FAQs

How will EMC's certification affect my program's current certification?

Our certification should not impact the 'self-certification' that your program currently offers.  For those programs independently certified through us it is offered in addition to what is currently offered.  The benefit to practitioners and programs is that they meet the accreditation standard of independent certification through EMC and you benefit from our (future) accreditation status and marketing efforts.

 As an independent practitioner not associated with a program of study, can I be certified by EMC?

No.  We contract with programs to certify their students/practitioners. 

Will my program's certification be accredited through EMC?

No.  EMC will be accredited with NCCA.  This means that as a certification organization we meet their accreditation standards.  This adds value to our certifications (and therefore yours) and answers the question, "Who accredits your certification?"

 Will this certification be used to regulate disciplines that offer hands on healing?

No. There is a difference between credentialing and licensure. A credential is voluntary, meaning you choose to achieve it.  Licensure is required by law in order to practice.

 What if I choose not to certify?  Will I still be allowed to practice?

Yes. It is NOT our intent to limit the ability of individuals to practice.  We believe strongly that all ethical practitioners should be allowed to practice.

What is the purpose of certification?

The sole purpose of certification is to provide professional organizations and the public the information necessary to protect their interest in obtaining a qualified energy medicine practitioner.
