Physiotherapist
ISCO 2264 · 2 Professionals. Assesses physical function and delivers rehabilitation and movement therapy.
Why get verified
- Trust you can show. An independent mark clients and employers recognise — on your profile, CV and social media.
- More clients, more confidence. A public, verifiable profile helps people find and trust you.
- A path, never a punishment. You see exactly where you stand and what to add next.
- Built on real standards. Grounded in ILO ISCO-08 and WHO guidance — so your badge means something.
- Honest by design. We verify evidence, not competence — and never replace a state licence.
How verification works
Verification is evidence-based and built on international standards — here is exactly how your level is decided.
- Classified by ISCO-08. Your profession is mapped to the ILO International Standard Classification of Occupations, which decides precisely which evidence applies to you.
- Evidence domains. Each card below is a domain of evidence. Its level tag shows which tier it counts toward; the strength tag (Low → Very High) shows how strong that kind of proof is.
- Tiers are earned, not assigned. Foundation (identity + professional status) → Established (+ education + experience) → Advanced (+ portfolio + development) → Distinguished (+ licence, or registered business & compliant facility).
- Confirmed by a person. A badge is never automatic — a reviewer checks your documents before any tier is issued, and a registry-confirmed item counts for more than one only seen on paper.
- Honest by limit. We verify evidence of professional standing, not clinical competence, and never replace a state licence.

Walk through your professional profile, domain by domain. Answer where it applies — every gap becomes a step on your path to verification. Nothing is saved.
Identity & professional status
Who you are, and that you currently practise.
D1
RequiredHigh evidence★ Foundation
Can you confirm your legal identity?
Identity is the foundation of every verification. Without it, no other evidence can be trusted to belong to the person presenting it. A confirmed identity links all subsequent evidence to a single, real individual and protects the public from impersonation.
Identity — who you are
Confirming your identity is the foundation of trust. It prevents impersonation and links every other credential to a real person.
How to do it: Provide a current government photo ID whose name matches your diplomas, registration and business documents.
Examples
A physiotherapist shows a national ID matching the name on their degree.
A self-employed hairdresser's ID matches their business registration.
Evidence & guidance: Identity is the entry requirement of every professional register.

D2
RequiredHigh evidence★ Foundation
Can you show that you currently practise this profession?
Professional status confirms the person actually works in the occupation claimed, rather than only holding a past qualification. It anchors the profile to real, current practice and is the minimum a member of the public expects when choosing a provider.
Professional status — that you currently practise
Shows you actually hold and work in the role you claim now, not only in the past.
How to do it: Provide proof of current practice: an employer letter, current registration, or evidence of an active client base.
Examples
A nurse provides a letter from their current employer.
A self-employed beautician shows active bookings and registration.
Evidence & guidance: Current status distinguishes an active professional from a lapsed qualification.

Training & experience
How you were trained, and your track record.
D3
RequiredVery High evidence★★ Established
Can you evidence your education or training for this profession?
Education and training show the person has acquired the knowledge base for the occupation. The framework recognises that valid education ranges from university degrees to vocational and course certificates, so the requirement is adapted to the profession rather than assuming a single academic route.
Education & training — that you were trained
Demonstrates you were formally prepared for the work to a recognised standard.
How to do it: Provide a diploma, specialty certificate, or a recognised course certificate from an accredited provider.
Examples
A dentist shows a university dental degree.
A fitness instructor shows a EuropeActive/REPs-recognised certificate.
Evidence & guidance: Education maps to the skill level your occupation requires under ISCO-08.

D4
RequiredModerate evidence★★ Established
Can you evidence your experience in this profession?
Experience demonstrates sustained, real-world practice. For many occupations — especially those without formal licensing — documented experience and references are among the strongest available signals of readiness, and are explicitly recognised as valid evidence.
Experience — applied, real-world practice
Shows competence built over time, beyond initial training.
How to do it: Provide employer references or documented years of practice.
Examples
A nurse provides references covering five years of ward experience.
A massage therapist documents several years of client practice.
Evidence & guidance: Experience evidences sustained supervised or independent practice.

Work & development
Evidence of your work, and keeping your skills current.
D5
RequiredModerate evidence★★★ Advanced
Can you provide a portfolio or examples of your work?
A portfolio gives direct, reviewable evidence of the work the person actually performs. It is especially meaningful for creative and craft occupations, and complements (or substitutes for) formal qualifications where those are not the norm.
Portfolio — the quality of your work
Lets reviewers and clients see the standard and range of what you actually do.
How to do it: Provide before/after photos (with the client's consent), case examples, or a client work portfolio.
Examples
A hairdresser shows a consented before/after portfolio.
A physiotherapist presents anonymised case examples.
Evidence & guidance: Always obtain consent and protect personal and health data when sharing client images or cases.

D6
RequiredModerate evidence★★★ Advanced
Can you evidence ongoing professional development?
Professional development shows the person keeps their knowledge and skills current. It signals commitment to safe, up-to-date practice and is relevant across all occupations, regulated or not.
Professional development — staying current
Shows you keep your knowledge and skills up to date as practice evolves.
How to do it: Provide CPD certificates, course and conference attendance, or recent training records.
Examples
A pharmacist shows CPD points from the last year.
A fitness instructor shows recent recognised refresher courses.
Evidence & guidance: Continuing professional development is expected across regulated and non-regulated professions.

Licence, business & premises
Extra checks that apply to your situation.
C1
RegulatedRequiredVery High evidence★★★★ Distinguished
Do you hold a valid professional licence or registration?
For regulated professions, a current licence is the legal basis for practice and the single strongest verifiable signal. It is checked against the official register so the public can trust that the person is authorised to practise and is in good standing.
Licence — legal authorisation to practise
For regulated professions, a current state licence or registration is the legal right to practise.
How to do it: Provide your licence or registration number; it should be verifiable against the national regulator.
Examples
A physician provides their medical licence number.
A pharmacist provides their pharmacy-council registration.
Evidence & guidance: SheniEkimi confirms the document and, where possible, the register entry — it never replaces the state licence.

Is your business or self-employment registered?
For self-employed professionals, business registration confirms a lawful, accountable entity behind the service. It supports tax compliance, consumer recourse and trust, without implying any clinical or technical competence.
Business — a lawful, accountable business
Confirms a registered, accountable business for self-employed professionals.
How to do it: Provide a business registration certificate and tax identification number.
Examples
A self-employed therapist shows their business registration and tax ID.
Evidence & guidance: Registration supports consumer protection and recourse.
Sources: National business registry — to localise

Does your facility or premises meet basic safety requirements?
Where services are delivered at a premises, facility verification confirms the environment meets basic hygiene and safety expectations. It protects clients and is assessed separately from the individual's professional evidence.
Facility — a safe place to work
Where you deliver services must meet basic hygiene and safety requirements.
How to do it: Provide facility registration, hygiene/safety compliance documents, or an inspection report.
Examples
A clinic shows a recent sanitary-inspection report.
A salon shows hygiene compliance documentation.
Evidence & guidance: Facility safety draws on infection-prevention and national sanitary standards.
