Teaching regulations?

I believe you will find that there are organisations wishing to tighten up on this, for example Penelope Quest's latest book on teaching Reiki was written to comply with National Occupational Standards and she mentions a Core Curriculum for Reiki practitioner training. So it could be that it may get harder to get insurance if you have not received training from an accredited source.

Ahh thank you, I'll look out for her new book.

I had teaching insurance through IPTI. If my memory serves me I had it because it enabled my students to gain insurance after they completed level 2.
Hope this helps.

I'm in Ireland and know it's different here but I have extra insurance from my insurance company for teaching, cost a little more but is worth it. All they needed was my Masters Cert

Ahh so I only need to have teaching insurance.
Thank you both, that is really helpful.

Hi UrbanHippy sorry if my post was misleading. I believe that if you want to offer Reiki to the public you need to have insurance. It is an additional charge on top of this if you are wanting to teach. Hope this helps.

I think it might be worth checking with the main Reiki associations to see what their requirements for membership are so that your students can join an association should they wish to. I belong to RHATS and they have minimum standards for membership both for practitioners and teachers - as a teacher my courses have to meet set standards to ensure my students can join RHATS.

To register with the GRCCT a practitioner needs to comply with NOS so if you want your students to be able to register with the GRCCT you need to teach them to NOS guidelines.
