Teaching Assistants (TAs) are important and valued components of Upledger Institute International teaching team. As a TA, you work closely with class Instructors and Facilitators to portray therapeutic concepts and techniques that are growing ever more critical to the good health of people from all walks of life. Being a Teaching Assistant is also an important part of learning to be a better therapist.

CranioSacral Therapy & SomatoEmotional Release
All Teaching Assistants should have the legal license to practice in their locale, as required by their local licensing agency. For those who wish to assist, and live in a state or province that does not require a healthcare hands-on license to practice CST, they must meet the requirements for applying to be CST Certified at the Technique Level. That requirement can be found on the CST Certification page.

CERTIFIED Teaching Assistant
To help make each workshop successful and enjoyable for all involved, the following TA guidelines have been developed based on evaluations received over the years from participants, instructors and facilitators. The objective is always to create a safe, supportive environment for each student's growth and education. Remember, we are working as a team. The better the assistants and instructor work as a unit, the better the class will run.
It is crucial that the information conveyed by Instructors and TAs be timely and consistent. To ensure this level of quality information, you must TA at least once every 3 years. If there is a lapse of three or more years, you may be required to review or attend another course before assisting again.
TA certification status is reviewed annually. You must assist at least once each year with satisfactory scores to maintain certification.
TA assignments are given primarily on a first come, first served basis.
To schedule an assignment, contact UII at (800) 233-5880 or locally at (561) 622-4334 and request the Registration Department at Ext. 2 or email us at upledger@upledger.com
If you are unable to keep your scheduled assignment, notify us at least 60 days in advance of the class.
Three cancellations of confirmed assignments with less than 60 days notice, within a 12-month period, may subject you to a suspension of up to one year. During that time you will not be assigned to assist any classes, permitted to schedule a TA assignment, nor be listed as a TA in any UII publication. Following this period you will be required to reapply to the TA program.
