# Who can take the SFMA courses?

Although we encourage all professionals to learn the SFMA Level 1, the certification is reserved for allied healthcare professionals. To become SFMA Level 1 Certified, you must be medically licensed to assess, diagnosis, and manually treat the musculoskeletal conditions.
