Becoming a Health Kinesiology Practitioner

Kinesiology considers you ready to call yourself an HK Practitioner after
you have completed HK 1– 6. This includes a total of 168 hours of
course instruction with plenty of practice on friends, family and clients
as well. Of course, you can begin to work on family and friends as soon
as you have taken as little as one day of courses: HK is immediately
useful.
HK has taught many
thousands of students worldwide, from over 25 countries
(see Quotes on course descriptions page for student comments).
Foundation stages
are 28 hours course time each (30 in UK), generally taught in 4 full
days. A student progresses from HK 1 to HK 6 in sequence. The courses
are generally spaced so that there is time to absorb and practice the
material presented before going on to the next course. Check course
schedules to get a feel for the timing. Usually, one individual teacher
sees a course straight through from HK 1 to 6, although students are
free to change teachers if they wish. This may take a year or longer,
depending on student interest and course availability.
Once you have completed
HK 6, you may receive client referrals from the HK office, but will
not be personally recommended by us unless you have gone through the
rigorous HK Practitioner certification process. This option confirms
your competence as an HK Practitioner.
Practitioner
Certification
Practitioner certification
provides you with public acknowledgment of your excellence as a student
and practitioner of HK. It requires not only thorough knowledge of course
content, but also considerable hands-on experience with clients, and
the ability to demonstrate your skill to an examiner.
Although you are
free to work as an HK Practitioner without being certified, certification
gives you a measure of your personal and professional accomplishment
and gives your clients the assurance of your mastery of the HK material.
Naturally, the HK Office gives preference to certified practitioners
when making referrals. HK Certification is purely a function of the
HK program; it is not a legal licensure of any sort.
Requirements
for HK Practitioner Certification:
• Attendance
at HK 1 through 6.
• A written examination of your understanding of the data, procedures, and
skills taught in HK 1 to 6.
• A personal demonstration/exam of your hands-on HK skills in the presence
of an HK instructor.
• Proper documentation of your use of HK with other people.
• Documentation of personal HK corrections you have received from other
HK practitioners.
HK
as a Professional Option
Health
Kinesiology is a powerful option as a professional path.
Its rigorous standards
of teaching and certification assure that you will be competent to
work as a professional in the field of alternative health. HK can be
combined with other modalities that you may currently practice, or
that you may decide to learn at a later date. Even seasoned kinesiologists
have found that HK added a power and clarity to their work that they
did not have before.
Many HK students
have begun to study and practice as they continued to work at their "regular" jobs,
only to find that demand for their services grew quickly. Once they
took the leap, they were soon able to go into practice full-time, devoting
themselves to helping others through HK.
As continuing
professional development, HK 7– 10 are offered for students who
have completed HK Stage 6. Most of these courses are taught by Dr.
Scott himself, in USA, England, Germany, and wherever there are HK
6 students. These courses provide exciting opportunities for expanding
your mastery of HK, as Dr. Scott shares his ever increasing body of
knowledge and experience directly with his students.
