Course Appraisal and Accreditation
For Reiki practitioner and CPD coursesShow that your course meets the standard
Whether you are developing your first Reiki practitioner course or have been teaching for many years, the UK Reiki Federation can help you demonstrate that your training meets recognised professional standards.
Our course accreditation process provides an independent review of your practitioner training or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course against the relevant National Occupational Standards and the Core Curriculum for Reiki.
Accredited courses are included in our Directory of Accredited Courses, giving prospective students confidence that your training has been assessed against recognised benchmarks.
