PROFESSIONAL PRACTITIONER COURSES OF STUDY

 

Requirements for Entering Practitioner Courses of Study

The student enrolls in a Certificated Course at a member spiritual community and takes the required courses as listed below. The Foundations course must be completed before taking other courses and the courses may not be taken concurrently.
