Benefits of Transferring to Bowen College

 

Accreditation & Professional Recognition

Our program is the only program in North America recognized by the CEBHCP and the Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC). To receive insurance for Bowen Therapy and to practice professionally we recommend joining the CEBHCP as they will also issue you your professional Certification in Canada. To be recognized through this board you will need to complete the transfer process for practitioners with the desire to practice and be represented by Bowen College.

 

Worldwide Transfers Accepted for Credit

Bowen College accepts most training from across the world for credit into our program. The practical component of our program requires up to 90 hours of hands-on application in a classroom setting with an additional 10 case studies to be completed during training. As a professional in the field of BowenFirst™  Therapy, we understand you may have many years of practice and patient care and we want to credit you for this making our transfer process an excellent way to continue practicing in Canada.

 

Affiliations with Insurance Providers to Take Your Practice Anywhere in the World

If you wish to travel in the future our program is also recognized by the BTPA in the UK and we are recognized by the  IICT for insurance (International) which will allow you to be recognized and covered across the globe with our curriculum.

Transfer Details

What our practitioners are saying…

The process through transferring what I had previously known in Bowen Therapy, as well as Naturopathic Medicine, into Bowen College was a truly positive experience. Kathryn, whom helped me through the process, was very courteous, understanding and thoughtful. She took into consideration my background and gave me the opportunity to demonstrate what I know through the Accelerated Healing Workshop. Having already trained previously in Bowen Therapy, I thought it would be a good review for me. In fact, it was much more than a review – I had learned more about Bowen Therapy, healing and wellness, and more about my own healing capabilities. I felt empowered. 

 

Even though I had a prior learning assessment and was considered to be able to complete the Certified Bowen Health Therapist requirements, Bowen College considers more than just what I knew, but also what I can learn. I was offered the opportunity to take their advanced courses because they want to make sure I still get something out of this process which I am wholeheartedly grateful for. ~Dr. Romi Fung, ND
