Qualifications
You also need to send a copy of the relevant qualifications of each therapist that carries out treatments at the premises.
We only accept qualifications that appear on the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (OFQUAL) site. Visit the Register of Regulated Qualifications website.
If you intend to offer a treatment where nationally regulated qualifications are not available, you will be asked to supply further information for consideration.
Overseas qualifications
Practitioners with qualifications gained overseas must submit them to UK NARIC. The qualification comparison must include specific names of treatments and not just an overall grade. This supports your application to provide those treatments.
