After completing and passing post-course tests for MET 1 and MET 2, candidates may participate in the certification exam.
MET 1 and MET 2 Exams
MET 1 and MET 2 exams consist of a theoretical portion and a practical portion. On completion of your exam, you will receive an exam completion certificate and the grade of your exam.
THEORETICAL EXAM FORMAT – MET 1 AND MET 2
Each exam consist of 30 multiple choice questions
Questions are presented randomly
Each correct answers earn 2 points with a total of 60 points
There is no penalty for omitted questions or questions answered incorrectly
The scope of the exam relates to the content of each course. Level II exams may have questions pertaining to level I course material.
Each exam has a time limit of 90 minutes
You may retake each exam 2 times on written request
PRACTICAL EXAM FORMAT – MET 1 AND MET 2
An oral practicum is conducted at the completion of each course
The oral practicum is conducted in a small group format and usually takes 90 to 120 minutes
Grading is a pass / fail with a total of 40 points
Participants are scored on participation level and clinical reasoning skills pertaining to the presented course content
SAMPLE QUESTIONS:
A Clinical Fatigue Test is considered “invalid” when the test is stopped due to:
a. An increased movement speed
b. A decreased movement speed
c. A change in movement pattern due to local muscular fatigue
d. An increased pain level
You have performed a manual therapy technique to improve right shoulder flexion. You follow up with a mobilization exercise supine for shoulder flexion using internal force to create the movement and an arthro-kinematic set-up. The result of your Clinical Fatigue Test (CFT) is 50 repetitions with 2.0 kg. The appropriate initial dose for this exercise is:
a. 40 reps; 1.8 kg; 3 sets; 30-45 sec rest
b. 40 reps; 2.0 kg; 3 sets; 30-45 sec rest
c. 50 reps; 1.8 kg; 3 sets; 30-45 sec rest
d. 50 reps; 2.0 kg; 3 sets; 30-45 sec rest
After completing and passing post-course tests for Level 1: Fundamentals and Level 2: Upper Quadrant, Lower Quadrant and Spine courses, candidates may participate in the Level III certification exam.

Certification exam consist of three parts:
Part 1: Submission of 1 Case Study
Case study need to be submitted at least 3 months prior to sitting for the certification exam.
Each case study should be a detailed description of the management of a clinical case and include:
a. Background
c. Outcomes
d. Discussion
Special attention is given to the rationale for exercise selection, design, dosing and progression (therapeutic exercise format).
Case studies need to be presented in the “Full" Traditional Case Report format
Each case study will require a passing grade of 80%.
Case studies will be graded using the following rubric:
Case studies with a grade below 80% will be returned once with recommendations for improvement. The candidate can re-submit the case study at least 1 month prior to the certification exam date.
Part 2: Theoretical Exam
Will be conducted on site (no study materials allowed)
