The requirement for continuing education begins with accreditation as a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner. Thereafter, in order to maintain Bowenwork skills and accreditation, practitioners must complete 32 contact hours of Bowtech-approved continuing education every two years, with the requirement due on the anniversary of the accreditation date.
There are three categories of continuing education classes. Of the 32 hours required each two years, at least 16 hours must be from the Category 1 classes. The remaining hours may be from any category.
Category 1:
(Review of Bowtech training courses. Each 8 hour day is equivalent to 8 CE hours.)
- Modules 1 to 6
- Module 8
- Module 9 & 10 (Specialized Procedures 1) Advanced
- Modules 11 & 12 (Specialized Procedures 2) Advanced
- Practitioner Day A: Review Modules 1-6 lower body procedures
- Practitioner Day B: Review Modules 1-6 upper body procedures
- Advanced Seminar Prerequisites apply, including the completion of Module 8 at intervals of at least three months over a period of six-nine months after completion of Module 7
Category 2:
(These Bowtech-approved workshops are listed in the same drop-down menu on the “Learn Bowtech” search page on www.Bowtech.com.)
These are designed to deepen the understanding of applying Bowenwork procedures in specialized areas of interest as well as reviews from different perspectives. Category 2 CE workshops earn eight contact hours per day.
Category 3:
(Other Bowtech/Bowenwork endorsed courses that broaden the practitioner’s general knowledge base.)
A Category 3 course may contain some practical Bowenwork; however, the emphasis is more theoretical and includes a range of options to address different aspects related to practicing Bowenwork.
Bowtech Conference attendance earns four hours per conference day, with a maximum of eight hours in any two-year period eligible for credit. Each 8 hour day is equivalent to 4 CE hours.
Other courses that are approved by Bowtech for continuing education are listed in the drop-down menu on the “Learn Bowtech” search page at www.Bowtech.com. Not every course is available in all countries. Additional courses are continually under development to broaden the range of courses that qualify toward the continuing education requirement of 32 hours every two years.
