Recognition and cooperation
The Kientalerhof works closely together with the professional associations, the registration offices for therapists (EMR & ASCA) and the “Organisation der Arbeitswelt Komplementärtherapie” (OdA KT, Organization for Complementary Therapy in Switzerland), which is responsible for conducting the Higher Professional Examination for the degree “Complementary Therapist with Federal Diploma”.
The courses in Shiatsu and Craniosacral Therapy at Kientalerhof have been accredited by the OdA KT since May 1, 2016 and lead to the Branchenzertifikat KT. This is a prerequisite for admission to the higher professional examination (federal diploma). Further information on training with a federal certificate can be found here.

Certified according to quality label EduQua
The Kientalerhof continues to develop its quality in a continuous process and is certified with the quality label EduQua (according to the new 2012 guidelines).
This ensures that the training and further education of the individual body therapy schools meet the current requirements and quality guidelines. Furthermore, graduates acquire the best possible prerequisites for obtaining the necessary recognition and are able to successfully integrate themselves professionally and socially.
