The first three modules of this course will form much of the content of the Basics of Applied Kinesiology under the proposed re-structuring of the education of Applied Kinesiology leading to a Diplomate status. This re-structuring is currently being undertaken by the International Educational Council (IEC) of the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK).
Following this basic education, the proposed format is a modular learning system which will fall under various categories: such as biomechanical, orthomolecular, visceral, sports specific etc; allowing the practitioner to follow an education most relevant to his or her practice and profession. The fourth module of this course will therefore create an introduction into the modular
system.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE:
Attendance certificates will be issued at the end of the course and the hours covered will contribute to your ongoing education in Applied Kinesiology under the new educational system, so that there will be no requirement to repeat the topics already covered.
Upon completion of all four modules you will be entitled to associate membership within ICAK-UK, specifically described as a student of AK, until such time as your total hours of AK education exceed 100. (Current annual dues are £80.00)
