POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Registration Process

In order to enroll in one of IMPART`s Certification Programs, you must . . .

1.    Complete the Registration Form.

2.    Pay your 1-time Registration Fee

a.    $150 for 1 certification program

b.    $250 for 2 certification programs

Once you are officially registered . . .

1.    You will receive an official IMPART notebook.  You are encouraged to use this notebook to store all handouts received during your coursework (see later discussion).  Additionally, this notebook will include . . .

a.    A copy of your Registration Form, which will indicate your Registration Fee that has been paid and the amount due at the time of Certification. 

b.    A blank Authorization Form, which will be used to keep track of completed coursework and requirements

c.    A list of program requirements as of the date you have registered. 

d.    A copy of IMPART`s Policies and Procedures

e.    A copy of IMPART`s Code of Ethics

2.    You will lock in the course requirements as of the date of payment.  If changes are made to the program after this date (e.g., more hours or different coursework is required), then you have the option to continue under your current program or adopt the new program requirements.

Coursework

All coursework used to meet certification requirements must be taken with teachers authorized by IMPART. 

Courses designated with an asterisk (*) can be completed in-person or through home-study courses (which are currently being designed).  Home-study courses will include a required open-book quiz that will need to be completed and submitted before credit will be granted.

Courses may count toward more than one certificate (e.g., the Business 101 course can be counted toward both Certification as a Professional Psychic and Certification as a Professional Healer). 

After a course or workshop has been taken once, it can be retaken for FREE at anytime (i.e., audited).  However, the hours for an audited course or workshop cannot be counted twice toward a certificate.  (NOTE:  You cannot audit courses that are offered through the Learning Light Foundation or the Tuesday evening classes.) 

Some courses will be offered regularly (e.g., Tuesday & Thursday evenings).  All other coursework will be offered as often as is possible.  However, because the scheduling of certain classes and workshops may be limited, students are strongly encouraged to take workshops as soon as they are offered because the frequency of offerings cannot be guaranteed.

Certification courses through IMPART are occasionally used in certification programs by other agencies (e.g., Learning Light Foundation in Anaheim, CA).  These can be counted for both certification programs.  However, courses approved for other certification programs cannot be used to meet the certification programs through IMPART. 

If a course that is part of your curriculum is not being offered, an alternative course will be determined in consultation with IMPART faculty members.

Prices for workshops and courses are subject to change without notice.

Feedback Forms

After completing the majority of your coursework, you are expected to provide 3 sessions to clients who are willing to complete a Feedback Form.  Although not mandatory, it is strongly recommended that you find clients who are neither family nor friends.  IMPART can find clients for you, if needed. 

The top of each Feedback Form is to be completed by you (your name/date of session). 

You can either (a) have the client complete the Feedback Form immediately and then you can provide IMPART with a copy of the form or (b) you can provide the client with an envelope addressed to IMPART (with a stamp) and then IMPART will provide you with a copy of the completed Feedback Form when it is received. 

Copies of all three Feedback Forms must be received by IMPART before your certification will be finalized. 

NOTE:      The Feedback Forms should NOT be given to clients at the Learning Light Foundation`s Reader`s Studio or Healer`s Studio.  These clients pay the Learning Light for their sessions with you, and the Learning Light may not approve of you asking their clients to complete forms for a certification program that is not their own. 

Progress Report

In order to monitor your progress and provide more personalized attention and assistance, after approximately 50% of your coursework is completed, you are to schedule a private, one-on-one appointment with Anne (by phone or in person).  You will pay only 50% of Anne`s customary fee for this appointment, and the meeting is to be for a minimum of 30 minutes.  During the appointment . . .

1.  You are to provide Anne with a 15-minute session in your chosen specialty, such as healing, psychic reading (with or without tools), mediumship, channeling, automatic writing, spiritual art, pendulum work, muscle testing, etc.

2. You will receive feedback from Anne regarding your session.

3. The two of you will discuss your progress in the certification program, your insights regarding how you connect with Spirit and possible specialty(ies), your goals, and how Anne can assist you during the remainder of your program.

