"From 01.01.2023, the following applies in Germany - the certificate of professional competence for the commercial use of EMS training. The operator must ensure that the person who uses EMS training (typically, a trainer or therapist) has the required professional qualification. If a client wishes to perform EMS training without direct supervision (e.g. outdoors or with a rented or provided EMS device at home) he or she is considered a user and must therefore also provide proof of professional qualification. For the general public this means an education of more than 100 hours!"
