Purpose

The purpose of the Occupational Certificate: Reiki Practitioner is to prepare a learner to operate as a Reiki Practitioner. The part-qualification will encourage and build a community of Reiki practitioners and teachers who offer professional; quality care; through well-structured, applied quality education aligned with international best practice. A qualified learner will be able to: • Establish and maintain Reiki healing services in a public or private context. • Conduct client consultation and record-keeping in a public or private energy healing service context. • Facilitate a process of client wellbeing through applying energy healing modalities.

Rationale

This part-qualification will encourage and build a community of practitioners and teachers who offer cost-efficient quality wellness care; through well-structured, applied quality education aligned with international best practice. This approach to up-skilling and re-skilling South African Reiki Practitioners/Healers and new entrants. This will elevate the industry as a whole and encourage multi-skilling and skills transferability in the public and private sectors. The outcome of this is recognition, legitimacy, and collaboration of this industry. This will uplift service delivery from natural energy healers and academics, which will encourage overall empowerment, upliftment, and financial success. In the social context, this ratification, of a previously fragmented industry brings wellness options to communities and individuals, encouraging them to take accountability for their wellbeing with the support of trained, skilled, and dedicated practitioners at all levels. The minimum number of credits is attributed to the content, complexity, and nature of training, which still exceeds the average international duration for the same training course.
