please note:
THIS COURSE IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS TAKING OUR REFLEXOLOGY COURSE

THE COURSE

This is a 3-module course suitable for those who are able to cope with intensive, part-time training.

The Anatomy and Physiology award is the ‘foundation’ upon which all other Complementary, Beauty and Sports Therapy awards are based. It is comprised of several units encompassing all systems of the body. It is vital that a therapist understands the anatomy and physiology in detail, as they will be working in direct contact with the body structures. It is also vital that they have a full knowledge of diseases and disorders of the human so that they are aware of when and when not to treat a client and only operate within certain perimeters.

The ITEC Unit 22 'Professional Conduct and Business Awareness' is also included in this course. This unit is mandatory for students continuing on to the reflexology course.

The principal tutor, Denise Brown, has been practicing massage for over 21 years. She studied massage to a particularly high level during her 5 years of osteopathic training and she brings a wealth of experience gained during her successful treatments of many thousands of patients.

The recommended textbook 'An Introductory Guide to Anatomy & Physiology' by Louise Tucker is dispatched on enrolment at no extra charge. A general recommended book list is also sent out on enrolment and although the supplied textbook along with our comprehensive course notes cover all aspects of the syllabus students may also like to order other publications on the list.

    I.T.E.C. The International Therapy Examination Council - was founded in 1973 and fulfils the requirement for one examination standard recognised throughout the world. The syllabus is the result of over 40 years' experience and the I.T.E.C. Examination board is academically distinguished and thus internationally acceptable.

    I.T.E.C. Anatomy and Physiology has been assessed as equivalent to "A" level standard and is thought of in such high esteem that its qualification is being used as the foundation to further studies for Degree courses for several universities. Thousands of examinations have been conducted every year since I.T.E.C.'s inception in 1973 making them rightfully claim to be one of the foremost authorities and well respected by prospective employers.
    The ITEC Qualification is held by most of the leading therapy professionals practicing in Britain today.

    At a time when the medical profession is increasingly willing to recognise the benefits of complementary therapies, I.T.E.C. stands high in the opinion of the British Medical Council, The Institute for Complementary Medicine and the British Complementary Medicine Association.
    I.T.E.C. is recognised and regulated by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority QCA, and the Department of Education and Employment.
    I.T.E.C. qualifications are accepted not only in the UK but also internationally.
    I.T.E.C. is recognised by Lloyds of London for Public Indemnity Insurance (see next section for recommendations).
