Study Kinesiology Courses Melbourne Australia Aromatherapy Massage Sydney
An Introduction to Essential Kinesiology: provides techniques for improved postural balance and improved health and performance. This course provides practical everyday applications of Touch for Health Kinesiology for increased wellbeing on all levels and begins a student’s training for Certificate IV in Kinesiology.
Certificate IV in Kinesiology lays down the foundations for a student to practice as a Kinesiologist. This training includes study of human anatomy and physiology and practical experience skills. Also included are other essential skills such as communication, business and first aid. Flowing on from the Certificate IV course is the Diploma in Kinesiology.
Practicing Kinesiologists often seek to upgrade their qualifications with The Health Arts College’s Kinesiology Practitioner Upgrade.
Other courses include their Touch for Health workshops, Brain Integration, Wellness Kinesiology workshops, Rhythmic Movement training, Neural Organisation techniques, Herbs for Kinesiologists, Weight Management, Nutrition for Kinesiologists and more.An Introduction to Essential Massage enables a student to see if they would like to pursue their massage interest further – and leads to Certificate IV in Massage Therapy Practice.
The Certificate IV in Massage Therapy Practice incorporates relaxation, sports and oriental techniques and leads to the Diploma of Remedial Massage onto Advanced Diploma of Remedial Massage, should a student wish to pursue her/his interest even further. This course focuses on remedial massage. At this level you can practice as a massage therapist. Students are now able to be registered with industry association leaders such as the Australian Association of Massage Therapists.
Finally, The Health Arts College’s Introduction to Essential Aromatherapy course is a two day introduction to the Certificate IV students who will learn the professional use and application of aromatic oils, the conditions they are best used for – and the necessary way of monitoring the progress of the different stages of therapy. Again students may continue their studies by completing the Diploma of Aromatherapy onto Advanced Diploma of Aromatic Medicine.
Now new to what they have to offer are Diploma of Reflexology and Certificate IV to Diploma of Beauty Therapy.
“The philosophy behind the college is creating and encouraging a high standard of professional practitioners for the complementary health industry,” says Mr Knight.
When asked about perceived differences between The Health Arts College and other complementary health colleges, Mr Knight added: “The focus upon customer service – client and student questions, the flexibility within the courses, the ability for students to allow their lives to come into and be part of the college – so their families support them and they support their families in the process.
“There’s also a large component of community service within every one of the courses – as they all have practice that students need to do out in the community as well as within our clinic. So there’s a lot of practical clinical application.
“I’ve been in the wellness industry for 21 years now, so I understand that people training need to be able to incorporate it in their everyday lives.
“So all of our courses are based around weekends and/or evenings. So people can still have a full-time job, work Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, and either do some evenings and/or weekends. So that’s how we’ve structured it – they’re still classed as full-time courses, but it’s not a conventional full-time load.”
What’s more, in Victoria The Health Arts College can now offer many prospective students up to 70% off their fees for their diploma and advanced diploma courses. Call THA College today to find out if you are eligible.
