Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma in London

The Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma represents the pinnacle of professional recognition for practitioners in the UK. This comprehensive qualification enables graduates to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and display the prestigious CNHC Quality Mark.

Designed for versatility, the curriculum prepares students to practice competently across all sectors, including private clinics, care homes, and NHS environments. The program is delivered through four in-person modules (in London), integrating Reiki Level 1 and Level 2.

This course is designed for those looking to practice at a professional level:

• Core Curriculum: The syllabus strictly adheres to the Reiki Council’s Core Curriculum and the National Occupational Standards for Reiki.
• CNHC Registration: Graduates are eligible to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) via the UK Reiki Federation.
• Career Integration: Since most NHS trusts now mandate CNHC registration for practitioners, this Diploma serves as a vital credential for working within the healthcare sector.

It is not necessary to commit to the entire diploma when you start learning Reiki Level 1. You can add the other modules step by step.

However, the earlier you choose to join the Professional Reiki Diploma programme, the sooner you can begin working on your case files and submitting coursework. Because there is no time limit, you can progress through the Diploma at your own comfortable pace.

• Dates for Reiki Level 1 classes are available on the Reiki Courses page.
• Dates for Reiki Level 2, Modules 3, and 4 will be discussed and mutually agreed upon once you are ready to advance further on your Reiki path.

• Please note that credits from independent Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 courses are not transferable to the Diploma programme.
• Certificates for Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 are awarded only upon completion of the full course.
• Graduates are then eligible to progress to the Master Level class, provided they meet the standard entry requirements.
