Professional ethics

Client consultation and record keeping

Insurance options

Safety and hygiene

Possible contraindications to the treatment

Preparation of the client, room and supplies 

Basic Anatomy and Physiology

Client aftercare

Course  time is spent for the most part on the practical aspects of the therapy being learnt, and all students are encouraged to undertake additional private study at home using their training manual and text books.

CPD Points 

 Improving your skills and knowledge through Continuing Professional Development is the responsibility of every professional across all industries.  It is considered across all industries that CPD points, units and credits all relate to the same thing, CPD Hours. The definition of CPD Hours is the time spent for someone to be in “active learning”. Active learning defines the actual time spent learning something relevant for their Continuing Professional Development objectives. A great example of this would be 1-day accredited CPD training course. If the training starts at 9 am and ends at 5 pm, with a 1-hour break for lunch, the CPD Hours would be 7.

Our courses are fully accredited for CPD points by IGCT.
