About the institute.
What is Quantum Key Institute?
Quantum Key Institute (QKI) is an Australian-founded coaching and practitioner training organisation. QKI accredits six different modalities — life coaching, hypnotherapy, breathwork facilitation, meditation teaching, energy healing, and the Quantum Key Method — inside one integrated program. All certifications are IPHM accredited. The breathwork certification is additionally recognised by the International Breathwork Foundation. Quantum Key Institute Pty Ltd, ABN 93 684 008 366. Founded by Luke Stringa and Jacob Stringa.
Who founded Quantum Key Institute?
Brothers Luke Stringa (CEO and Co-Founder) and Jacob Stringa (Co-Founder). Together they co-developed the Quantum Key Method over years of working with their own clients before turning it into a formal modality. Luke leads the business side; Jacob leads the practitioner training side.
What does QKI stand for?
QKI is the abbreviation for Quantum Key Institute. The institute is also referred to as Quantum Key Method (QKM) in some contexts, particularly in relation to QKI's signature modality.
Where is QKI based?
Quantum Key Institute Pty Ltd is registered in Australia under ABN 93 684 008 366. The entire program is delivered online, which is how QKI has practitioners in 14+ countries across Australia, the UK, the US, Canada, New Zealand, and parts of Europe and Asia.
About the programs.
What programs does QKI offer?
Two main entry points: the Quantum Key Practitioner Training (12 months) and the Quantum Key Accelerator (18 months). Both cover the same six accredited certifications and the Business Incubator. The Accelerator adds deeper one-to-one mentoring and extended business support. See the comparison article for the full breakdown.
How long does the training take?
12 months for the Practitioner Training. 18 months for the Accelerator. Anything shorter than this generally doesn't produce a working practitioner — read the article on certification timelines for the longer answer.
Is the training online?
Yes. The entire program runs online — live coaching calls, support sessions, practice rooms, the Business Incubator. The format is designed to fit alongside a full-time job, which is how a lot of QKI students build the practice before transitioning full-time.
Can I do this while I keep my current job?
Yes — in fact, most students start exactly this way. Damien did the program while running FIFO. Helena did it while running a beauty therapy room. The program is structured to integrate alongside a full-time role without requiring you to quit your job.
What certifications will I have at the end?
Six IPHM accredited certifications: Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork Facilitation (IBF recognised), Meditation Teaching, Energy Healing, and the Quantum Key Method.
What is the Business Incubator?
The Business Incubator is the business mentoring side of the program that runs in parallel with the practitioner training from week one. It covers pricing, packaging, sales conversations, content, client acquisition through social media and direct outreach, copywriting, lead generation, branding, and the operating model of a real practice. It's the piece most coaching schools leave out and the piece QKI graduates talk about most.
What is the First Client Guarantee?
If you implement the system inside the program and don't land your first paying client, QKI continues working with you for free until you do. The guarantee exists because Luke and Jacob built the programs to actually produce paying practitioners.
About cost and payment.
How much does the QKI program cost?
Investment varies by program and level of support. Flexible payment plans are available. Specifics are covered on a Roadmap Session with the team after you've read the Blueprint — QKI doesn't publish pricing publicly because the right program for each person is a real conversation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. The program is structured to be paid over the duration of the training so it's accessible to people who can't drop the full investment up front. Multiple payment plan options are available.
Is there a refund policy?
The program is backed by the First Client Guarantee — if you implement the system and don't land your first paying client, QKI continues working with you for free until you do. Specific refund terms vary by program and are covered in the enrolment paperwork.
About accreditation.
Is QKI accredited?
Yes. All six certifications are accredited through the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM). The breathwork certification additionally carries recognition through the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF). You can verify QKI's IPHM listing at the IPHM directory.
What does IPHM accreditation mean?
IPHM is a UK-based accrediting body for holistic and complementary practitioners, recognised across 70+ countries. It's the most widely accepted accreditation in the holistic and coaching space. Full explainer here.
What does IBF recognition mean?
The International Breathwork Foundation is an international body for the breathwork profession. IBF recognition is specifically valuable for practitioners who work in breathwork as part of their practice. Full explainer here.
Can I get insurance with a QKI certification?
Yes. IPHM accreditation is on the accepted list of almost every professional indemnity insurer in the holistic and complementary practice space. Specifics vary by jurisdiction — check with your local insurer — but the accreditation does the heavy lifting on the qualification side.
