Course Assessment

You will be assessed through external online exams and assignments for each unit, testing the knowledge and understanding of each unit, plus anatomy and physiology. Observations for each unit are carried out throughout the academic year in the realistic working environment sessions on paying clients.

As this is an intensive part-time Study Programme, students will be required to carry out additional practical and theoretical study at home. Due to it being a vocational course, students are required to initially practise all treatments on each other before applying what they have learned on real clients.
