This Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma is the highest professional recognition for Reiki practitioners in the United Kingdom. Qualified students will be eligible to apply to the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council and receive the CNHC Quality Mark.
The course is taught over a minimum of 9 months, however, there is no upper time limit.
It combines Japanese and western Reiki, metaphysical principles and esoteric traditions to provide an integrated perspective on wellbeing, health and healing. It is based on modules and includes the traditional Reiki 1 and 2 courses. Students do not need to register for the Diploma from the beginning but can decide after having taken Reiki 1 or 2.
The Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma is an international professional qualification which demonstrates that the student has followed a specific programme of study that adheres to the National Occupational Standards (NOS) and Core Curriculum for Reiki training (as devised by the Reiki Council).
This programme is accredited by the UK Reiki Federation for registration with the government funded Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the independent UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners.
It is designed to enable students to gain competence and confidence to professionally work as a Reiki Practitioner.
Registered CNHC Reiki Practitioners receive the Quality Mark and can work in professional environments where verification is required, such as the National Health Service (NHS), GP surgeries, professional bodies, and some private healthcare companies. GPs can refer their patients to professional practitioners on the CNHC register.

Testimonials
Giancarlo is a knowledgeable, calm, humorous and patient Reiki Master. I had been attending his online healing and Reiki share sessions through lockdown whilst following his spiritual blogs and always knew if I did any further training, it would be with him. I recently completed the Level 2 Reiki Diploma, a year-long training with Giancarlo and what a journey it has been! The training is an immersive and experiential process, which if you are willing to commit yourself to fully, can be transformative. I am forever grateful for how I have grown and guided to make reiki an integral part of my life and can now use it support others. Thank you to Giancarlo for the support and teachings and for putting me in touch with a wonderful group of people. I would thoroughly recommend training with Giancarlo.

“I recently completed the Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma with Giancarlo Serra, Master Teacher and member of the UK Reiki Federation. I can only praise Giancarlo for his professionalism and the robustness of his training program which is fully approved by the UK Reiki Federation for registration with the CNHC. This is achieved through a number of face-to-face sessions, Reiki Practice, online group supervision, the completion of questionnaires, case studies and self-treatments in addition to revision of supportive material provided by Giancarlo throughout the year training. I would say that this program is really Top Class and would recommend it to anyone that is serious about becoming a Reiki Practitioner and would like to benefit from outstanding quality training. I continue to take advantage of Giancarlo’s offerings and cannot thank him enough for all the learnings, wisdom and advice provided during the last year. Thank you so much Giancarlo for everything you are and give unconditionally!”

I feel very grateful to have discovered Giancarlo as a Reiki teacher – but calling him that seems to do him an injustice as he has been a wonderful spiritual mentor for me. I have completed Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 and now my Reiki Diploma all with him. What a wonderful experience it has been. Giancarlo helps all his students along the way to ensure we achieve our full potential.
For anyone wanting to do Level 2, I would really encourage you to look at the Diploma afterwards – but not for the accreditation. It takes your understanding to a whole other deeper level. The reading that accompanied the course was one of my favourite aspects – not all of them are Reiki texts but have wider spiritual context (Autobiography of a Yogi will now be one of my favourite books of all time!). It’s a beautiful journey. When you are choosing your Reiki teacher, go with your instinct and you won’t go wrong. Thank you Giancarlo.
