Yes, you can. Many participants have completed this school while raising their children.
Foundations of Kinesiology: You will need to borrow, hire or buy a massage table so you can practice on your volunteers. An iPad (not tablet) is useful if you wish to have the information in a digital format - but not necessary to work with.
Online Post-Graduate Courses: You will need to have a device and an app that allows you to get online. The device can be either a tablet, laptop or mainframe computer - phones are not suitable for many reasons (battery life, constant interruptions etc). The app (or 'application' meaning computer program) you will need is Zoom - there is a free option, if you just want to join into the online meeting for the course.
Yes, you can. There are many students who travel to Queensland from interstate, from afar as Adelaide.
Previously to 2018, the Australian Government and Health Insurers (who insured certain therapies like kinesiology and massage), demanded that certain fields of study have nationally recognized training. However, since the approval for inclusion of certain therapies like Kinesiology, into Health Cover/Insurance has been abolished, so has the requirement for nationally recognized training. Therefore, Kinesiologists can train and work in non-nationally recognized training institutions like A.P.K.A.
Sometimes life happens and for that reason I record every class so you will be able to watch what you missed in your own time. After that it is important that we arrange a one on one tutorial to ensure you have understood the class correctly and have caught up. Alternatively, you can attend the class next time it is taught. It is a good idea to repeat classes more than once, and you are always welcome to attend a class again, for a minimal fee.
