ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Holistic Reiki

This 7-day programme combines the Level 1 - Self Healing, Level 2 - Practitioner Level and Mastership (Level 3) Usui Reiki courses.

The main aim of the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Reiki is to enable candidates to provide treatments for the purposes of relaxation and stress release.

It also aims:

• to provide skills at Level 3 in the National Qualification Framework for those interested in the Complementary Therapy/Care industry.
• to provide opportunities for staff in the Complementary Therapy / Care industry to gain a Level 3 qualification.
• to qualify candidates as Reiki Master practitioner at Level 3 in the Complementary / Care industry. (Does not qualify candidates as Master Teacher).
• to sustain the interest of candidates wanting to work in the Complementary Therapy industry.
• to encourage knowledge and understanding for the Complementary Therapy / Care industry at Level 3.
• to provide opportunities for candidates to focus on the development of the major Key skills and the wider Key skills in a Therapy context such as communicating with clients, working with others and problem solving.
• to provide opportunities for candidates to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in employment as a Reiki practitioner.

The candidate will study the theory and concept of energy and Reiki treatment as well as the anatomy and physiology of the whole body. Contraindications and recognition of when a client may need to be referred to another practitioner are a vital part of the training as well as the underpinning knowledge and skills required to successfully perform a Reiki treatment.

Case studies are also required to be completed for this award. The case studies form the internal assessment and should be assessed throughout the training by the tutor using the ITEC Case Study Guidance sheet. The case studies are then verified by an ITEC Examiner at the end of the course during the visit for invigilating the practical examination. The case studies ensure that a variety of clients must be consulted and treated in all the above areas and the outcomes of the treatments must be documented in order to gain experience of working with a variety of clients and conditions whilst candidates are still under supervision. Detailed rationales for the type of treatment and outcomes must be shown, as well as after care. A personal development log is to be maintained and submitted for assessment with the candidates’ case studies. This shows personal development and reflective practice, training CPD, self help, skills employed and research undertaken.
