Please note: There is a possiblity of adding an additional 100-hour NON-CONTACT hours by application only.
*Prerequisite: Completion of GSY Practitioner Level-1 and Level-2 training courses (either in-person or online)
We are working diliegently to publish Level 3. This course is an add-on for those who want to learn how to assist clients by a hands-on approach or teach others to assist clients. Level 1 and Level 2 build off each other but Level 3 is a separate training for those interested in taking their practice to a new level.
If you choose to purchase all three levels together, we will let you know when Level 3 is available. Due to the nature of this training, our videos and handouts being complete and clear are of upmost importance and it is taking more time to complete.
As with all purchases, there are no refunds for Level 3 when purchased as a bundle due to publishing the course taking more time.
Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to be notified when it becomes available.
