Training Process

Students are encouraged to consult with the instructors at any time they wish with regards to their progress.

Certification as a KMI Practitioner is dependent upon completing these five requirements, as well as competence and maturity in practicing the work in class. Certification may be withheld pending such completion. There is an administrative charge for written work turned in after the completion of class.

Manual Technique Evaluation
In addition to the academic work, to be certified, students must be able to deliver a competent structural bodywork series, as demonstrated during the overall class by:

1. The ability to describe relationships in the body on the basis of a visual assessment (bodyreading), build an overall picture from these relationships, and structure a session or series strategy based on that picture,

2. A wide vocabulary of touch tools which are applied appropriately to differing situations,

3. Professional demeanor with regards to appearance and timekeeping, and emotional maturity in dealings with models, classmates, and teachers, and finally,

4. The student’s work on the instructors. This is a valuable tool for student feedback and for instructor assessment. It is recommended that students take advantage of this throughout the course. There is no better way to help with application of the work, body use, and depth.

As a KMI graduate, you may re-take any portion of the training for half of the tuition.
