01
Scope of practice
Members and certificate holders practice within education, coaching, and wellness boundaries. They do not diagnose, treat, or claim to cure medical or psychiatric conditions unless separately licensed to do so.
Governance
Ethics & public accountability
Trust is the product. ISANT publishes clear ethical standards and a non-medical disclaimer so employers, clients, and partners know exactly what our education — and certificates — represent.
Non-Medical Disclaimer
ISANT programs provide cognitive-performance-supportive movement education and nervous-system-informed wellness coaching frameworks. They are educational services for fitness, sports performance, and wellness professionals.
Content on this website and in ISANT courses is not medical advice, does not diagnose or treat disease (including dementia or other clinical conditions), and is not a substitute for licensed healthcare. Always refer clients with medical concerns to appropriate clinicians.
Statements about BDNF, neuroplasticity, and related mechanisms summarize published research for educational context. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics
Members and certificate holders agree to uphold these standards. Violations may result in registry status changes including revocation.
02
Honest representation
Credentials must be represented accurately. Certificate of Completion denotes education completed — not a government license or ISO 17024 personnel certification unless explicitly stated for a future accredited track.
03
Evidence-informed communication
Marketing and client education should reflect current science without overstating certainty. Outcomes vary; individual results are not guaranteed.
04
Client dignity & consent
Informed consent, privacy, and respectful coaching are mandatory. Refer out promptly when red-flag symptoms or medical needs exceed educational scope.
05
Integrity of the registry
Tampering with certificates, QR codes, or public verification records is grounds for revocation and public status change in the digital registry.
06
Conflicts & transparency
Financial interests, dual roles, and sponsorships should be disclosed when they could influence educational recommendations.
Dual organizational structure
To protect public trust, standards governance and commercial education delivery are intentionally separated:
- ISANT Council (nonprofit standards body) — curriculum integrity, ethics, and public credential registry policy. Headquarters orientation: Virginia, USA.
- Education delivery entity (for-profit academy) — course sales, LMS operations, and instructor logistics under ISANT-endorsed standards.
