All students are carefully supervised and assisted through every phase of their training. They receive a thorough and carefully integrated combination of theoretical understanding and practical experience, throughout the course.  An emphasis on the practical application of techniques during training, ensures a feeling of confidence when using the methods in a professional capacity.  Due to the practical nature of this training program, it cannot be studied through 'distance learning'/correspondence or any other external means.  All students are required to attend the training modules in Brisbane. 

Students (who complete the full course) are required to participate in the client-based research program to ensure the highest possible standards and to provide useful and constructive feedback.  This special research was initiated in Australia by the forerunner of this program.  Following graduation, trainees continue to receive ongoing back up and support from the Directors of the school for as long as they find it helpful. 

A program of continuing professional development is also available to all graduates who become Members of the Australasian Subconscious-mind Therapists' Association (ASTA).
