National Reflexology Certification
Setting the Highest Standard Across the Nation To Which Professional Reflexologists Aspire
Today, there is a revolutionary inclusion of complementary therapies into health care professions. Qualified Reflexologists with the highest standards of credential are being sought by the public and from the health care industry. With this acceptance of Reflexology as a valuable and noninvasive therapy comes the responsibility of the profession to provide qualified practitioners who meet established national standards.
The American Reflexology Certification Board is a nonprofit corporation. As an independent testing agency, it offers a national certification program. Its primary aim is to certify the competency of those Reflexologists who practice on a professional basis and wish to be recognized as meeting national standards. It is not affiliated with any association, training program or instructor. Nor does it accredit teachers or curriculums. The ARCB program does not interfere with, nor negate, certification programs offered by different schools. ARCB encourages each school to test its students before awarding a diploma or certification of completion. ARCB certification is an important step offering increased credibility for both the practitioner and the field.
The goal of national certification is to promote Reflexology through the recognition of competent professional practitioners. Reflexologists that are involved in the national certification process promote higher standards of education, ensure public safety, and demonstrate their commitment to the profession. With the identification of nationally certified practitioners, there is confidence in the quality of services offered.
There are testing prerequisites, details on education, information on the testing process, the examination, test scoring and notification of results, fees, referrals, and the appeals process available from the North Carolina Reflexology Association or directly from the American Reflexology Certification Board listed in our links.
