Assessment of all course work for graduation
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.
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). (See the link to ASTA in the
