This document provides an overview of the fees and income you can earn as a student teacher in the Licensed Reiki Master Teacher Training Program. The fees are approximate because students progress through the 1,000-hour program at their own pace, typically taking one year per level. However, it is possible to complete the requirements more quickly, resulting in lower fees. Most teachers actually exceed the teaching and session requirements, resulting in more income. You are also free to set your own fees for sessions and classes, so the income is approximate. After becoming licensed at a level, such as Reiki I and II, you will charge the ICRT fee for that level. You are always free to set your own session fee. The earnings below are based on the teaching requirements for each level. All requirements may be completed online. If you decide to meet in person for the co-teach and review, there will be additional travel expenses.
