Acudetox Africa partners with Certopus

As of 4 days ago, Acudetox Africa partnered with Certopus. Finally, we have a tamper proof, QR coded and verifiable practitioner certification system. As from the 20th of January 2023, all previously issued

practitioner certificates will be revoked.

Going forward, Acudetox Africa will be using a new QR coded certificate tracking system which will validate current certificates by scanning the QR code on the certificate or by verifying the certificate number.

New certificates will be issued to currently registered practitioners only. If you have not received your new certificate within the next week, please request a new certificate my emailing Acudetox Africa ALONG WITH YOUR PROOF OF PAYMENT that was previously made in 2022 and a new one will be issued. (Note : only if your registration is current).

1. As from today, to register with Acudetox Africa, you will need to apply online, submit your application form and ethics pledge with your annual registration fee through the secure payment field in the form.
2. As from today, we will no longer be issuing invoices. After registering with Acudetox Africa  online you will receive a reminder before your annual registration fee is due. Your certificate will be revoked when it expires and you will have to reapply and pay online through Acudetox Africa.
3. New practitioner certificates are valid for 12 months from the date of receiving payment for the annual registration fee.

NB**** We will no longer be receiving annual registration fees via eft. Only payments via the website will be accepted.*****NB – The Certopus certification system is built into our website and new certificates are ONLY issued once the order/ payment has been received through Acudetox Africa.

The new system has been adopted for a few reasons

• Practitioner certificates are now traceable and tamper resistant.
• Certificates will now have a validity expiry date.
• Admin is now reduced because the onus is on the practitioner to heed the automatic annual reminder, validate their card details and pay in order to receive their new valid certificates & invoices.
• Sending invoices every month is no longer a manual admin task.
• Practitioners whose annual registration fee lapsed through the new system will now need to reapply and pay online. The system as well as the certificate they have will reflect them as unregistered.
• The previous manual system was inefficient and not working properly.

IMPORTANT NB***– Please make sure to get your new certificate if you are currently registered with Acudetox Africa. If your registration has lapsed, you must now reapply through Acudetox Africa keeping in mind the steps mentioned in this article.

May the change that 2023 brings be easy and profitable for us all in every aspect of our lives!

Please also take note of the following:

Check when your Acudetox Africa registration fee is due and diarize it. If it lapses, remember your certificate will be invalidated and you will have to reapply and register again.
