Questions and answers

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.

The path to becoming a complementary therapist with a federal diploma leads via the KT industry certificate, supervision, professional experience and passing the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE). A preparatory course can be very useful as support for the examinations.

After the complementary therapist training, the following advanced courses can be attended:

  • Courses and offers from training providers accredited by the OdA KT
  • Specialization in specific target groups such as
    • Infants
    • Children
    • Teenagers
    • Occupational groups exposed to risk
  • Specialization in specific complaints
    • Consequences of stress
    • Consequences of an accident
  • University of Applied Sciences
    • Bachelor/Master of Science (FH) in Osteopathy
