RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Some students will have already completed nationally recognised complementary therapy studies such as massage, or will have developed the requisite skills and knowledge through formal or informal training or work or life experience.

Through the processes of Recognition of Qualifications or Recognition of Prior Learning (‘RPL’), students may be granted credits in the Certifcate IV in Bowen Therapy, subject to the provision of valid evidence.

Your trainer will supply the RPL documentation for you to formally apply for recognition.
