The team at IICT are helpful, knowledgeable and quick to respond. It gives my graduates confidence to know that my training is approved in 39 countries with IICT. It enables them to be insured and to go into spaces with a professional seal of excellence behind them and what they do. This is thanks to IICT. I have found my association with them to be very beneficial for myself, my team and my students.
As an Approved Training Provider, my overall experience with IICT has been wonderful. They deliver an outstanding service, professional body and great cover at affordable prices. If you are wanting to add a new modality, look no further as IICT has it all. Adding new modalities has been an easy and clear process and adds extra credibility to your courses. They have been extremely helpful, resourceful and incredibly easy to work with. I highly recommend IICT, I have been more than happy with their business and professionalism.
I have been associated with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) for many years now. I have always felt supported and enjoyed getting my insurance through IICT at a great price. In 2017, my Embodied Feminine Institute was recognised as a Premier Training Provider with IICT and this year, The Fembodiment™ Method Training is now an internationally approved New Modality with IICT. I am so happy to be able to offer my students great access to such professional membership, insurance opportunities, and professional advice. I highly recommend the team at IICT to anyone in the complementary therapy industry who is looking for a high level of care and support.
I’ve been a member of IICT for almost a decade and at the start of the year I decided to take a leap and develop two training courses which involved having a new modality listed. I contacted the Training Provider section and had a lovely conversation with Katrina. She explained all of the steps necessary and was a big help over the proceeding few months with any questions I had. I can highly recommend Katrina and the team at the Training Provider section of IICT!
Working with IICT has transformed what was once a vision into a reality with birthing Menstrual Cycle Coaching into the world. As a new modality, the process from enquiry to application, right through to approval with IICT has been beyond supportive. The IICT team walk you through each step to having a new modality approved, be it either by phone or email. I truly felt supported in each step towards having my modality brought to life and beyond thrilled that it’s now recognised internationally as well.
I am so grateful to the wonderful staff at IICT. Registering my modality seemed so daunting to start with, but with their help the process was so easy. They provide you with everything you need to guide you along the way and whenever I had any questions, they were always there to help. I’m now living my dream of teaching people all over the world the powerful combination of healing with Sound Healing Energy Therapy, all thanks to IICT.

IICT is a self-regulated professional membership body. We are not affiliated with any government regulatory bodies or professional regulatory authorities. Qualifications are not reviewed against a government regulated qualification scheme framework and do not provide ‘national recognition.’
Please note, in Toronto, holistic practitioners are required by law to be registered with a government recognised regulatory body. You can learn more HERE.
Training Provider Membership is intended for individuals, businesses and schools who train people to become practitioners in a specific field or modality. The intention is that when students graduate from your course, they will be eligible for professional membership and practitioner insurance through IICT.
No. IICT does not approve continuing education courses and we do not require our members to complete Continuing Professional. Development/Education courses to maintain their membership and insurance. Therefore, it is not necessary for you to submit short courses, CPE courses, or personal development courses for review.
IICT Membership is recognised in 35+ countries worldwide; however, international modality recognition is subject to the approval of regional insurance partners, regulation of ‘protected titles’ (see below), and regional/state training requirements. It is your responsibility to be aware of any License(s), Registration(s), and regional/state training requirements in the countries/regions in which you are teaching courses.
Below is a list of all countries that IICT currently operates in:
UK and Europe: United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Gibraltar, Iceland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Latvia Sweden, Channel Islands, Norway, Estonia, Austria, Malta, Isle of Man, Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia, Cyprus, Lithuania, Croatia, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Finland
South Africa (covered under the EU/UK insurer)
Oceania: Australia, New Zealand
United States
Canada
By law, there are specific titles which are referred to as ‘protected titles’. This means that only those people who are registered or endorsed in a particular profession can use the titles associated with that profession. This may require the practitioner to obtain Licensing and or Registrations required by a regulatory authority. Protected titles can include but are not limited to complementary therapy professions such as: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Kinesiology, Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, Massage, Art Therapy, Dietician, Psychotherapy, and Counselling.
Furthermore, it may be illegal for a practitioner to use a symbol, word or description which could be reasonably understood to indicate that an individual is a health practitioner or qualified to practice in a registered health profession. In Australia, this is referred to as ‘holding out.’
Protected titles vary by country, and in some cases by state. For example, each state in Canada and the United States have their own specific occupational regulations. HERE is a list of protected titles in Australia. If you have further questions, please contact AHPRA on 1300 419 495.
As a Training Provider, you warrant to IICT that as part of your approval you are aware of any Licenses and/or Registrations required by law in the regions where you are teaching your courses. You must obtain, maintain, and ensure that every person employed or engaged by you to facilitate the provision of services/modalities holds all valid License(s) and/or Registration(s) required by any regulatory authority within the region or territory in which you/they practice and completes as required by any regulations such course(s) of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as are required for the renewal and continued validity of such License(s) and Registration(s).
If your modality is not approved with one of IICT’s insurance partners, you can still teach your course in that country/region. Your students will just need to find their own insurance in that country, or you can recommend a provider for them.
If your modality is not approved in your preferred region, you can request a full refund within 14 days.
IICT only approves the modality. Therefore, if someone meets the minimum requirement to be a practitioner they will be approved for professional membership and insurance.
Any additional training that a student undertakes would be covered under this modality, as long as they are practicing within the scope of their training.
You are only permitted to use our Professional Seal for modalities approved by IICT. Should you wish to add additional modalities to your profile at any time, you must submit an application and receive approval.
For example, if in your original application you are approved to teach Reiki and Massage, but at a later point in time you want to begin teaching Kinesiology, this will require that you submit an Existing Modality application to IICT. Upon receipt of your application, we will review your course to ensure it meets our minimum training requirements.
If you want to teach a modality that is not currently recognised by IICT, you will need to submit a New Modality application. We will then send this application to our insurance partners, and they will assess if they will cover the modality or not.
Please note that international modality recognition is subject to the approval of regional insurance partners. Depending on your Training Provider status, a new modality application may be included in your membership. If not, there is a small administrative fee of $79.00 + GST for each new modality application that you submit.
You can view a list of our approved modalities here.

*Some modalities have minimum teaching requirements. Please email us at atpsupport@myiict.com for more information.
All courses must include the following components: scope of practice, contraindications, and client management.
Scope of practice is what you are educated, competent and authorised to perform as a complementary therapy professional.

Client management should include, but is not limited to, pre-screening clients, how and when to refer a client to a qualified healthcare professional, duty of care and professional boundaries and ethics.
