In order to become IMT certified, you have to fulfill the live workshop requirement. Without the workshop, you can earn the IMT-C Certification. This is awarded once you've completed the required online learning, but it does not include the live workshop. It signifies that you've gained foundational knowledge through online coursework. To achieve full IMT certification, you must complete both the online learning and the live workshop component. The live workshop provides hands-on, practical experience, which is essential for earning the full certification.
