Training Information
Associations

As this Association is a support service for existing qualified Therapists we do not get directly involved in training.

However, as a service to our Members who wish to take additional training and to interested people visiting this website we provide information on Accredited Training Schools and Courses which has been provided to us and which, to the best of our ability, have been verified by us.

It is of the utmost importance to those wishing to embark on training in complementary medicine that they attend a school/college/institute that is accredited.

This is not necessarily a definitive list as it is not yet complete. It does not imply that if the particular school you are training with or have applied to for training is not listed here that it is not accredited.

ARCHTI recommends that no matter where you undertake training it is in your own interests to check out any training course/school/institute as to the qualifications of those providing the training and their accreditation bodies, if any. ARCHTI only accepts accredited qualifications for the purpose of registering individual Therapists for Membership.
