Practitioner Proficiency Levels
 

Starting in 2004, Instructors & Practitioners who choose to submit copies of all certificates in kinesiology and related studies may apply to participate in the new internationally-linked proficiency level designations. Participation is not mandatory.
These new levels support those members who have invested significant time and energy developing their practices, meanwhile still maintaining our previous membership categories which welcome members who choose to support kinesiology in differing ways, including ‘just’ J supporting their family and friends, or working with ‘just’ J introductory level classes!
