Our Course
We offer both a weekend and a weekday course. Our Course follows the syllabus of ABC Awards and gives a thorough and professional grounding in both theoretical and practical skills, at the same time ensuring an enjoyable experience. Coursework is approximately 50% teaching and 50% practical hands on experience. There is a minimum of 130 hours contact teaching time, plus a minimum of 60 hours for home study. Students will also complete case studies - 60 hours of treatments. Typically, these are begun during the course and completed once the exam is over!
As the course runs on a modular basis, we can be flexible if you find you need to miss a module due to family matters, illness etc.. And we offer tutorials at no extra charge when you feel you need them, on a 1-2-1 basis.
Ourcourses run over a period of twelve months, which represents eleven modules, each taking either one weekend a month, or two weekdays a month, with the examination in the last month.
Continual assessment of individual study and development will take place throughout the course.
