*International modality recognition is subject to approval of regional insurance partners. Training Provider Memberships are automatically renewed on a annual basis, unless otherwise specified. Being an ‘IICT Approved Training Provider’ (IICT ATP) does not provide the applicant with Registered Training Organisation status (RTO); nor is IICT affiliated with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) or the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). Once approved, all IICT ATP’s must not utilise terms such as ‘nationally recognised training ‘ or ‘nationally accredited training provider’ in conjunction with IICT ATP status. Approved Training Provider status must only be referenced in conjunction with the IICT name and common seal on promotional materials, both electronic and hard copy. Being an ‘IICT Premier Training Provider’ (IICT PTP) does not provide the applicant with Registered Training Organization status (RTO). Once approved, all IICT PTP’s must not utilise terms such as ‘nationally recognized training ‘ or ‘nationally accredited training provider’ in conjunction with IICT PTP status. Platinum Training Provider status must only be referenced in conjunction with the IICT name and common seal on promotional materials, both electronic and hard copy. IICT Newsletter Advertising Feature is subject to Joint Venture Agreement with cross promotion of IICT to your training network.
FAQ
Who can apply to become a Training Provider?
Training Provider membership is intended for individuals, businesses and schools who train people to become practitioners in a specific field or modality. The intention is that when student’s graduate from your course they will be eligible for professional membership and practitioner insurance through IICT.
Does IICT accredit courses? Will my students be able to apply for a provider number?
IICT is a self-regulated business and therefore we cannot use the terms “Nationally Recognised” or “Accredited.”
Approved Training Provider status must only be referenced in conjunction with the IICT name and common seal on promotional materials, both electronic and hard copy.
Does IICT require or approve Continuing Education or Professional Development courses?
IICT does not require our members to complete Continuing Professional Development/Education courses to maintain their membership and insurance. Therefore it is not necessary for you to submit short courses, CPE courses, or personal development courses for review.
The best way to determine if your course should be submitted is to ask this question: At the end of my course, will my participants be qualified to enter the marketplace as practitioners in this modality?
Will all of my courses be approved internationally?
IICT membership is recognised in 27 countries worldwide; however, International modality recognition is subject to approval of regional insurance partners, regulation of ‘protected titles’ (see below), and regional/state training requirements. It is your responsibility to be aware of any License(s), Registration(s), and regional/state training requirements in the countries/regions in which you are teaching courses.
Below is a list of all 27 countries that IICT currently operates in:
UK and Europe: United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Greece, Latvia Sweden, Channel Islands, Norway, Estonia, Austria, Malta, Isle of Man, Netherlands
South Africa (covered under the EU/UK insurer)
Oceania: Australia, New Zealand
United States
Canada: Please note that Canada is not currently accepting new modality applications. Please contact us for special considerations.
What is a protected title?
By law, there are specific titles which are referred to as ‘protected titles’. This means that only those people who are registered, or endorsed, in a particular profession can use the titles associated with that profession. This may require the practitioner to obtain Licensing and or Registrations required by a regulatory authority. This can include, but is not limited to natural therapy professions such as: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Kinesiology, Homeopathy, Herbal Medicine, Massage, Art Therapy, Dietician, Psychotherapy, and Counselling.
Furthermore, it may be illegal for a practitioner to use a symbol, word, or description which could be reasonably understood to indicate that an individual is a health practitioner or qualified to practice in a registered health profession. In Australia, this is referred to as ‘holding out.’
Protected titles vary by country, and in some cases by state. For example, each state in Canada and the United States have their own specific occupational regulations. HERE is a list of protected titles in Australia. If you have further questions please contact AHPRA at 1 300 419 495.
As a Training Provider, you warrant to IICT that as part of your approval you are aware of any Licenses and/or Registrations required by law in the regions whereby you are teaching your courses. You must obtain and maintain and must ensure that every person employed or engaged by you to facilitate the provision of services/modalities holds any and all valid License(s) and/or Registration(s) required by any regulatory authority within the region or territory in which you/they practice and completes as required by any regulations such course(s) of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as are required for the renewal and continued validity of such License(s) and Registration(s).
What happens if my modality is not approved in a specific region?
If your modality is not approved with one of IICT’s insurance partners, you can still teach your course in that country/region. Your students will just need to find their own insurance in that country or you can recommend a provider for them.
If your modality is not approved in your preferred region you can request a full refund within 14 days.
Does IICT approve course levels such as Practitioner, Master, and Teacher?
IICT only approves the modality. Therefore if someone meets the minimum requirement to be a practitioner they will be approved for professional membership and insurance.
Any additional training that a student undertakes would be covered under this modality, as long as they are practicing within the scope of their training.
Once I am approved as a Training Provider are all of my courses approved in the future?
You are only permitted to use our Professional Seal for modalities approved by IICT. Should you wish to add additional modalities to your profile at any time, you must submit an application and receive approval.
For example if in your original application you are approved to teach Reiki and Massage, but at a later point in time you want to begin teaching Kinesiology this will require that you submit an Existing Modality application to IICT. Upon receipt of your application we will review your course to ensure it meets our minimum training requirements.
If you want to teach a modality that is not currently recognised by IICT you will need to submit a New Modality application. We will then send this application to our Insurance partners and they will assess if they will cover the modality or not. Please note that International modality recognition is subject to approval of regional insurance partners. Depending on your Training Provider status a new modality application may be included in your membership. If not, there is a small administrative fee of $79.00 + GST for each new modality application that you submit.
