Accreditation Board for Holistic Therapists
Posted in Accreditation, alternative therapies on 09/01/2009 03:44 pm by adminThe International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) has been developed to provide the general public and health professionals with a body of regulated professionals, all qualified to accredited levels. All of our full professional members have appropriate professional qualifications and are either directly accredited in their own right (e.g. NVQ’s BTech , Institute of Personal Development and degrees) or are from approved awarding bodies. The accreditations are awarded by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine, members of whom have thoroughly studied the coursework provided by the course provider or school, and we have approved their training methods and course material.
IPHM offers free advice to newly qualified holistic practitioners on how to get started, personal marketing tips, a proof reading service for leaflets and advertising and general guidance on what to do to make your business successful. Between our members we have many years experience in holistic therapies, palmistry/tarot reading, training and marketing so we can help you start up professionally.
OBJECTIVES: The association is a support group for complementary therapists which was founded as a non-profit making organisation run by a committee of its members. The code of Ethics and this Consitution were adopted January 2006 and supersede any previous Code Of Ethics.
Accreditation: by the Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM) is a guarantee of quality and expertise. It means that the College, School or Learning Programme has been evaluated and approved by an independent panel of experienced Practitioners and Professionals. We are able to maintain the highest of standards in natural therapy for the benefit of both the Practitioners and their clients. Our accreditation appears on all Diplomas and Certificates that are issued by our registered training providers and tutors. Once you have graduated and passed your examination you can then display your Certificate or Diploma with great pride.
Students: Who successfully complete a course that is accredited by IPHM will receive a recognised Diploma/Certificate to enable them to practice their chosen subject and be entitled to use iphm after their name. Accreditation is a process in which certification of competency, authority, or credibility is awarded. It is necessary in order to regulate the conduct of the organisation and to cover for all eventualities.
