Choosing a school or practitioner
If you are considering a school or teacher, you should always consult them about their basic approach, which will probably bear some resemblance to one of those mentioned above. You also need to check qualifications of teaching staff. Standards are set within many countries by recognized organizations, and are currently being harmonized within Europe and internationally. These organizations govern publicity, education and ethical standards for Shiatsu in their areas, and supply information on schools, teachers and practitioners.
In the UK the Shiatsu Society sets standards for teachers and practitioners. Students of Shiatsu must gain 500 hours of study with registered teachers over a minimum period of three years, before they can apply for assessment by the Society for entry to the professional register. Teachers must spend at least two years as registered practitioners before they can apply to join the teachers' register. Teachers must be registered for five years before they can become principal of a registered school.
