May I apply for and be conferred certification if I have been practicing as a meditation instructor in a clinical setting or private practice with out they need to meet the educational requirements?
Response: No. The Board that oversees the development and approval of defined criteria and standards for certification will not consider only practice experience as meeting requirements in full. This decision was made as those who are already in consulting practices have varied and different experiences related to meditation practices and instruction and there is no insured uniformity that all who have practiced Meditation and instruction have the same knowledge base and skills attainment. The evaluation of one’s past practice experience in Meditation is highly variable and subjective. As such, the Board has developed objective criteria/standards for the conferral of certification. For these reasons, practice experience without the attainment of education will not be considered as fulfilling criteria and standards for our certification.
