Become a Vestibular Specialist Online in 14 weeks
CCVR 2.0 Course is a 39-hour evidence-based vestibular competency course. Enrollment is now open for January and August 2023!
The Certificate of Competency in Vestibular Rehabilitation (CCVR) 2.0 Course is designed to build your understanding and know-how through practical application of the methodologies in vestibular rehabilitation – the same methodologies we use to assess and treat the vestibular population.
The CCVR 2.0 Course provides you a convenient and flexible path to advanced training in vestibular rehabilitation through online coursework & live (or virtual) lab. Follow along with our guided lesson plan (more details below) or progress through the materials at your own pace. This course was created by healthcare professionals so we recognize that your time is extremely valuable and we’ve designed the curriculum to allow you to participate on your time, when you have time. Upon completion of the online coursework, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate required clinical skills in the live (or virtual) lab.
With this training, you are more consistently applying your working vocabulary and fundamental concepts into your practice. You begin to delve more deeply and confidently into your skillset. This is the level where your skills more closely match your experience and you’re ready to take an even deeper dive into cases that are best understood through a comprehensive understanding of vestibular-related anatomy and physiology, the advantages/disadvantages of vestibular-related diagnostics, and the uncertainties associated with more complex cases.
