Requirements for Certification

Although students may enroll in one, two, three or all four of the modules, certification requires that all four modules are completed.  BodyWay students seeking certification with a focus on food and weight issues, will complete a fifth Module, which addresses those issues.  Aliveness Intensive students seeking certification are required to attend a minimum of two Aliveness Intensives. Intensives are held in Portland Oregon. 


Certification is given upon demonstration of proficiency.
Proficiency is determined by faculty review of the following: 
Knowledge of the Material
Use of BodyWay Language

20 Hours of Individual Sessions with Learning Notes

Practicum
Practicum is the portion of the program designed for students to develop skills by practicing with each other and/or clients.  Students will audio tape sessions and submit for them for review by faculty for proficiency.  Practicum must be completed to achieve certification.
