Who this programme is for
The programme welcomes adults seeking personal growth, a structured route into facilitation or a broader framework for an existing specialty. Prior experience in art, yoga or sound-based practices can enrich learning, but does not by itself establish competence in integrated facilitation.
Learners participate in experiential exercises, paired and group practice, written reflection and feedback. You may pause an exercise or decline personal disclosure; learning can continue through observation, a teaching case or an agreed alternative.

How you learn
- 01
Understand
Concepts, purposes and role boundaries.
- 02
Observe
Demonstrations and discussion of decisions.
- 03
Rehearse
Paired practice and complete simulations.
- 04
Revise
Use specific feedback to improve the next attempt.
Handbooks, practice cards and guiding resources support learning. Materials are selected for a learning purpose, not presented as substitutes for observation, communication or professional judgment.
What you will be able to demonstrate
- Explain a supportive role and agree a clear purpose and scope.
- Use EPMC to organize observations and check interpretations.
- Select suitable methods and explain their purpose and limits.
- Plan and facilitate individual and group processes with coherent transitions.
- Respond to feedback, recognize limitations and seek appropriate support.
- Keep proportionate records and turn reflection into concrete improvements.
Practitioner certification recognizes the competencies demonstrated through comprehensive assessment. Continuing practice and feedback remain important when taking on new audiences, themes or responsibilities.
Prepare through online learning
The online course Healing Practitioner Foundations & Advanced Practice offers a systematic introduction and resources for review. It is recommended preparation, not a compulsory prerequisite; learners may apply directly for the in-person programme.
Explore the recommended courseEntry and prior learning
The standard route is sequential study through all three levels. Applicants with relevant prior learning may request a placement review using course records, practical work and an interview or demonstration. Entry to a later class is a learning placement decision, not automatic certification credit.
For final certification, all three stages must be evidenced through completed learning or a documented equivalence review. Missing outcomes are addressed through specified learning and assessment. Equivalent learning is recorded accurately rather than issuing a false attendance record.
Completion and integrated assessment
Stage completion requires participation in the essential learning activities and submission of the stage outcomes. Missed essential practice is completed through a make-up arrangement. Certification requires a separate satisfactory assessment across knowledge, plans, simulations and reflection.
Assessment criteria and review processCommon questions
Do I have to become a professional practitioner?
No. Personal growth and caring relationships are valid learning goals. Certification and instructor development are separate choices.
How many learning hours are included?
The programme spans nine in-person days. One learning hour is 60 minutes of learning activity; the published timetable determines the total and excludes lunch and breaks.
Can I teach after certification?
Practitioner certification does not authorize curriculum teaching. A separate instructor-development and supervised-teaching process is required.
