Frequently asked questions

What if I attend a program that isn't IASI-recognized?

You won't be eligible for the CESI or Board Certification (BCSI), which can significantly limit your professional mobility and recognition.

Can I transfer hours?

Yes. Up to 230 hours can be transferred:

  • 120 hours Anatomy & Physiology (U.S. programs)
  • 80 hours SI-relevant content
  • 20 hours Ethics & Therapeutic Relationship
  • 10 hours Business Development

Transferred hours must come from government-approved institutions, IASI Recognized Programs, approved Anatomy & Physiology coursework, or ethics and professional development training. Documentation is required and is subject to each program's approval.

Are online classes accepted?

Yes, with limits. Up to 100 of the 500 core SI hours may be completed online. Hands-on Structural Integration training must be in person with qualified supervision.

A choice that shapes your career

Choosing an IASI Recognized Program is more than choosing a school. It's choosing a defined professional pathway, eligibility for Board Certification, alignment with established standards, and long-term credibility in the profession.
