Education and Training
Quality, professionalism and best practice for ReikiRaising standards since 1999
Since 1999 we have worked extensively to promote Reiki and best practice for practitioners. UK Reiki Federation representatives have been continuously involved, over many years, with the groups working on revised standards for the training of professional practitioners.
One of our aims in promoting good practice is to improve the acceptance of Reiki as a viable tool to be used within the NHS.
Following consultation in 2007 and 2008, the National Occupational Standards for Complementary and Natural Healthcare were revised, and the approved standards were published in 2009. Full details are available through Skills for Health, and you can read more on our National Occupational Standards page.
Our Education Team
The Education Team of the UK Reiki Federation is made up of individuals who are not only qualified Reiki Teachers. The majority also hold formal Teacher Qualifications, Assessor Qualifications, or both.
Standards, training and accreditation
National Occupational Standards (NOS)
These are statements of competence and are written to measure outcomes. National Occupational Standards describe good practice.
Reiki Core Curriculum
The Core Curriculum for Reiki (published by the CNHC, current version November 2023) provides a structured framework for developing courses. For Reiki courses to receive accreditation from us they must reflect both the National Occupational Standards and the Reiki Core Curriculum.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is the process of tracking and logging the skills, knowledge and experience that practitioners gain, formally and informally, during their working life. It forms a record of what you learn, experience and then apply.
Reiki lineages and tracing service
If you are unsure about your Reiki lineage, we offer a service that helps to trace it. You will receive £10.00 off your membership fee if you use this service and become a member.
Course appraisal and accreditation
Reiki teachers can have their own practitioner or teacher courses reviewed and assessed by the UK Reiki Federation for inclusion in our Directory of Accredited Reiki Courses.
Directory of Accredited Reiki Courses
Our Reiki Near Me online directory of Reiki practitioners, teachers and accredited Reiki courses gives you a range of options for receiving Reiki and for training.
