Continuing Education (CEs)

32 hours every two years

 

After becoming a professional Bowenwork® practitioner, you are required to take a minimum of four days (32 contact hours) of approved courses every two years in order to maintain active status with the Bowenwork Academy USA and BTAA.

Eight of those hours must be practitioner days, which are a review of the Modules 1-6 material, variations and combinations of moves, review of difficult cases, and interesting anatomical considerations. The remaining 24 hours may be other classes such as Ossie and Elaine's specialized procedures and other continuing education classes offered at various times.

We require these continuing education hours because we have found that it is amazingly easy over time to migrate off points, lose confidence in performing procedures one hasn't used routinely, or forget why we do a particular procedure in the first place. We want to assure your competency not only so we can promote you on our web site with confidence, but also for your greatest success.

Some of the courses currently available in the United States are:


Practitioner Days A&B (Module 8), taken together or separately: Part A, all lower body procedures, exercises and protocols. Part B, all upper body procedures, exercises and protocols.  


Attending Bowtech conferences

Within each two-year period, a maximum of eight continuing education hours may be earned by attending Bowtech conferences.  

 

 

Specialised Procedures 1 (Module 9)

Prerequisites apply including:

bullet

Completion of Practitioner Days A & B (2 days) (Module 8) course after completion of Module 7 and prior to taking the class. 

bullet

An interval of at least nine months is required between the completion of Module 7 and taking the SBP1.

bullet

You must also be recommended by an instructor. 

bullet

You must be current with the Academy (fees and CE hours)

Upon taking two SBP1 classes, your website listing will indicate your completion of this level.

Specialised Procedures 2 (Module 11)

You are required to complete SP1 twice (Modules 9 and 10) before being eligible to take SBP2.  In addition, you will need to successfully pass a written assessment of SBP1 before you are eligible to take SBP2. A minimum of six months must elapse between completion of SBP1 and SBP2 to enable you to integrate and apply the newly-learned procedures.  You must be current with the Academy (fees and CE hours).

Special Electives

Occasionally an instructor from another country comes to the U.S. to offer a BTAA-approved class.  These are advertised in Bowen Hands and on the website.
 

 Using Bowenwork to satisfy other continuing education requirements:

Modules 1-6 and  Specialized Procedures I & II qualify for 16 NCBTMB credit hours each.

Note:  Only active (fee and C.E. are current)  professional Bowenwork practitioners are listed for referrals on the Bowtech® and Bowenwork websites
