Frequently asked questions
GET IN TOUCH IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS
The course is over 8 modules and each week we have Q&A via our private Facebook group to discuss each module.
Give yourself 2-3 hours each week to watch the videos, go through the readings and PDFs that are supplied.
As a working professional with a family myself, I designed this course to provide flexible learning for people just like me. You can access the portal at any time to watch your modules, whether it be in your lunch hour, or after dinner when the kids are in bed. It’s your choice how you complete the course.
After the 8 modules are complete, we continue to mentor you through email, phone calls and on Facebook group, with case studies, continued access to Q&A and upgrades to resources and materials within the portal.
Don’t reinvent the wheel. We have fact sheets, articles, PDFs of protocols as well as assessment forms, resources, videos, guides and paperwork required for you to get started in your own practice.
Don’t sweat it! It’s recorded so you can come back later and catch up.
We will happily take the right person at any time, get in touch with us here and we can chat.
Unfortunately not. Our courses are designed for health professionals who are seeing patients only. If you are a parent please see our complete list of providers in your area here.
