For many interested people, the training path to become a complementary therapist is unclear. Training to become a complementary therapist can be completed in many different methods, such as craniosacral therapy, shiatsu, yoga or breathing therapy, all of which are classified as complementary therapy. As a rule, you complete a basic course in the chosen method. This allows you to find the method that suits you best. The individual methods are then combined to form the Tronc Commun courses. The Tronc Commun course teaches the basics of conventional medicine, psychology and profession-specific principles such as ethics, human nature, marketing and therapeutic communication. The training generally takes at least 4 years, as it is very extensive and is usually completed alongside the profession. The intermediate qualification is a specialist certificate. An internship is also part of the training in order to internalize and apply what has been learned. The goal of the training in complementary therapy is the federal qualification, i.e. the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE), after which you are awarded the title of federally certified complementary therapist.

In further training as a qualified complementary therapist you learn:

  • Training in the complementary therapy method
  • Conventional medical principles and emergencies
  • Social science basics
  • Occupation-specific basics
  • Mentored practical work
  • Written work
  • 24 h self-experience
  • Diploma thesis

Since 2015, the examination regulations have been approved by SERI, the State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation SERI, and now make it possible to obtain a federal diploma as a complementary therapist.

In order to be admitted to the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) "Complementary Therapist with Federal Diploma", interested candidates must have a degree at upper-secondary level or an equivalent qualification as well as the industry certificate of the Organization of the Working World of Complementary Therapy (Oda KT). In addition, at least two years of professional experience in complementary therapy with a workload of at least 50 percent in the last two years prior to registration or three years of professional experience with 30 percent professional activity in the last three years must be proven. In addition, 36 hours of supervision with approved supervisors in the last two to three years before registering for the examination.

Thanks to the complementary therapist training, the following tasks can be performed:

  • Complementary therapists respond empathetically to the needs of clients and support them in developing their own personality.
  • Complementary therapists design the therapy process in a method-specific way with interactive touch, movement, breath and energy work. They specifically challenge the self-regulatory powers of their clients. They convey new physical experiences and initiate self-awareness and recovery processes.
  • Complementary therapy therapists work mainly independently and on their own responsibility, but are also employed and work as part of an interdisciplinary team, for example in a health or rehabilitation center, in hospitals or clinics.
  • The title of complementary therapist with a federal diploma can be obtained by therapists with an industry certificate KT in various methods of complementary therapies.
