Certification Process
Since Upledger courses are postgraduate and those taking them are already qualified in other disciplines there is not a requirement to get qualified to utilize the techniques in your practice. However, there is a huge amount more to CranioSacral Therapy as developed by Dr John, and the Certification process is something you will really like.
Certificate of Techniques

- that you are able to connect, meld and listen with your hands and have an understanding of the tissue response;
- that you know and understand the correct hand positions for each technique and what the core intent and purpose of each is;
- that you are able to accurately and fluently describe both the core intent and what you are feeling as you treat.
Diplomate Certification

- complete a preceptorship programme; this is a US term referring to your attendance in clinic with an experienced practitioner (of approx 20 hours or, in the UK, this may be completed by TA-ing at an Advanced level course or by participating in a Comprehensive Therapy Programme),
- provide 5 case histories and
- either deliver a 6 hour CST presentation to an organised group or have an article on CST published by a third party organisation.
