Supporting Excellence in Reflexology Education
ACARET is the accreditation organization responsible for setting educational standards for the profession of reflexology in America. ACARET Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental peer review process by the reflexology education community. ACARET offers accreditation for (1) reflexology curriculum and (2) individual educators who meet ACARET criteria.
Accreditation of Reflexology Course Curriculum is a separate application process from the application for an individual educator. Accreditation as a reflexology educator is awarded the credentials of: AAEd, ACARET Accredited Educator. This credentialing for individual teachers is not an endorsement or accreditation of their courses or content of courses. An educator can be accredited and a reflexology course curriculum can be accredited, however this requires two different application processes. Accreditation for Course Curriculum will soon be available.
On our site, you will learn more about the ACARET Board of Directors , our mission statement,
who is eligible to apply for accreditation and the benefits of accreditation for individual reflexology educators and/or owners of reflexology courses.
To help you Find ACARET Accredited Educators (AAEd credentialed teachers of reflexology), we provide a database listed by State. We also provide links to other professional reflexology organizations.
ACARET is part of the Five Elements of the Reflexology Profession:
- The Individual Reflexologist;
- State Associations;
- The American Reflexology Certification Board (practitioner certification agency);
- The Reflexology Association of America (national membership organization);
- ACARET, a California non-profit mutual benefit corporation, is the accrediting body for voluntary accreditation of educational curricula and individual educators.
