Jin Shin Jyutsu Professional Practitioner Course Certification

After successful completion of all three levels of the Jin Shin Jyutsu Professional Practitioner Course, the participant undertakes three case studies. Each case study is comprised of five sessions. The case studies are to be documented in the format provided and added to the participant’s online Student File. Please keep me informed about the JSJ Professional practitioner course.

Steps to Certification

• Complete the Professional Practitioner Course with a passing grade.
• Apply for Jin Shin Jyutsu Certification with $375 fee.
• Submit proof of current certification in First Aid / CPR/ AED.
• Document and submit three Case Studies and receive a passing evaluation.
• Pass the Comprehensive Examination.
• Schedule a Hands-On Evaluation and Interview with an authorized Jin Shin Jyutsu instructor and receive a passing evaluation.*

*Separate fee, payable to instructor

Only participants who have successfully completed the Professional Practitioner Course are able to apply for certification at this time.

Jin Shin Jyutsu Traditional Training Pathway to Certification

The Jin Shin Jyutsu Mary Burmeister Institute values its many long time students and practitioners, and in the future there will be an alternate path to certification, called the Traditional Training Pathway. The TTP will recognize traditional Jin Shin Jyutsu coursework and a practitioner’s years of practice, experience, and competency, while preserving the same criteria and standards that Professional Practitioner Course participants must meet. Details of this pathway are currently under design and will be posted here when completed.

Practitioner Certification Renewal

Certified Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioners are expected to maintain and develop their knowledge and skills through experience and continuing education. Jin Shin Jyutsu’s recertification program encourages life-long learning and continuing professional development.

Recertification is required every three years. Although a reminder will be sent, practitioners are responsible for renewing their certification. There will be a location on the JSJCP website for recertification and the fee will be listed there. The requirements of recertification are:

• A minimum of forty hours of attendance at Mary Burmeister Jin Shin Jyutsu Institute approved classes. If the practitioner has never attended a basic 5-Day class, the practitioner must attend one during their first recertification round. Practitioners who have attended a basic 5-Day class may attend JSJ classes of their choice.
• Updated First Aid / CPR / AED certification (must follow the NJ Massage and Bodywork Board’s requirement*)
• Updated 2-hour Ethics class (see list of approved providers**)
• Complete the Recertification Application
• Send recertification fee

* Current certification in C.P.R., First Aid, and use of an automated external defibrillator (A.E.D.) from courses approved by the American Heart Association or a substantially similar course approved by the American Red Cross, the National Safety Council, Coyne First Aide Inc., The American Safety and Health Institute, or EMP International Inc.

** Approved Ethics courses: Susan Lieberman’s online course and several selected online/distance courses, to be announced.
