you wrote and writes back. That exchange — a real response from a real instructor — is intentionally designed to align with Oregon’s definition of supervised ethics CE under OAR 334‑010‑0050 for interactive distance learning via email submission. Many Oregon LMTs use this course to support their supervised ethics CE requirements; however, each therapist is responsible for confirming how these hours apply with the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists. If your submission needs revision, Melissa will tell you and you may be asked to resubmit before your certificate is issued. You are not submitting into a void; someone is on the other side.

Listening Field Training courses are structured as supervised, instructor-guided continuing education, not passive self-study. Throughout the class, you engage in required written reflections, peer discussion, and application exercises that are individually reviewed by the instructor, with feedback designed to deepen ethical reasoning and practical skills.

Learning is anchored in a clear syllabus with stated competencies, step-by-step activities, and documented completion of each module. You are not just watching content; you are expected to think, write, respond, and integrate ethical concepts into real-world practice, with the instructor actively present in the learning process.

Because of this design, the course aligns with how many state boards define supervised interactive distance learning: real educational contact with an instructor, structured assignments, and verifiable participation rather than simple click-through CE. Licensed massage therapists regularly use this course to support their supervised ethics CE requirements; however, each licensee is responsible for confirming how these hours apply with their own licensing board.

No. All courses are self-paced and completed on your own schedule. There are no live sessions, Zoom calls, scheduled meeting times, or in-person requirements. Teachable courses are accessed through the platform. Workbook courses are completed via PDF and submitted by email.

After purchase, Teachable automatically sends you two confirmation emails. Go to listening-field-training.teachable.com/sign_in, enter the email address you used at checkout, and Teachable will send you a one-time login code. No password required. The email you use to log in must exactly match the email used at checkout.

Listening Field Training is not able to assist with Teachable account issues, login code delivery, or device and browser troubleshooting — those go through Teachable support directly.

For Teachable courses, you have 30 days from purchase to begin, and 5 days from first module access to complete all required coursework. One extension of up to 3 days may be granted if you request it before your completion window closes. If the window expires without completion, re-enrollment is required.

For the workbook courses, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to complete the modules, submit your assignment and quiz, and receive your certificate. After 30 days, instructor feedback and certificate issuance are not guaranteed.

Yes. You must enroll using your full legal name — the name that appears on your massage therapy license. Accounts created with initials, a business name, or an email-only display name may be flagged or delayed until identity is verified. Your legal name must be confirmed before a certificate can be issued.

Yes. For Teachable courses, your certificate is issued after Melissa reviews your participation and confirms all required coursework is complete — typically within 24–48 business hours, excluding weekends and holidays. For the workbook courses, your certificate arrives by email within 24–48 business hours after Melissa reviews your assignment and confirms your quiz score. Keep your certificate with your CE records. Oregon requires CE documentation for five years.

Three courses currently hold confirmed NCBTMB approval: The Listening Field: Ethics, Boundaries & Professional Presence (CE4026715), Across Difference: Cultural Competency for Massage Therapists (CE4026716), and Creating Safe Therapeutic Spaces: Ethics, Boundaries & Cultural Awareness for Massage Therapists (CE4026717).

Submission Requirements

To receive instructor feedback and your certificate, all workbook courses follow these submission rules:

• All assignment responses, reflections, and quiz answers must be typed in a single Word document or PDF. Handwritten, photographed, or scanned pages are not accepted.

• Include your full legal name, massage therapy license number, and state of licensure at the top of your document.

• Use the required subject line for your specific course when you email your materials (for example, “Pain Ethics – Supervised Assignment – [Your Full Name]” or “Cultural Humility – Module 5 – [Your Full Name]”).

• Send your completed document in one email to info@listeningfieldtraining.com.

Submissions that do not follow these requirements may be returned for correction before review, which can delay feedback and certificate issuance.

Email and Resend Policy

Listening Field Training receives a high volume of email. To keep feedback timely and fair:

• Please submit your completed materials in a single email when you are ready.

• If your initial submission does not meet the requirements, you may send one corrected resend when requested.

• Multiple duplicate submissions or repeated resends for the same assignment will not receive additional responses and may delay review.

If you are unsure whether your submission meets these requirements, email your question before sending your materials, rather than sending multiple partial or duplicate submissions.

80% for all courses. For the workbook courses: Pain-Informed Ethical Practice requires 16 out of 20. Cultural Humility in Pain Care requires 4 out of 5. If you do not pass on the first attempt, Melissa will reach out with retake instructions.

All sales are final once course access has been delivered. For Teachable courses, no refunds are issued after access has been granted — this includes technical issues with your device or internet, difficulty navigating Teachable, misunderstanding of course format, or failure to verify state acceptance before enrolling. For the workbook courses, refunds are not available once the PDF has been sent, as it is a digital product delivered immediately upon purchase.

If you have questions about whether a course is right for you before purchasing, email info@listeningfieldtraining.com. Melissa is happy to help you figure that out before you commit.
