Reiki course accreditation
The Reiki Connection offers Reiki Professional Practitioner and Reiki Course verification in line with the CNHC and Reiki Council verification process.
Reiki Professional Practitioner Course verification is a new form of accreditation with courses following the Core Curriculum for the teaching of Reiki, being based on the agreed National Occupational Standards for Reiki
All Reiki Council Member Organisations offering Reiki Course Verification use procedures and paperwork based on the NOS for Reiki and Reiki Core Curriculum.
THERE IS A BASIC SET CRITERIA FOR ANYONE WISHING TO APPLY FOR COURSE VERIFICATION
* To be an experienced Reiki Master Teacher of a minimum 2 years standing
* To be a RC/CNHC Verified Professional Practitioner
* To have a relevant ‘adult’ teaching qualification
TRC basic charge for course verification is £175 for non members or £125 for it’s members. This cost is for the verification of the course, which can then be listed on the Reiki Council and CNHC website. This does not include the verification fee for each student as each student is required to complete the Reiki Council Questionnaire independently, and undergo an independent observed treatment session. It is down to the course provider to decide if they wish to cover this charge for each student, or for the student to be charged directly. There is a charge for a listing on the Reiki Council website………
