Frequently asked questions
Is this course accredited?
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: There is a wide range of holistic and complementary therapy modalities which do not fit into the Government Training Frameworks in most countries. These include Yoga, Holistic Counselling, Meditation and Holistic Arts Therapies.
- These modalities are industry regulated instead of government regulated. In order to practice as a therapist under these modalities you need industry recognition and to be able to get professional indemnity and liability insurance.
- Industry-based Associations are not owned the same way as a training College or University. Their purpose is to protect the end-user and maintain the integrity of holistic and complementary therapies. They accept members from a very wide variety of different therapeutic modalities. They are not concerned with the specific styles, techniques, traditions or lineages. They are concerned with the quality, educational content, course outcomes, scope of information, where that information originated and the integrity of the course provider. They have a rigorous process which course providers must adhere to before they provide accreditation for any training courses.
- Our course is recognised with the International Institute of Complementary Therapists, the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, the Complementary Medical Association and the International Association of Therapists. All have excellent global reputations and rigorous screening processes. We are very proud to have their stamps of approval. Our graduates can join the IICT and the CMA, and get professional practitioner insurance, in 27 countries around the world. Mind Body Education courses are all evidence-based and incorporate a wide variety of techniques and styles.
