Two Certification Tracks available: Intensive Program or Self-Paced Program

The Zero Balancing Certification Program is flexible, offering both self-paced and intensive formats. The general 100-hour curriculum of the self-paced and Intensive certification programs are the same: 50 hours of Core programs and 50 additional hours of either Core or advanced programs. Self-paced certification involves the individual signing up separately for each class during their certification process. The intensive certification program is a specified course of study where students register in advance for the entire program of courses. Please see the certification requirements document for a list of courses which are approved for certification credit.

• includes a mentor who gives personal support to each candidate for certification.

The core group will meet for extra class days of personal and professional growth work and receive individualized supervision between classes.

The Self-Paced Certification Program:

• offers students the flexibility to choose approved classes and to do their practicum at their own pace.
• includes a mentor who gives personal support to each candidate for certification.
