NRRI CPD PROGRAMME

To comply with current best practice and to afford our members the utmost credibility of professional status, the NRRI has implemented an optional system of CPD - Continuous Professional Development - for our paid-up members.

Registration of membership entitles a member to Full NRRI Membership, renewable in a year's time with the option of maintaining Full Membership or adopting Associate Membership.

Full Membership: this option is open to all members and would be essential for a therapist intending to practise professionally. Full Members are accredited by QUINN Healthcare, HIBERNIAN Health and VHI Healthcare for reflexology and are listed on our website for referrals, free of charge. Full insurance cover is obligatory. Annual fee: €90.

To maintain Full Membership members are required to renew their annual membership as usual with an accumulation of 200 CPD credits over the preceding year of which a minimum of 100 credits must relate to reflexology.

Before undertaking a course for credits, one would be well advised to ascertain that the Credit rating has been agreed with the NRRI. Details of some CPD courses are available on our website. Here are some guidelines about CPD Credit Ratings.and First Aid Training CPD Credit Rating

CPD Forms are issued with renewals and new registrations to enable members to keep validated records of their credits, to be submitted with their renewals; further forms are available on request only.

Associate Membership: this option is suitable for a person who simply wishes to practise on family and friends in non-professional capacity, or for a member who simply wants to ‘keep in touch' with the complementary sector. An associate member receives the quarterly journal. CPD credits are not required and insurance is discretionary. Annual fee: €70.
