Energetic Healing

  Energetic Healing provides natural methods to restore balance and harmony to the subtle energy anatomy through a variety of gentle, non-invasive techniques.  The Energetic Healing course combines modern and ancient methods such as kinesiology and light, colour and sound therapy, chakra, meridian and aura balancing. The human being is comprised of a multifaceted array of energy systems that influence the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. Just as the human physical anatomy contains organs, systems and specific functions, there is also the subtle energy anatomy which maintains the interrelated components, systems and functions. These energy systems include the aura, chakras and meridians, as well as other electro-magnetic systems.It is this subtle energy that forms the foundation of human health. If it is nurtured and supported we will remain healthy and vital. However, many of us ignore the basic requirements with consequences that lead to the manifestation of blockages and imbalances within our subtle energy system, which over time can manifest as poor physical, emotional and mental health. Subject Outline This is an essential foundation course for those interested in energetic healing and wishing to begin a career in natural therapies. Upon completion of this course students should have a sound understanding of the three major areas of energetic healing.

Health & Wellbeing

  Health and Fitness are simply some of many the different words used to describe people being in good condition. There are many different services and products on offer which promise to improve or maintain a state of wellbeing, and any (or all) of these goods and services might be considered to be part of the health and fitness industry. These can include things as variable as medical services through to fitness, sport, recreation and food. There are three aspects to health: Emotional or Mental health  (Healthy thoughts & attitudes) Structural Health (The health of the body is structurally sound -the bones, muscles, organs etc. are physically in good condition -not damaged -performing the functions they should perform) Chemical Health (The chemicals in our body are correct - there are no toxic chemicals   -the tissues are made up of the appropriate balance of nutrients etc.). This course builds on that simple concept.

Introduction to Health & Fitness (I)

  Health and Fitness are only two of the many different words used to describe people’s physiological condition. The Health and Fitness industry is not a clearly defined industry, for it includes many aspects, and it overlaps onto many other fields, such a medicine, sports, recreation, tourism, education and so on. As you commence this course, your perception of the scope of this field may be limited, but by the time you complete the course, your perspective will have broadened considerably. Your ability to identify prospects for employment, and to pursue those that suit you, will have also broadened. Many different services and products are on offer, all promising to improve or maintain the state of person’s wellbeing. They include such different things as medical services, sport, recreation services, food, and natural therapies. Any and all of these goods and services can be considered to be part of the health and fitness industry. Job opportunities in health and fitness are equally varied. The following are just some of the organisations/businesses that might employ people with management skills in the health and fitness industry: Leisure Centres Gymnasiums Swimming Pools Sporting Clubs Medical Practitioners Chiropractors or naturopaths Health Food Shops Health food manufacturers Schools Sports equipment retailers Sport equipment manufacturers Sport Facilities Resorts Hotels Tourist industry

Level 3 Diploma in Infection Control

  There are few jobs or personal situations where we are not expected to engage in some kind of infection control. It is a subject and related activity which is no longer just confined to the hospital or medical domain. Even in our own homes we are now expected to have knowledge of antibacterial products, processes and practices. Increasing standards required for public premises also means that many individuals will be expected to manage infection control protocols and processes within their place of employment (for example schools, pubs, restaurants and even offices). The benefits of effective infection control are unquestionable in terms of wellbeing and the prevention of spread. We only have to think about influenza and threats of pandemics to realise the speed and extent of infections when they take hold. This course is based on learning outcomes which will be outlined at the beginning of each module. There will be self-assessment activities throughout the course, and completion of these, though formative, will contribute towards knowledge and understanding in preparation for each module assignment and the final examination. Each learning outcome will be fully explained and the self-assessment activities and assignments will be clearly linked to these. Your tutor will provide detailed feedback to you regarding how well you have met these learning outcomes, and together with your assignment and examination marks, you will therefore have a holistic overview of your course achievement. It is hoped that if you decide to undertake this course you will develop an enhanced knowledge base and practical skills ability, as well as fulfilling a professional or personal development requirement. The course has 10 modules, each of which will build upon the knowledge of the previous one. The module content is briefly outlined below:
