Answer

No. Right now, anyone can train anyone in MI. This is a mixed blessing. Many colleagues in this field feel that we should not try to police practice, and this has been my personal view for many years. Yet standards might improve if there was a system of certifying trainers. There are no plans afoot to develop such a system, although it would not surprise me if one is developed fairly soon.
