The Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Program was conducted by the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International until and including 2015. From 2016 Australian students will be assessed and registered as Practitioners by Ortho-Bionomy Australia.  The OBA Practitioner Training Program is identical to the SOBI program, so any training students have completed prior to 2016 will be considered part of their completed training application when submitted to OBA.  Training completed from 2016 should be documented in the OBA training record forms included in the OBA handbook. All forms for becoming an OBA member, enrolling in the training program and applying for practitioner registration are included in the handbook.
