The Institute for Meridian Psychotherapy

and Associated Complementary Therapies

TRAINING

BASIC CONSIDERATIONS

A listing in the Institute’s practitioner register requires that the registrant comply with the training standards as prescribed from time to time by the Institute.

Registration on the Institute’s practitioner register can only be achieved either by:

(a) studying the Institute’s own courses in Meridian Psychotherapy and allied subjects and passing each stage of the course plus the final examination

or

(b) claiming exemption on a subject for subject basis by providing proof of examination success in a course in Meridian Psychotherapy and allied subjects of an equivalent standard from a recognised training body.

In each case supporting subjects must be offered in addition to the examinations in Meridian Psychotherapy.

In order to be considered for entry onto the register Candidates with other qualifications should in the first instance contact the Institute with a brief statement of the qualifications they would wish to be considered.
