Fees for Certification
Application fees for certification will be paid to the Advanced Orthogonal Institute. These fees cover the costs for the review, testing, processing of the application, and printing and shipping the Certificate.
Grandfathering
All doctors and students who have trained with Advanced Orthogonal Techniques and Procedures, or the Institute's predecessor organizations, and have completed their training according to the standards that were present at the time they were trained have been grandfathered into appropriate certification levels based on experience. Grandfathering is determined on a case by case basis by the Certification Committee based on attendance to prior seminars and active practice experience in the Advanced Orthogonal technique.
Any doctor that has not been "grandfathered" into certification and believes that the standard for certification has been met may send a request for review by the Certification Committee.
