The educational content, demonstrations, concepts, methodologies, and related services offered by the Company are intended to constitute nonlicensed services.

The Company does not teach, authorize, or represent that its Programs prepare Students to engage in any activity that requires professional licensure. Rather, the educational subject matter and services provided are intended to remain outside the jurisdiction, statutory scope of practice, and regulatory authority governing licensed professions, including, without limitation, massage therapy, nursing, esthetics, cosmetology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, medicine, and any other federally, state, or locally regulated profession.
Programs are not designed to prepare Students for gainful employment. Completion of any Program does not qualify a Student for employment, qualify a Student for state licensure, authorize performance of any regulated procedure, or authorize the practice of medicine, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, esthetics, cosmetology, athletic training, or any regulated profession.
Section 3.4 — Student Responsibility for Legal Compliance
Nothing in the Company’s Programs shall be interpreted as expanding, modifying, replacing, or authorizing any professional scope of practice established by applicable law.
