Teaching Methods

The educational aims are to develop the in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology to provide safe and effective complementary therapy treatments.
The following methods are used for this home study course:

Detailed online handouts are sent to the student together with monitored home assignments
Continuous assessment by course tutor
Individual tutorial sessions with course tutor
Guidance from course tutor via email, telephone, Skype

Class size

This is a home study course so the student is able to work at their own pace.

Evidence of Achievement

Students will be required to show achievement of a range of relevant learning outcomes and assessment criteria, as set by the ABC Awarding Body.

Portfolio of evidence

Students will prepare, under the guidance of the course tutor, a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate that they have covered and achieved all the required learning outcomes.

Qualification Attained

Students will gain the:

Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology for Complementary Therapies
Level 3 Award in Less Common Pathology for Complementary Therapies

Using this qualification to progress to other complementary therapy qualifications:

If the Anatomy and Physiology unit of the qualification that students wish to study is on the QCF, then the units will cover the same criteria and learning outcomes for all awarding organisations that run this qualification/units, ie. VTCT, ITEC etc. Should students then decide to enrol to another qualification which has the same anatomy and physiology units contained within, then they can apply for a credit transfer of the units (as these are the same).

Students will need to provide evidence for moderation (this might be the work for the anatomy and physiology units completed in previous qualification achieved, or it might be as simple as to provide the certificate and qualification transcript to the external moderator as evidence, so that s/he can see the anatomy and physiology unit has already been achieved in completing and gaining a previous qualification).

Entrance Requirements

Applicants must be 19 years or over. No formal qualifications are necessary.

Course Dates

This home study course can commence when the student application is successful. Students may study this course at their own pace, but it should be completed in no longer than 10 months.
