Siam Reiki has incorporated the Institute of Applied Holistic Health Sciences policy on Recognition of Prior Learning to provide opportunity and reduce duplicating learning and evident skills. 

Recognition of Prior Learning benefits students in many ways.

1:Eliminates the need to duplicate training that has already been completed.

2:Assists students in establishing areas of strengths and weaknesses in their existing skills and knowledge thus identifying subjects beneficial to aid in personal development.

3: Enables students to complete the diploma in a shorter time span. 

4: Helps to minimize the costs involved

There are many factors which need to be taken into consideration when awarding modular recognition as Siam Reiki is profoundly determined on training its students to  attain competency levels that are in line with current industry standards.  It cannot therefore simply Grant RPL for modules on the basis of a certificate-based transfer.

All students will therefore be required to complete a competency based assessment before recognition decision can be made

The importance of competency based assessment in RPL

Siam Reiki recognises that there are a number of ways that students may have acquired their prior learning this could have been through

A: Formal certified  Academy student studies within a structured educational establishment

B: Formal certified on-the-job training as part of their employment contract

C: Informal non-certified on-the-job training and experience

D: Informal non-certified training experience via Leisure voluntary activities

However the scope of and objectives of skills and knowledge gained from each of the above will vary considerably therefore merely holding a certificate alone having a substantial level of experience or in-depth knowledge of a subject does not automatically assume a student to be competent to standards required by Siam Reiki. Therefore the use of competency based assessment will provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate how their skills and knowledge and understanding meet the standards set by Siam Reiki.

Prior learning assessments are in line with the Siam Reiki criteria for each module there for the type of duration of assessment will vary depending on the objectives of individual modules these may include but not limited to the following

A: Written assessment

B: Written assignment

C: Verbal assessments

D: Assessment partial demonstrations

E: All of or a combination of the above

Summary of RPL procedures

All students should initially contact Siam Reiki representative to inform us of the modules for which RPL is being requested.  This can be done by email or telephone

A qualified member of Siam Reiki will then be contacted with a brief initial assessment for each RPL module to  ascertain the level or prevalent skills, qualifications and experience of the student. 

Only a qualified assessor of Siam Reiki can deem the student to have inadequate prior learning for the module in question. The student will be informed at this stage and will therefore be guided in how to complete the full training.

Today in Complimentary and Alternative there is an increasing need for international standards of quality control and procedures in training. Therefore ‘The Institute of Applied Holistic Health Sciences’ was founded in 2010. 

Siam Reiki is endorsed by ‘The IAHHS’s whose objective is to provide an integrated approach to health care, providing skills and methods to heal the body/mind through traditional health sciences with a framework in education leading to a qualification.

The training organisation supplies credibility to the Healthcare Industry and certifies Siam Reiki students with it’s supporting evidence based research.

Siam Reiki not only heals the mind/body/spirit/emotional connection, restoring balance and health but also delivers world-class training programs that lead to qualifications such as Siam Reiki Diploma with core and elective subjects. Siam Reiki comes from the bases of traditional “Usui Shiki Ryoho” Reiki.

Siam Reiki founded by (Steve) Lee Wei-De in Thailand in 2008 and is dedicated to the healing art of Master Usui, who developed reiki in 1922 in Japan. His teachings have been adapted and spread throughout the world. Whilst there is much debate as to the origins of Reiki, no evidence to date has shown that another country has used or developed an energy transfer therapy or energy science such as the one defined by Master Usui in Japan. He developed a unique method that improves the body and spirit and he shared the science behind this physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing practice.

Siam Reiki guides students in their own personal growth as the Reiki energy is activated the traditional way students will grow and want to expand the knowledge and experience with energy. Courses include the following to become a Certified Siam Reiki teacher, follow the links to (Steve – Mr Lee Wei-De the Founder of Siam Reiki).

• Siam Reiki Level 1
• Developing Psychic Awareness
• Crystal Healing
• Siam Reiki Level 2 
• Pendulum Diagnosis
• Transcending Entities
• Psychometry
• Siam Reiki Level 3 / Master Level
• Siam Reiki ONLINE (DPA) Developing Psychic Awareness with (Steve)

After becoming a Siam Reiki Master/Teacher the development does not stop as teachers can learn how to deliver all the above courses under the guidance of ON LINE teaching direct from Mr Lee (Steve). Certain courses such as Transcending Entities ceremonies, Crystal Gazing, How to see the Aura can only be delivered by Mr Lee, the founder of Siam Reiki and the developer of the training course, usually for safety reasons.

Reiki is a hands-on energy transfer therapy and works by expanding the chakras and aura. This in turn intensifies the spectrum of frequency of the recipient, promoting a healthier mind, body and spirit. A Siam Reiki therapist acts as a channel so that the energy is transferred to the recipient through the chakras; areas of congested energy are identified, along with the cause (spiritual, mental, emotional or physical) and a timeline may be indicated.

At each level in Siam Reiki training, a Siam Reiki Master Teacher guides the student in the transfer of energy. The teacher observes to ensure that the student’s healing assistants are working through them and that the energy is flowing through the minor and mini chakras in their hands.

Siam Reiki does not ignore those who have previously trained elsewhere:In order to maintain the quality and consistency of Siam Reiki therapists, Siam Reiki offers an assessment procedure with recognition of prior learning.

Today, there are many modalities being used around the world termed as ‘Reiki’ but are not a practical transfer of healing energy. These ‘branches’ of so-called ‘Reiki’ involve some belief systems or meditation techniques to activate the reiki energy.

Reiki is a holistic health therapy available to everyone regardless of religion race or creed. It became necessary to Trademark Siam Reiki in Thailand to show it’s loyalty and ethics to Master Usui’s technique and to the standards assured by his authentic Reiki energy science. 

Siam Traditional Doctors Association (STDA) established by certified traditional doctors, endorsed Siam Reiki to support our natural healing modality and to strengthen the credibility of alternative and Traditional medicine in our communities. We conduct programs and research with Siam Reiki and Traditional Herb Medicine Doctors on a regular basis and use state of the art equipment to quantify and monitor outcomes.​

The Institute of Applied Holistic Health Sciences (here forward IAHHS) recognizes that many Students may have already completed one or more of the modules included within the Diploma courses, and is therefore committed to developing a system that will recognise its Students prior learning achievements in order to avoid students having to duplicate their learning and evident skills.

RPL procedures are as follows:

I. Check the course and course code you are wanting to RPL

II. Prepare all the certificates, supporting evidence of paid or non paid work, reference documents and guarantee persons information.

III. Make appointment time with IAHHS to book the trainer’s time.

IV. Prepare the required fee calculated for each course wanting to RPL

V. Meet IAHHS for the assessment and evaluation report.

There are many factors which need to be taken into consideration when awarding modular recognition, as The Institute is profoundly determined on training its Students to attain competency levels that are in line with current industry standards, it cannot therefore simply grant RPL for modules on the basis of a certificate based transfer. All Students will therefore be required to complete a competency based assessment before the recognition decision can be made.
