AP1: 'Anatomy & Physiology'

This Course is packed with information supported by extensive Course-Notes. It is designed with the Complementary Therapist in mind but is relevant to anyone who wishes to increase his or her knowledge of the human body and how it functions.

The Course is in 2 parts: the first is of 7 days duration and consists of a mixture of Practical and Theoretical work. This is followed, several months later, by the Examination. (*Please note that we also offer an 'Anatomy & Physiology' Correspondence Course.)

Studies normally comence at 9.30 a.m. and finish at 5.00 p.m.

The Course has been designed to:

1. Introduce students to the structure and related functions of the human body that are relevant to the practice of Complementary Medicine

2. Develop understanding of the principles and their application in human physiology that underlie the treatments and practices of Complementary Medicine.

One of the main aims of the Course is to make learning interesting and fun - and to instill in participants the wonder of the human body and how it works.

Comments from students include:

"I have learned more about Anatomy and Physiology from this first day than I learned during my Nursing training - it is so refreshing to know that learning can be interesting" .

"A very relaxed and stress-less course, every question was answered with kindness even those which may have seemed irrelevant. If this Course was designed to encourage and stimulate interest, then it has been very successful".
