NAT Certification Badges
You may certify NAT by completing any NAT or NAT approved course. This course-specific certification provides confirmation that you have completed a specific course or courses. This does not entitle you to use the initials "NAT" as a sign of qualification.
There are 3 levels of NAT Qualification. Level 3 is the highest NAT Qualification currently available. In order to achieve NAT Qualification you must be qualified/licensed to practice manual therapy in the territory in which you work. You will also need to accumulate NAT credits as shown in the table below. NAT credits are awarded for the successful completion of NAT courses and certain NAT approved courses available on this website and elsewhere.
NAT Qualification | Credits Required |
