Professional Registration

As a School the policy of the Branch Directors is to recommend both Students and Graduates become Members of the Register of the Shiatsu Society (MRSS)

We would recommend that you join join the Shiatsu Society as a student member when you embark upon your Shiatsu training.

To become registered as a practitioner through the Society, you must gain the school's Shiatsu Diploma, then either sit the independant Shiatsu Society practical examination or enrol upon the post-graduate tutorial year (PGY) which exempts you from sitting their examination. To sit the Society's practical examination, or to commence their PGY, a minimum of three years must have elapsed since you commenced formal Shiatsu studies. Hence, to be awarded MRSS, it will take you a minimum of three years if you opt to sit the Society's practical exam, or a minimum of four years if you take the PGY option.

Currently, membership of the Shiatsu Society is £160 per annum for registered practitioners exclusive of professional indemnity / malpractice insurance. With the Society's block insurance scheme, you can remain a registered member for around £221 per annum.
