This training is designed as a multi mode training program. There are five parts to the course. You will be required to pass each section in order to move on to the next part. You can however, re-take the section if you have not achieved the 100% pass rate, as many times as required.

Within each part the learning objectives are shown prior to the section; you will be able to print off a work booklet to record information for your portfolio along with practical and theory hand-outs. There are also voice-overs along with audio’s of patients’ experiences; case studies and assessments in the form of questions with true/false, multi-choice answers and mix and match conditions for each section. 

In the final part of the course you will access video’s demonstrating dealing with stressed patients; how to position patients, appropriate touch and pressure, subtle connecting and listening to the patient’s system, reflexology techniques, reiki techniques and massage techniques. At the end of each video there will be assessments. These will all also have practical hand-outs for you to add to your portfolio.

You do not have to buy additional learning materials. However, it would be beneficial for your future reference and practice to buy a clip folder and dividers to create a portfolio for the workshop booklets provided in each section, along with the theory and practical hand-outs throughout the course.

You will be assessed throughout each section. The assessments are varied and are in the form of multiple choice questions, true/ false questions and mix and match options.

You will be required to pass each section in order to move on to the next part. You can however, re-take the section if you have not achieved the 100% pass rate, as many times as required.

At the end of the training you will have created a portfolio of evidence as well as handouts and diagrams for the theory and practical. If you complete your training before your allocated time you will be able to go back over the course to listen to audios and watch videos. 

Unfortunately we cannot extend your time to do this if your end date has finished.
