How to Become an IIPA Certified Iridology Instructor?

An IIPA Instructor Certification identifies you as having attained a standardized level of education excellence. This status inevitably sets you apart, as clients and students would feel confident selecting you, knowing you have undergone some intense training and a high-quality education.  The following requirements are for all IIPA Certified Iridologists who are interested in becoming an IIPA Certified Iridology Instructor:
