The programs offered by the Healing Oasis Wellness Center are approved by the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board (http://eab.state.wi.us). The Healing Oasis Wellness Center, to our knowledge, is the first school to offer state approved certification programs in the United States.  Our graduates will earn upon successful completion of all of the requirements a legal certification in that particular modality.

A GUIDE TO THE WISCONSIN EDUCATIONAL APPROVAL BOARD (excerpts from the guide updated June 2003)

What does the WEAB do? The WEAB protects consumers by approving and supervising private post-secondary schools that offer occupational training and educational programs to Wisconsin residents

Why have an WEAB? To prevent consumers from being misled and to ensure consumers get quality programs.  They do this by holding schools accountable

What exactly is a school? A school is any entity (individual, business or institution) which charges tuition for post-secondary training or education. The WEAB dines the school by what it does, not what it is called

What training is approved? Generally, the WEAB approves training or education that leads to employment, a diploma, or a degree.  Such training or education is offered in a defined program

What if a school is not approved? Unapproved schools are breaking the law.  The Attorney General enforces WEAB statues.  An unapproved school is subject to a $500.00 a day fine and other penalties

What are the benefits to being approved? WEAB approval gives a school credibility. A list of approved schools is mad available to public agencies, job seekers, school conselors and others interested in training and education

What does the approval process involve? The WEAB has an application form, which is used to guide the process.  The process includes: school requests application, school personnel meets with an WEAB consultant to review application materials; school completes and submits the application materials and fee; education consultant does a completeness and compliance review of the materials submitted; an industry consultant (up to three) will evaluate program; education consultant prepares and sends letter of findings to the school; corrections might be necessary and when application materials meet WEAB requirements, the school is approved to operate
