Certification Program Essentials
Everyone is welcome to take Zero Balancing courses. To be a Certified ZB practitioner prior training as a healthcare professional is a requirement, and this is reflected in our eligibility requirements and application process.
Our online application is easy to fill out and is customized by these categories:
-
If you are a licensed healthcare professional, you are eligible for immediate acceptance.
-
If you are a non-licensed healthcare professional with an active practice of three years or longer, you are eligible for immediate acceptance.
-
If you are a non-licensed healthcare professional with an active practice of three years or longer, you will be asked additional questions to determine acceptance.

Future bullet for health care professionals who have taken a break from their practices. (we are discussing adding this category)
If you are unlicensed and not currently enrolled in a professional healthcare training program, you can meet the qualification for enrollment with an online basic sciences and practices program such as the ZB Gap Curriculum offered by Emerald Bodywork Education. This 100-hour online program gives you a professional foundation without specific ZB hands-on bodywork technique. Hand-on techniques and specific ZB principles, theory and practices are taught in the ZB curriculum classes required for ZB Certification.
Note: Zero Balancing Certification does not provide a legal license to practice. Please check your state and local health care licensing requirements if you do not have a formal health care license.
Cost: The $600 program fee covers administrative support and outreach as well as the cost of both the written and practical exams.
-
If you have a Core-Pak, the program fee for Certification is already included.
-
If you happen to not pass either exam, there is an additional fee to retake it.

Contact the ZBHA if you would like to arrange a payment plan for the Program Fee.
