The Lightworkers Foundation (LWF) are the only training providers in Scotland and probably the UK who are offering an SCQF qualification. This is the Future of Reiki Training.

Choosing A Reiki Master Teacher: There are many organisations, and individuals offering Reiki Training with accreditations, but when you investigate further it becomes apparent that these qualifications are often in-house and sometimes not worth the paper they are printed on. Some trainers use abbreviations of titles of various professional organisations that the training provider subscribes to. These organisations include insurance providers or memberships to associations. They in themselves may not be industry recognised official awarding bodies.
Over the years there has developed a "misunderstanding" of when an individual is in a position to teach Reiki sometimes through innocence, and sometimes through intent. Reiki Courses are offered claiming to teach Reiki from no experience to Master Teacher Level in 2 days for £50. This is not possible; being a Reiki Master does not qualify a person to teach Reiki. To teach Reiki a student must participate in a Reiki teaching course which takes at least a year to complete.
This is what you should expect:-
1st Degree Course is the probationary level and confidence and experience can only be developed by practice and serious application. It is primarily for "the self".
2nd Degree Course is known as the practitioner level. This level empowers your skills and teaches you the sight, sound, and understanding of the Reiki Symbols that are used in the 1st Degree course.
3rd Degree Course, Master level you are given sight sound and understanding of the symbols used during the second degree course and taught to Attune students to 2nd Degree level as part of the healing process in cases of serious chronic or terminal illness.
Master Teacher Course involves the Student Master participating in and occasionally facilitating at least six 1st Degree Courses, two 2nd Degree courses, one 3rd Degree Master course and two Reiki Sharing days/ Workshops. On completion, the Master Teacher is fully qualified to begin to run training courses.

Choosing a Reiki Master: This a very personal thing and you should feel as though guided to your Master. Of course not everyone understands this but basically you must feel as though that Master is the right one for you. Your Master should be your mentor and you will learn from each other. Whether your journey just takes you to first degree or through to Master Teacher level, try to stay with the Mikao Usui lineage. Do not be afraid to ask any questions that come to mind. Your Master should be willing and able to answer your questions. If he or she does not know, should be able to find the answer for you. We are all human and cant possibly know everything. Here are some questions you should ask yourself .
1 What do YOU want or expect of a Reiki Master Teacher .
2 Can your Master Teacher fulfil that need.
Ask your potential Master some of these questions. LWF answers are listed beside each question.
