General Information

A letter is sent to each certificant whose CE requirement is due, asking him or her to sign the bottom of the letter, attesting to the fact that he/she has fulfilled the CE requirement. Then, ten (10) percent of all certificants are randomly audited, and they are requested to provide proof of having met the CE requirement. This means that they are required to submit a copy of their CE certificate from an ARCB-approved provider, or they must have submitted a previously approved ARCB application form for independent study or for attendance at a nonARCB-approved class, event, or activity.

Definitions

Continuing Education (CE) is defined as any planned learning experience which builds on the education gained in an initial program of training in Reflexology and which has been approved through a peer review mechanism recognized by the ARCB. Each learning experience must be at least one contact hour and designed to acquire or improve skills, knowledge, or behavior needed to promote a Reflexologist’s professional or technical development, or advance career goals, and to foster personal growth and development.

If a certificant attends a course through an ARCB-approved provider, he/she receives a CE certificate from the provider. At the conclusion of the course, the attendee does not have to submit a copy of this certificate to ARCB unless specifically requested to do so as outlined above. Click here for the list of current ARCB-approved providers.

Non ARCB-approved courses may include, but are not limited to, such things as aromatherapy, homeopathy, spiritual studies, etc. If a certificant chooses this option, then he/she will have to submit an application form to ARCB along with the appropriate fee, requesting approval of these CE credits. Please click here for the Non ARCB-approved Courses Application.

Independent study is an activity developed and directed by the individual learner. Independent study may include, but is not limited to, such things as writing articles, watching videos, serving on a Board, delivering a lecture, or practicing skills independently. As in the case of nonARCB-approved courses, if a certificant elects to do independent study, then he/she will need to fill out an application form and submit it to ARCB along with the appropriate fee. Please click here for the Independent Study Application.

A Multi-Activity Provider is defined as an individual, firm, corporation, association, group, agency, institution, organization, or partnership that has developed and offers more than one CE activity (seminar, workshop, convention, course, teleconference, etc.), which has a mechanism in place to assure adherence to ARCB standards.

A Single CE Activity is a teacher directed learning experience planned by the provider and may be a seminar, workshop, convention, course, teleconference, etc. Attendance by the learner is required. Please click here for the Single CE Activity Application.
