The International Polarity Educational Alliance
This month sees the launch of the International Polarity Educational Alliance an initiative which grew out of discussions on the Polarity Council Group, that was formed in 2000. The Polarity Council is a group of over 30 Polarity Educators from the USA, Canada and Europe who regularly explore all aspects of the future of Polarity.
The International Polarity Education Alliance offers a public listing of trainings worldwide with a focus on "Polarity Education," in its broadest meaning and offers graduates of any Polarity Training programme the opportunity to use the initials EPP or PTP.
These initials recognize the wealth of people who have taken some training in Polarity, maybe as part of massage training, or as short courses for CPD or for personal growth yet have no recognition of the fact that they have undertaken this education. There are also many Polarity practitioners who have elected not to belong to a practitioner association and are therefore not entitled to use the relevant initials associated with those associations, yet they are qualified. The IPEA grants the right to use a set of initials that is not dependant on being a member of any National or International Polarity Therapy Association.
For a fully qualified Polarity Therapist who is trained in all aspects of Polarity Therapy the right to use the initials PTP will be granted. PTP stands for Polarity Therapy Professional. You will receive a diploma to this effect from organisational affiliate "The Polarity Network." This diploma and the usage of the initials is granted in perpetuity and is not dependent on membership of the Polarity Network even though such membership may be valuable for your ongoing practice as well as you personal and professional development.
If you have trained in only some aspects of the Polarity Principles or of the full Polarity Therapy model you can apply for the usage of the initials EPP which stand for International Polarity Education. This option is ideally suited to graduates of all trainings that focus on personal growth through Polarity Principles or just aspects of the Polarity Therapy model such as bodywork or energy exercise.
Application to the IPEA for trainings is currently FREE.
There is a small, one time administration fee of $30/23 euros/£19 for the issuing of initials PTP or EPP with printed certificate.
