Optimum Health Balance - Susanne Lakin

Woodland View, Dixon Road, North Walsham, Norfolk NR28 9EA. Tel: 01692 407555 Email: susannelakin@hotmail.com 

This course is specifically designed for any kinesiology students and therefore adopts a different emphasis from more conventional A and P courses

It takes place over 6 days (usually 3 weekends) and aims to promote an understanding of basic anatomy and physiology within the context of the holistic model of health and from the perspective of a kinesiologist. In addition to the more conventional ‘science’ it considers common physical problems and associated imbalances on all levels and includes techniques clients can use to help themselves retain balance.

The assessment is in 3 parts. It includes a personal journal, home study as well as a final assessment.

PKP – Professional Kinesiology Practice: home study A&P course

Instructor: Denise Gurney. Contact information: 07843 256 906 Email: denise.gurney@icpkp.co.uk  www.sustainableself.com

The purpose of this unit is to provide a simple, basic introduction to A&P and teach the use of medical terminology to communicate with clients, fellow workers and health professionals. The unit is a blend of two ASQA units: HLTAP401B and HLTCOM408D.  

Those completing this unit will be able to describe in simple anatomical terms the respiratory, integumentary, urinary, cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive and nervous systems with special reference to the brain and special senses; describe the human skeleton and types of joints; explain muscle structure and describe the origin, insertion and action of major muscles of the body on a regional basis; use specific/medical terminology to communicate with clients, fellow workers and health professionals.

This home study unit has an assignment journal which will be assessed by an ICPKP Faculty member on completion, then the student sits an online assessment. Contact Denise Gurney to find out how to register at any time.

All students require to have access to an iPad or iPhone in order to complete the course.

Courses are ongoing. Guideline: 100 hrs study time.

The course is examined by a 1 hour multiple choice paper for ITEC and 3 hour written paper for VTCT and BTEC. Exams can be taken online, via Zoom or at various regional exam centres across the UK and in several other countries.  Exams are held monthly.

Helen McGuinness Health & Beauty Training

The Study book which was written by Helen covers the current NOS (National Occupational Standard) for the Health & Beauty industry as set out by Habia and therefore does not appertain specifically to one awarding body such asITEC. It is designed to be generic across all the levels (1 to 3) of the NOS and therefore relevant to qualifications that are based on the current NOS. Helen’s book has also been used for a number of years by colleges in the UK as part of their programmes

They are accredited by VTCT and cover the A&P with their students who are undertaking qualifications such as level 3 massage and have to have complete A&P at that level as part of the award.

They suggest on average 150 hrs study and this A&P is for Level 3 only.
