Level I Certification Requirements

Level I Certification Requirements*

1. 60 Hours from a combination of Workshops, Intensives, Immersions, and Retreats taught by approved level III instructors***
2. Ethics Course and Ethics Test (always offered at annual testing location)
3. Either a massage license, minister’s license or an official healthcare practitioner’s license
4. A one page essay: “What is Sat Nam Rasayan?”
5. Practical Test for Level I certification (Requires the tester to open the space and release an assigned muscle. Given by Sadhu Singh)

When the above requirements have been met by students, they are qualified to test for Level I; they are not automatically Level I.  Testing may be repeated up to four times. If students pass conditionally, they are assigned, with various restrictions, to work with a Level III or Level III Candidate student instructor until the student is retested and passes unconditionally.

After students have passed Level I unconditionally:

• They will be sent a Level I Certificate from the School of Sat Nam Rasayan
• Are official students of Sat Nam Rasayan.  
• Can participate in Sat Nam Rasayan Clinics with an assigned mentor.

Level I students of Sat Nam Rasayan are not allowed to teach classes or practice sessions, and are not allowed to charge clients for Sat Nam Rasayan treatments.  

*It is the students’ area representatives and the individual student’s responsibility to tally up the number of requirements that will qualify a student to test for a level. If verification is needed, the area rep should have registration information available from the past five years. Students may also use cancelled checks or credit card statements as proof of attendance. Rome and Los Angeles have retreat/conference information on file.

**Only intensives, immersions and retreats/conferences taught by Sadhu or an approved level III instructor meet the requirements that apply to testing for certification.

***Any combination of one or more event types is acceptable. A day course cannot count for more than 5 hours. A retreat cannot count for more than 4 days.
