Certificate in Craniosacral Training level 1

 

CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR THIS COURSE

 

Introduction


Craniosacral Level 1 These techniques are non-invasive, safe and effective. They release physical and emotional tensions in body tissues, relieving pain and stress, allowing self-healing to take place.

 

The course will consist of nine Sundays of theory and practical tuition, with some home study. The intensive nature of the course means that the number of participants will be strictly limited. On completion a certificate of competence will be awarded. A minimum of eight sessions will be required for the award of the certificate.

 

Practitioners with an A & P certificate to Level 3 of the national occupational standard, or to have studied A & P as a module in another course such as osteopathy, chiropractic, massage or reflexology, or to have a medical background are eligible to apply.

Course Outline


 

The Course is designed for those who have a working knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the relevant systems. Pre course reading guidance will be given and the relevant information reviewed as part of the teaching.

 

On completion of the course, the student will have gained competence in the techniques taught, knowing when to apply the techniques and how to recognise contraindications and limitations. In order for the students to appreciate the application of the techniques in a holistic context, the academic knowledge will be presented in a 'top-down' fashion, looking at the control mechanisms in the organisms from consciousness to the synergy between the cooperating systems of the organism.


Although these mechanisms are not fully understood scientifically, a working hypothesis will be presented based on clinical experience and knowledge from a variety of philosophical and scientific sources.
Students will be encouraged to draw from and share their own experiences in order to enrich the experience of all on the course.

Course Requirements for Successful Completion and Award:

 

Pre Course Reading

Designed to ensure that the student is adequately prepared for the information given in the course.

 

Continual Assessment

To ensure that the student gains practical skills to use the techniques safely and effectively.
As the course progresses, the tutor will make sure that the student understands and applies the practical skills gained.

Any student who is failing to acquire the relevant skills will be coached as necessary.
In the rare event that he/she still fails to achieve the required standards of safety and effectiveness, Turning Point Training reserves the right to exclude him/her from the course.

 

Examination
A written and practical examination will take place on the final afternoon. The practical exam will be assessed by an external examiner as part of the requirements for validation.

 

Portfolio

Students will be required to present a portfolio of four case histories, where the student has used the skills obtained on the course.

Assessment will not depend on the success of the cases, but on the way that the knowledge acquired on the course has been applied.

The portfolio will be presented by October 3rd. Email and telephone support will be available during this time.

The Certificate will be awarded on successful completion of all the required elements of the course.
