In order to support your competency and education in Raindrop Technique, the following steps are necessary: 1. Purchase the required literature (see “Helpful Resources”) 2. Review sections relevant to Raindrop Technique (watch DVD, read up on the oils used in the technique) 3. Attend the Level 1 Raindrop Technique training. Receive a certificate of attendance upon completion of this one day training. 4. Perform at least 15 Raindrop Technique sessions (on a minimum of 5 different recipients) 5. Have each new recipient complete a Client History Form 6. After every Raindrop Technique session, complete your log book (including recipient signature) 7. When you feel competent, and after a minimum of 15 Raindrop Technique sessions, attend Level 2. 8. Level 2 is designed primarily for those who wish to gain insurance cover for performing Raindrop Technique professionally, and have their technique perfected. It is also ideal for those who wish to use Raindrop Technique for home use, knowing that they have a professional-level of skill and understanding. Level 2 is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to go on to Level 3 (teacher training). 9. Because of the high pass mark (80%) required to achieve a Certificate of Competency in Level 2, we highly recommend that you re-attend Level 1 before attending Level 2 (you will receive a 50% discount off the Level 1 training fees), particularly if you have any doubts about your comprehension and skills in the practical and safety aspects of Raindrop Technique. 10. Alternatively, you may wish to contact one of our teachers and perform a raindrop technique on them before booking in for your level 2. Level 2 requires you to (a) have a high level of competency in performing Raindrop Technique, as would be expected from any professional, and (b) have a thorough understanding of how to work with a client history form, to determine appropriate safety modifications. Ensure that you are highly conversant with your Level 1 notes before attending Level 2. 11. Level 2 is a one day assessment, and comprises both a 100 point written assessment (mostly multiple choice) and a 100 point practical assessment. Level 2 also contains a number of written and practical questions/skills which must be answered/performed correctly in order to pass Level 2. These are called “instant fail” segments. You will additionally receive a score from the teacher, and from your recipient in the practical section. 12. On completion of Level 2's written and practical exam, you will be given detailed written feedback from your teacher. 13. If you have received a pass mark of 80% or more on your Level 2, and have answered all “instant fail” questions correctly, you will be issued with a Certificate of Competency. 14. If you received a mark of less than 80%, or received any "instant fails", your teacher will indicate to you the areas that need revision, and will make recommendations on what steps you should take in order to resit Level 2. In some instances, you will only be required to resit a part of Level 2's assessment process. This will be at the discretion of the teacher. 15. You may resit Level 2 at any stage that you feel ready. 16. Once you have your Certificate of Competency, you can register with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) for Raindrop Technique. 17. Once registered with IICT you may then obtain public liability and professional risks insurance cover for Raindrop Technique through OAMPS Insurance Brokers.

There are a number of ways you can do this:   (a) Re-sit Level 1, or (b) Re-sit Level 2, or (c) Train in Raindrop Technique with an institution recognised by us, and provide proof of attendance, or (d) Perform a Raindrop Technique on one of our recognised teachers, and receive a letter of approval.
