IICT Accreditation Explained | Quantum Key Institute

What IICT is

The International Institute for Complementary Therapists.

The International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) is a professional membership body for complementary therapists, coaches and holistic practitioners. It offers professional membership and access to insurance in more than 35 countries.

IICT approves training providers whose courses meet its standards for each modality. Graduates of an accredited course can then apply for IICT professional membership, which gives them access to public liability and professional indemnity insurance through IICT's insurance partners.

What the approval covers.

QKI was accredited by IICT in October 2026 as a Premier Training Provider for five modalities: Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Meditation and Energy Healing.

For all five, IICT accreditation covers professional membership and insurance in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the EU, the UK and Canada.

For graduates

What IICT accreditation means for you.

Professional membership. Graduates of QKI's Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Meditation and Energy Healing courses can apply to join IICT as professional members.

Insurance. IICT membership gives access to public liability and professional indemnity insurance with IICT's insurance partners in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the EU, the UK and Canada. Running a practice without insurance is a risk most practitioners can't afford, and this makes it straightforward.

Recognition. Quantum Key Institute is listed on IICT's public register of training providers, so clients, employers and other practitioners can check it.

Honest limits

What IICT accreditation does not mean.

It is not government accreditation. IICT accreditation is professional recognition from an independent membership body. It is not nationally recognised training, and QKI is not a registered training organisation (RTO).

It does not equal medical licensure. Quantum Key Institute graduates are not doctors, psychologists or licensed therapists. IICT accreditation covers complementary and holistic practice.

It does not replace local law. Some regions require practitioners of certain modalities to hold a licence or registration. Graduates are expected to know and follow the rules where they practise.
