About the Educational Kinesiology Trust

What is the role of the Trust?

The Trust is the curriculum and training standards body for Edu-K and Brain Gym in the UK and Ireland. It is a non-profit private company and affiliated to the International Educational Kinesiology Foundation, which is a registered not-for-profit company based in Ventura, California.

The Educational Kinesiology Trust in the UK has a Board of Directors who work voluntarily.

Monitoring training standards

The Trust Board establishes the training curriculum for Edu-K in the UK and Ireland. The UK training is an enhanced programme incorporating the core curriculum set by the international organisation. Our programme works towards meeting the requirements for the National Occupational Standards for Kinesiology.

The Trust ensures that professional standards of delivering Edu-K are maintained by:

  • registering any participant at a course taught by a qualified UK or Irish Instructor with the Trust’s national database
  • assessing the professional level accreditation courses to ensure that students have reached the required standard
  • setting Continuing Professional Development requirements for all Edu-K Consultants and Instructors
  • dealing with professional standards or conduct issues relating to any current professional member of the Trust
