Continuing Education Program

As a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner you’ll want to attend continuing education classes to deepen and expand your understanding of the basic work and to gain new skills. Continuing education classes also offer rich opportunities to seek advice from instructors and classmates on any topic you want to know more about, such as practice-building and client cases.

Whether you want to learn additional Bowenwork procedures or focus on a specialized topic, we have many classes you’ll love!

Specific Requirements

To maintain your skills as a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner, 32 hours of American Bowen Academy-approved continuing education is due every two years on the anniversary of your certification date.

Extra hours (beyond 32) in any two-year period can be carried over to the subsequent two-year period if they have been taken within the last three months of the period.

Each hour of a continuing education course is equivalent to one CE credit.

For the first ten years of certification, the 32 hours of continuing education in any two-year cycle will include:

  • A minimum of 16 contact hours dedicated to revising and refining the basic skills taught in Modules 1 – 12.
  • The remaining 16 hours are “practitioner’s choice”, selected from any classes approved by American Bowen Academy, and which the practitioner is qualified to attend.

Once a practitioner has been certified for ten full years, the 32 hours of continuing education required over any four-year cycle will include:

  • A minimum of 16 contact hours.
  • The remaining 16 hours are “practitioner’s choice”, selected from any classes approved by American Bowen Academy, and which the practitioner is qualified to attend.

Contact hours are defined as hours spent in a classroom with an American Bowen Academy-approved instructor.

See both the Bowenwork Procedures or Focused Studies pages to find classes that qualify for a review of the basic work.
