Setting the Highest Standard Across the Nation To Which Professional Reflexologists Aspire
What is ARCB?
Why Should I Take the Exam?
Today there is a revolutionary inclusion of
complementary therapies into health care professions. Qualified Reflexologists with the
highest standards of credentials are being sought by the public and from the health care
industry. With this acceptance of Reflexology as a valuable and noninvasive therapy comes
the responsibility of the profession to provide qualified practitioners who meet
established national standards. As a result of this demand, leaders in Reflexology created
the American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) in 1991. The goal of national
certification is to promote Reflexology through the recognition of competent professional
practitioners. Reflexologists who are involved in the national certification process
promote higher standards of education, ensure public safety, and demonstrate their
commitment to the profession through self-improvement. With the identification of
nationally certified practitioners there can be confidence in the quality of services
offered.
What is ARCB?
The American Reflexology Certification Board is a
nonprofit corporation. As an independent testing agency, it offers a national
certification program. Its primary aim is to certify the competency of those
Reflexologists who practice on a professional basis and wish to be recognized as meeting
national standards. Your involvement with ARCB and national certification is the next step
after you have completed a course of study in reflexology and have further developed your
hands-on skills by working on clients. ARCB is an independent testing agency not a
membership organization. It is not affiliated with any association, training program or
instructor. Nor does it accredit teachers or curricula. The ARCB program does not
interfere with, nor negate, certification programs offered by different schools. ARCB
encourages each school to test its students before awarding a diploma or certification of
completion. ARCB certification is an important step offering increased credibility for
both the practitioner and the field.
Why Should I Take the
Exam?
ARCB testing recognizes an individual on the national
level who has met certain educational and skill standards within the field. It
distinguishes the professional from the non-professional, setting apart and bringing
credibility to the practitioner who is committed to excellence.
