Important Information on the Certification
I have listed each of the Certification Requirements individually for clarity and
understanding. All Certification Requirements are also listed in your Curriculum.
Requirement for Certificate of Completion:
- Watch the launch zoom meeting before the in-person training
- Attend the zoom meeting Q & A before the training
- Complete all readings & homework in this classroom
- Attend in person two-day training
- Purchase the supervision course on Green Tara Website
- Complete and submit the NADA Ethics Pledge
- Complete 40 Supervised Acudetox Treatments (complete within three months of
this training) - Complete a two-page essay on your experience with the NADA protocol over the
40 treatments
If the trainee demonstrates required competencies, Tara will recommend NADA issue a
Certificate of Training Completion as an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist. The
Training Completion Certificate indicates successful completion of NADA training and
demonstration of entry-level skills. NADA does not provide initial or ongoing certification
of an ADS.
Occasionally applicants are not able to demonstrate the required competencies even
upon completion of the required hours of training. Such applicants will not be eligible to
receive a certificate until they do so. Individuals may work with a Registered Trainer to
identify deficits and in partnership create a plan that will allow the individuals to achieve
appropriate mastery of the materials and techniques.
