Do I get a certificate at the end of the course and will I be able to get insurance with it?

Yes, you will receive a certificate at the end of both courses. As soon as you start the Practitioner course you can be insured as a student practitioner during that year. And as soon as you complete the practitioner course, you will be able to have full professional insurance as a Shamanic Practitioner. To be able to register for insurance you will have to complete minimun 4 out of the 5 modules. You will not be able to get insurance as a shamanic practitioner if you only do year 1 thought, as this is a Foundation course. The insurance is for you as a Shamanic Practitioner.

Do I have to insure with the insurer above?

No. If you already have insurance for holistic work, you can just add shamanic work to your insurance.

With the full certificate year 1 training does that mean I can be a practitioner?

No. If you intend to become a practitioner, as well as the certificate year 1, you will need to complete the Practitioner Training year 2 as a minimum requirement to start working with members of the public.

What happens if I miss a weekend?

To keep the continuity of the work for the group it is best if you don't miss a weekend. However, we understand that it might happens that you have to miss a weekend because of circumstances beyond your control. If that happens, you could catch up by attending that module either in the same year or the following year with another group.

Am I required to attend all modules?

If you are considering doing the Practitioner Training in year 2, everything taught in both courses will be essenstial for you as a practitioner. Therefore we recommend that you do a catch up by attending the module you have missed either in the same year with another group or the following year. For insurance purpuses, you are required to attend at least 4 modules out of 5 for each year.

Do I have to pay if I miss a weekend?

If for circumstances beyond your control you miss a module, you will not be required to pay for that weekend. You pay when you do a catch up in the following year if you choose to do that. However, we do expect committment from you for the training.

Can I do the first module and then decide if I want to committe for the whole year?

You can attend the first module and then decide, however, we would prefer if you could tell us in advance if that is the case. If you are in two minds, come and talk to us and have a taster of our work. The training is limited to 12 to 14 people maximum and usually we have a waiting list and you could be taking a place that could be for someone who is sure about doing the training.

If I have done year 1 training, can I work with family and friends without charging?

Yes, the course is to empower you all the way and we do hope you will bring what you have learnt in the course into your day to day life to support yourself and those you love.

I am already a Shamanic practitioner, could I join your trainings?

Everyone is welcome and our work and experience can add a different flavor, perspective and hopefully enhance your work too.
