Prerequisites for Enrollment at ICHTA
At the International Colon Hydrotherapy Training Academy (ICHTA), we are committed to upholding high standards in our training program to ensure our graduates are well-prepared for their roles as professional colon hydrotherapists. To this end, we have established the following prerequisites for enrollment in our training program. It’s important to note that these are recommendations, and exceptions can be made based on an individual’s interview and past experience.
Students should possess a High School Diploma or an equivalent qualification. This ensures that all our students have achieved High School Standards, providing a solid educational foundation for the advanced learning in our program.
Candidates who may not meet this educational criterion but demonstrate equivalent experience or learning through other means may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
We strongly recommend that each new student undergo a minimum of 10 colon hydrotherapy sessions prior to graduating. This experience is invaluable for understanding the procedure from a client’s perspective.
If a student has relevant healthcare experience or other mitigating circumstances, this requirement may be adjusted following a thorough review.
First Aid Certification:
A current first aid certificate or an equivalent certification is recommended. This ensures that our trainees are prepared to handle emergency situations during a colon hydrotherapy session.
Candidates with previous medical, nursing, or emergency response experience, or candidates that have demonstrated intention to complete their first aid training may have this requirement waived or modified.
We understand that each candidate brings unique experiences and skills to the table. Therefore, we consider each application holistically, taking into account personal interviews and past experiences. Our goal is to foster a diverse and skilled group of therapists who are passionate about advancing in the field of colon hydrotherapy.
