The Geek Therapy Certification granted upon successful completion of the course does not require renewal. Once certified, individuals retain their certification status indefinitely.

Ongoing Compliance:

• Despite the absence of a renewal requirement, it is expected that all certified individuals will continue to honor and adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Geek Therapy organization.
• This includes upholding the ethical standards, practices, and usage restrictions associated with the Geek Therapy Certification, as outlined in our Trademark and Certification Usage Statement.

Certification Rights and Restrictions

• This designation can be included in professional bios, resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and other professional documentation to demonstrate their expertise and knowledge in Geek Therapy principles and practices.

3. Professional Practice:

This includes, but is not limited to, selling products, standalone workshops, or seminars specifically branded as Geek Therapy.

Each request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure alignment with our mission and standards.

The Geek Therapy certification signifies a strong understanding and commitment to the principles of Geek Therapy. We trust that certified individuals will honor these guidelines to maintain the integrity and quality of the Geek Therapy model and brand.
