Overview
After the success of our first intensive course the One-Year Foundation course, Two-Year Instructor course and Three-Year Therapist course will continue in 2005 with more intensive courses as well as regular classes. A provisional schedule is available here.
The Intensive courses are also open to those that are attending our short courses as well as the general public. The cost of the Intensive course is included in the Foundation, Instructor and Therapist course fees. For those not attending one of the certified course please contact us for more information about costs.
We endevour to make the schedule for our courses as flexible as possible in order to meet the needs of people who live outside London. In 2005, between the gaps of Intensive courses, people who are living in London will attend our regular classes, while those who are living outside London will attend our course once a month. Students who have difficulty joining some classes, will be able to make special arrangements to ensure they keep up to date with the courses.
The teaching format for the Foundation course consists of intensive courses, seminars, regular classes and individual tuition for personal development or for those who missed some classes.
The Instructor and Therapist courses will include teaching practice and clinical application, which will be given in our clinic under specialist supervision. Prescribing Qigong exercises to practitioners and/or patients based on their condition will be important aspects of the Instructor and Therapist courses. Some aspects of the course will be held in China.
To guarantee authenticity and authority, the academy has invited eminent Qigong specialists and professors from China as well as Western medical practitioners to become members of our expert panel.
