Worldwide Requirements to be placed on the Registry as a WATSU® Practitioner

Note: the rate of progress through any of our programs is based on the successful completion of each step. Many students benefit by auditing a course (repeating it at a usually reduced cast), or by attending a supervision, or logging additional practice sessions, before continuing to the next step. lnstructors will note when these are required. Since audits and supervisions can help fulfill any requirement for electives, they do net usually lengthen a student's overall program.
