certificate IV course structure

How is the course studied?                                                               

Our College has more study options so you can pick the one that suits you best. The Certificate IV is presented as a series of six modules studied either full time or part time. The full time structure is attended 2 days a week, studied over 7 months. The part-time course is studied largely on weekends over 12 months. There are 367 hours of face to face teaching and 102 hours of distance learning, 469 hours in total.

Each module covers a different area of kinesiology. The course focuses on both the theoretical and the practical side of kinesiology, with most modules allocating almost equal time to lectures and student practice time. This means students are able to apply and cement the theory they learn under the guidance and supervision of a lecturer.

All students are given the opportunity to attend Practice days and nights held on campus, during which they can practice their techniques with fellow students with a supervisor at hand to answer all questions and provide demonstrations. By practicing and using the skills gained in the last module, students grow more confident when using them.

Students are required to attend practice sessions throughout their certificate course. Students also attend clinic sessions as clients ensuring they are supported throughout their studies.

Equipment and Materials

The College of Complementary Medicine provides all equipment and materials for student use on College premises for the purposes of practice, including a variety of flower remedies, tuning forks, charts, practice tables, and a reference library.

Assessment

Exams are held at the beginning of each module, assessing students on knowledge from the previous module – theoretical and practical content are both encompassed.

What students say about studying kinesiology

"Travelling interstate to college is wonderful- for one week a month I am surrounded by rich friendships. I leave excited by the possibilities of how I might practice my newly acquired knowledge and skills.

What I have received from the College is a rich foundation of knowledge, self discovery, creative expression, tools to empower myself and others and the opportunity to heal myself and enable others to do the same.

The gratitude I feel in my heart for the journey I have already taken – rapids and waterfalls included – I express by fully and completely living my life purpose…by empowering myself and others to find the courage to experience positive transformation."

Sally Chapman, Holistic Kinesiology graduate 2005
