course
structure
How is the course studied?
 Our College has more study
options so you can pick the one that suits you best. The Diploma is presented as a
series of modules studied either full time or part time. The full time structure is
attended 2 days a week, studied over 14 months. The part-time course is studied largely on
weekends over 24 months. There are 681 hours of face to face teaching and 189 hours of
distance learning, 870 hours in total.
The face to face teaching
hours combine theory and practice, presented in a range of teaching styles to suit the
course content. The College emphasises practice and experiential learning as being the
foundation of learning to be a Holistic Kinesiologist.
Our commitment to high levels
of supervision and lecturer involvement set us apart in the field. Our long experience in
Diploma level Kinesiology vocational education has shown us the importance of
maximising student - teacher and student - student interaction in developing confident and
competent kinesiologists. Thus all major units have substantial face to face hours, allowing
for us to better meet student needs and allow for students to easily ask questions and have
concepts explained and demonstrated.
Second year full time
students, and part time students half way through their course, have the
opportunity to practice in our Professional Training Clinic. Here, students work on members of
the public as practitioners with a supervisor present to support them and give them
feedback. The training clinic ensures students gain experience in working with clients on a
professional level and prepares them for running their own clinic.
Students are required
to attend a minimum of 70 hours of supervised clinical practice, including 49 hours
of student clinic sessions, as practitioner, throughout the Diploma.
Equipment and
Materials
The College 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. In second year, students must undertake
4 clinical practical examinations, which involve one hour sessions with a client which
are supervised and assessed by an examiner.

what students
say about studying kinesiology
“I still
remember the very first time I walked into the college to enquire about the
kinesiology course. I felt right away that kinesiology at the college
was the next phase for me.
The college,
along with the lecturers and my classmates, provided me with a unique and supportive
environment where I had the opportunity to not only learn, practice, and
refine my kinesiology
skills, but also challenge andgain a greater understanding of myself for personal
growth.
Having now
completed the course, I have started on a more fulfilling and rewarding
career path, where I can use my skills and experiences, and empower others
to gain the most out of their lives.”
Ryan Jackson,
kinesiology graduate and lecturer at CCM Sydney
