(Which is what I plan on doing soon so I can at least start learning) Aside from that, I know that physiologists have some experience/knowledge if they work in a seating clinic. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've e-mailed a few people from the manufacturing department for Tilite and the one said there was apparently one course but I have yet to find it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know there's one opportunity at my hometown to repair mobility aids under the supervision of a person who's been fixing them for over 20 years, but that's all I've found.&lt;/p&gt;
