Description

Description:

Please note this is a theoretical course only. In class, supervision is required for the practical application of this topic.

Becoming a physiotherapy technician is easier than most students think. While many students are convinced that becoming certified involves months of schooling -currently, this is NOT the case.

If you have ever been unwell or have a friend or family member that has been injured in an accident. Going to a doctor can sometimes cost a lot of money and may not cure your physical problem. Understanding what a Physiotherapist does saves a lot of money and allows you to properly judge whether you need the skills, or not. Within this course, the introduction to physiotherapy/ Physical Therapy is expanded and you`ll learn where you can work as a physiotherapist/ physiotherapy assistant.

After this course, you will be able to highlight the key concepts of physiotherapy. You will be able to identify what it takes to become a physiotherapist or physical therapy assistant. And some of the qualities you need to be able to work as a physiotherapist/assistant. You will also determine how to start your journey if you decide to take a leap into this great career.

The course is illustrated with real examples, so you can understand the principles and apply them easily in practice. It's super easy to understand it because I have explained it in detail, and step by step all the process. I have prepared many videos for the lectures, and you can also download the materials.’’

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
