What is validation?
Validation refers to the therapist and teacher certification exam that can be taken after completing all modules of each year in the first and second years of the Wùo Taï Osteo curriculum.
The validation process usually lasts four days.
The first three days are dedicated to a comprehensive review of all modules, and on the final day, participants undergo an interview and practical exam.
Upon passing the certification exam, individuals are officially authorized by the French Wuo Tai School Federation to practice as a Wuo Tai Therapist and, in the future, to lead Wùo Taï Osteo workshops as an instructor.
For those who wish to work as Wùo Taï Therapists (earning remuneration) or to hold Wùo Taï workshops in the future, completion of the designated modules and participation in the validation (certification exam) is mandatory.
Note: Individuals who have not completed the validation are not permitted to:
-
Use the names “Wùo Taï,” “Wuo Tai,” or “ウータイ”
-
Use the logos of Wùo Taï
-
Call themselves a “Wùo Taï Therapist”
-
Receive remuneration from Wùo Taï activities
-
Facilitate workshops or courses under the Wùo Taïname
◼︎Regarding the validation in Japan
Starting in 2026, Validation ① will be available for the first time in Japan.
As Wùo Taï continues to expand worldwide, Roland and Nathalie Combes have established a Charter to unify Wùo Taï standards outside of France.
Beginning in 2026, this Charter will also apply in Japan. As a result, the previously France-only Validation ① & ② (certification exams) can now be taken in Japan.
Note: According to the Charter, individuals who are already practising as Wùo TaïTherapists or teachers (using the Wùo Taï name and earning remuneration) must complete the required modules and validation as soon as possible.
Next Validation Course date:
December 7th (Monday) – December 10th (Thursday), 2026
*Registration is now open.
