Some of our courses have a certification upgrade option and this fee allows you to continue on to the certification portion of the course in addition to covering the reviewing of your case studies, processing and printing your certificate, and the mailing of your certificate, certified practitioner bag, and other accessories. It must be paid at the time your case studies are submitted. At Holistic Animal Studies, we value your dedication to animal bodywork and holistic health, and we are committed to supporting your professional growth every step of the way.
