Most schools offer craniosacral training that is recognized by the Swiss Society for Craniosacral Therapy Cranio Suisse and therefore also by most supplementary health insurance companies. When looking for a suitable training institute and craniosacral training, make sure that you also complete at least 150 hours of basic medical knowledge in order to meet the requirements of the EMR (Experiential Medical Register). As a rule, you can complete this conventional medical training directly at your training institute during your craniosacral training. In addition, the new Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) for complementary therapists is federally recognized.

Craniosacral training takes place alongside your job and usually extends over several years, so that a reduction or even termination of your employment is not necessary.

The orientation of your basic education does not matter for craniosacral training, but schools are usually expected to require that you have a vocational training or upper-secondary level qualification, whatever form it takes.

In order to expand your craniosacral training and be admitted to the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) in Complementary Therapy, you will need to obtain the Complementary Therapist Certificate (BZ) from the OdA KT. You can obtain this certificate as part of a training course, but also via an equivalence procedure (GWV).

The Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) for complementary therapists for the method of craniosacral therapy is a federally recognized craniosacral training course.
