Class Standards
Class standards listed below, are minimum requirements for Komyo ReikiDo classes. Duration of classes are not restricted & may be extended where necessary or broken down into increments to suit your timetable & teaching style as long as the minimum class time of each level is reached.
Official KRD manuals are to be used for KRD courses. KRD manuals may not be reproduced in any way, that is, including unauthorised additions or deleting information. Any additional techniques (that is, techniques not included in the manuals), would generally be considered non-Komyo ReikiDo or 'add ins'. If you are teaching 'add ins', please contact us.

Please note that the criteria below, may not reach the minimum requirements for your local Reiki Associations. Please check with your association for teaching criteria, if any. Reiki associations may have their preferred insurance providers, up to date information on local Government requirements for Complementary Therapists & their own criteria for practitioners/teachers.