Certification Completion Interview

After completing the majority of your coursework, you are to schedule a private, one-on-one appointment with Anne (by phone or in person).  You will pay only 50% of Anne`s customary fee for this appointment, and the meeting is to be for a minimum of 60 minutes.  During the appointment . . .

1.  You are to provide Anne with a 30-minute session in your chosen specialty, such as healing, psychic reading (with or without tools), mediumship, channeling, automatic writing, spiritual art, pendulum work, muscle testing, etc.

2. You will receive feedback from Anne regarding your session.

3.  OPTIONAL:  If you would like to be included on Anne`s website as an official authorized practitioner, then you are to provide Anne with a written description of your work (in person or sent by email) that will be used to advertise your services on her website.  Anne will review this with you during your session and, if necessary, possibly suggest changes.  This description should be limited to 3-5 sentences and written in the 3^rd person (i.e., ``she`` or ``he``).  It should also include basic information, including location, email and/or website, contact phone number, and fees.  The two of you will discuss your accomplishments within the certification program and your future goals. 

Certification Fee

Once all requirements have been met, you will . . .

1.    Submit a copy of your completed Authorization Form.

2.    Pay your Registration Fee of

a.    $200 for 1 program

b.    $300 for 2 programs

3.    Receive your certification of completion from IMPART.

4.    OPTIONAL:  Your referral information will be added to Anne`s website, if you desire to be listed.  You will be added to the website as soon as you provide (a) your approved description of your services, including fees, location, and contact info and (b) a professionally taken head shot that will be included with your description on the website. 

Renewal Fee

If you elect to be added to Anne`s website as an authorized referral, there will be a $50 renewal fee due every two (2) years.  At this time, we will contact you to (a) confirm that you still would like to be listed on the website and (b) update your contact information, if needed.  If we cannot contact you for some reason, your listing will be removed; however, your listing can be reinstated at any time simply by paying your Renewal Fee in full. 

Recordkeeping/Authorization Form

IMPART will keep copies of your Registration Form and a copy of your completed Authorization Form.  IMPART will also record when your certification is complete.  However, all other record keeping is the sole responsibility of the student.  An Authorization Form will be provided to each student, and Anne (or a designee) must sign off on each course or requirement when it is completed.   

Students are encouraged to be very careful in the care of their Authorization Form.  If it is lost, it will be the students responsibility to provide IMPART with either (a) copies of handouts from each course that was completed or (b) a brief oral or written summary of the contents of each course that exceeds the descriptions provided in written or electronic form (e.g., such as information provided on Anne`s website). 

Grandfather Clause

Many students will begin taking courses from Anne or IMPART certified teachers before they decide to enroll in a certification program.  These previously completed courses can certainly be applied to a certification program.  For these students . . .

1)    The specific requirements of your certification program will begin on the date that you complete the Registration Process (see previous description).   

2)    All previously completed coursework must either be proven by:

a)    Showing handouts from the course

            OR

b)    Provide a brief oral or written summary of the contents of each course that exceeds the descriptions provided in written or electronic form (e.g., such as information provided on Anne`s website). 

OR

c)    Anne`s approval (i.e., we will discuss)

Miscellaneous
 

There is no time limit to completing the chosen certification program.  The student can complete coursework as quickly or as slowly as s/he chooses.

The Certification Program for Professional Healers has an age limit of 18 years or older because the program requires that the student become a Reiki Master or Karuna Reiki Master, which is only taught to those over the age of 18 years. 

All students and faculty must agree to follow IMPART`s Code of Ethics. 

Although students may feel they are making progress toward the completion of the required number of hours of coursework, other non-tangible requirements are also being assessed by the faculty of IMPART (e.g., adherence to Ethical Standards, progress in skills).  If a student does not meet these non-tangible requirements, they will be told this and provided with opportunities for improvement.  If improvement is not noted, then IMPART has the right, at any time, to discontinue the certification process.  If this happens, then 50% of the student’s initial Registration Fee will be refunded.  Tuition for all completed coursework will be non-refundable. 

Once your certification is completed and if you elect to be added to the authorized referral list on Anne`s website, you will remain on this website for the duration of its existence.  However, IMPART has the right to remove the practitioner from the site if they are found to be in violation of IMPART`s Code of Ethics.
