Q. What are the requirements to become a professional sound therapist? 

There are currently no defined requirements to become a professional sound therapist, as sound therapy is a self-regulated industry where each training provider sets their own requirements. 

To become a professional sound therapist with us at International Academy of Sound Therapy, the minimum amount of study is our Level 2 Advanced Practitioner Certificate.  This is a total of 4-days in person in class plus the required 64 hours to complete 32 case study treatments.  This equals a total of 32 hours in person at the Academy, plus 64 hours home practice, a total of 96 hours of study for eligibility to practice in Ireland and many other countries where you can obtain insurance.

If you would like to obtain further specialist skills you may continue further to complete your Diploma and Advanced Diploma.

Q. Are there any pre-requisities to study with Irish Academy of Sound Therapy?

A:

Anyone with an interest in the subject matter and fluent in English language is eliglble to study with us.

Q. Do you require client case study treatments to be completed after Level 1 ?

Ah definitely not – as workplace trainers, we work to the highest international standards for training in Complementary Therapies.  This means we don’t allow our students to do any unsupervised clinical practice (this is what case-study treatments are) until after they have completed all 3 Levels of their practitioner training  and therefore competency assessed to advanced Level 3 Practitioner standard.

I am currently studying to be a Psychotherapist/Counsellor, but won’t be finished for another year. Can I still do your training?

A: Yes of course you can.

Just be sure that you have enough time to complete your studies.

Are your Tutors qualified to teach adults?

A:  Yes.  Our Founder is an ex-College Lecturer in her homeland Australia who studied adult education at Edith Cowan University for a Bachelor of Arts (Training & Development) and insists that all guest teachers at the Academy are also suitably qualified and experienced in teaching adults.

Q. Is your Training Accredited?

A: Yes our training is accredited with SHAI (Sound Healing Association of Ireland) and The CNMA (Complementary & Natural Medicine Association))

Our training also satsifies the requirements for accreditation and registration with most other holistic accreditation organisations not listed above, however we don’t have a discount scheme with them.
