Step 03

Complete Your Modules

Work through the recorded video modules at your own pace. Each module builds on the last — covering theory, clinical technique, safety protocols, and practical application. Revisit any module as many times as you need.

Step 04

Attend Live Zoom Sessions

Join your scheduled live Zoom masterclasses with Eugenia and the G21 educator team. These sessions are your opportunity to ask questions, review techniques, discuss real client cases, and deepen your understanding beyond the recorded content.

Step 05

Complete Your Assessment

Each course includes a written assessment and, for hands-on modalities, a practical demonstration component. Assessments are designed to confirm your clinical readiness — not to trip you up. Our educators provide feedback and support throughout.

Step 06

Receive Your Certificate

Once all modules and assessments are successfully completed, your G21 certificate is issued. You also receive access to the graduate resource library, an invitation to the alumni community, and ongoing mentorship support.
