What dual accreditation means for you.
1. It's recognised when you register with professional bodies.
If you go to join a professional association or directory after graduating, accredited credentials are what they look for. IPHM accreditation is one of the most widely recognised credentials in the holistic and complementary medicine space. IICT accreditation means graduates can join IICT as professional members. Our IBF membership connects us to the global breathwork community. IICT and IPHM accreditation both mean your training met an external standard, not just an internal one set by the school that took your money.
2. You can get insured.
To run a practice you'll generally want professional indemnity insurance. Because we're an IICT Premier Training Provider, graduates of Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Meditation and Energy Healing can get IICT professional membership, which gives access to public liability and professional indemnity insurance in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the EU, the UK and Canada. Insurers want to see that your qualification comes from a recognised training provider. IPHM accreditation is on the list almost every insurer in the holistic space accepts. The specifics differ by jurisdiction — check with your insurer — but the accreditation does the heavy lifting on the qualification side.
3. It signals legitimacy outside the wellness community.
The hardest moment for any new practitioner is having to explain their certification to someone who isn't already in the world — a corporate referral, a clinical psychologist, a workplace wellness program. Saying "I trained with an IICT and IPHM accredited provider" gives them something concrete to look up. The credentials travel.
4. It holds the school to a standard.
This is the piece students don't always think about until later. Because we're accredited externally, the curriculum has to hold up against external review. We can't just teach whatever we think is right. The standard is enforced from outside, not just from inside.
Which of our certifications carry which accreditation.
Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Meditation and Energy Healing are accredited by IICT. All certifications are accredited through IPHM. We're also a member of the International Breathwork Foundation.
- Life Coaching — IICT & IPHM Accredited
- Hypnotherapy — IICT & IPHM Accredited
- Breathwork Facilitation — IICT & IPHM Accredited
- Meditation Teaching — IICT & IPHM Accredited
- Energy Healing — IICT & IPHM Accredited
- Quantum Key Method — IPHM Accredited
If a school tells you a single certification is accredited but the others in the same program aren't, that's a flag. Ours are all accredited under the same standard.
What accreditation doesn't mean.
To be straight with you: accreditation is not the same thing as being a registered psychologist, doctor, or licensed therapist. None of the modalities we teach sit inside the regulated medical or psychological scope of practice in any country we operate in. They sit inside the holistic and complementary practice space, which is where the IICT and IPHM credentials are recognised.
Graduates work as coaches, hypnotherapists, breathwork facilitators, meditation teachers, energy practitioners and Quantum Key Method practitioners. They don't work as medical providers. That distinction matters and we make it clear to every student before they enrol.
Comparing us with a coaching-only course?
Coaching accreditation, like ICF, and complementary therapy accreditation, like IICT, cover different work. If you're weighing up courses, read ICF or IICT? How to choose the right accreditation. It explains what each one covers, what to look out for, and seven questions to ask any school, including us.
