Course Descriptors for the awarding of CPD Credits.

The NRRI operate a Continuous Professional Development programme comprising graduate, post graduate, short course/workshop and seminar descriptors.

Annual renewal of full NRRI Membership requires 200 CPD credits biennially, of which at least 100 credits must apply to reflexology.

In evaluating post graduate course and seminar descriptors for NRRI CPD, bonus credits are allocated to those relating specifically to reflexology.
>>NRRI CPD Credit Rating>> List of approved therapies can be found below...

Tutors must be appropriately qualified before any course descriptor can be considered for NRRI CPD approval.

NRRI Practitioner Diploma in Reflexology
This graduate course is provided exclusively by NRRI Affiliated Schools and the Diploma is awarded 100 CPD credits which are valid for a period of twelve months from the date of graduation. It is a condition of NRRI School affiliation that the school will provide minimum two post graduate CPD training.

Post graduate short course/workshop training and seminars
In addition to training provided by NRRI Affiliated Schools, CPD credits are awarded for training provided or facilitated by qualified NRRI Full Members and other providers at the discretion of the NRRI Registry.

A short course is defined as a workshop or a course of several days providing tuition and/or additional training enabling specialisation in an existing qualification.

A course or seminar descriptor is a statement of the course content, will determine the allocation of CPD credits and is valid for subsequent courses where there are no substantial changes.

Awarding bodies have specific criteria for accreditation of courses and these are taken into account when approving descriptors for NRRI CPD rating while keeping in mind the NRRI ethos and the holistic approach of CAM therapies.
