Certification Program Essentials
Application
Everyone is welcome to take Zero Balancing courses. To be a Certified ZB practitioner 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 to apply and will be asked additional questions to determine acceptance.
- If you are a student enrolled in a professional healthcare training program, you will be asked additional questions about your training during the application process. Health care students must complete their training before completing ZB Certification.
- 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 professional training such as the Basic Science and Business Practices for Bodywork Professionals offered by Emerald Bodywork Education. This 100-hour online program gives you a professional foundation needed to be a certified ZB practitioner.
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.
