Certification – On what basis is this given?
The quality and content of this International Certification in Breathwork Mastery RBM are guided by recommendations from the International Breathwork Foundation Network, the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, and the course requirements for qualifications. This course is the same as the nationally recognised Diploma-level qualification in the Australian training framework, delivered from 1998 to 2016. The course was also offered at the Advanced Diploma level.
About participation in Breathwork Mastery RBM training from Alakh Analda
If you are new to the training, I recommend this training if you have the time and resources. Becoming a Breathwork Mastery RBM professional is a lifestyle that requires ongoing personal development and mindful self-awareness. The time and commitment break down to about two hours a day for 18 months, unless you can apply for RPL. This is profound training, and I am only the guardian of the courses because the distinctions are universal laws about breath.
More on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
If you haven’t had personal sessions yet, for stage 1 requirements you can get 36 live online personal sessions for 1, 2, or 3 participants, all with the same camera in the same room, with Alakh or any Breathwork Mastery RBM professional. To receive recognition of prior learning for all stages, Alakh will send you a form to fill out, then provide a quote. The more material that you provide, the less your fee will be. This includes referrals, dates, times, peer reports, and anything that validates your experience. Your quote will be an hourly estimate for the time it takes a Breathwork Mastery RBM professional to complete the assessment.
Alternative ways to gain more experience in Breathwork Mastery RBM?
You can work on a win-win project with a Breathwork Mastery RBM professional and generate groups, trainings, or workshops where client income pays, or partially pays, your RPL fees. And at the same time, you get to demonstrate competence. An example of someone who can apply for RPL is someone who has extensively assisted a Breathwork Mastery RBM Trainer. Applying to Alakh is an alternative to doing RPL with The School of Breathwork, or another group that has negotiated to deliver the Breathwork Mastery RBM curriculum.
How to manage Stage 1 – if you are new to the Training?
Your personal session fees are negotiable. We work on win-win principles, and you can propose options to Alakh to reach your 36 personal sessions on Breathwork Mastery RBM. Many participants have paid their fees, or partially paid them, this way.
