Training Pathway

Training Pathway

Each stage clarifies description, requirements, permitted activity, limits on claims, and review status.

Progress without confusion

Training level is not the same as public authority.

Students may train sincerely for years without being authorised to represent or teach. The pathway keeps learning, assistance, study groups, and instructor recognition separate so the organisation remains honest and safe.
