There are 2 segments to this training that must be completed before the trainee will receive their certificate of completion.
1) Trainee must attend all in-person training hours (dates below)
2) Trainee will complete and pass all competencies in an in-person clinic under the supervision of the Registered Trainer. The trainee will also complete 40 treatments under the supervision of me, Angela Easterling or another registered trainer, ADS, or Acupuncturist before their application will be sent to NADA for completion. You will have four months to complete your 40 supervised treatments.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Email at the bottom of this page.
