This allows you to practice as an “Intern Kinesiologist” in South Africa. Once all homework (including Anatomy and Physiology) is completed a further 280 hours will be added giving a total of 460 hours. Once you have completed a further 3 workshops and have attended another stream of Kinesiology you can register as a Specialised Kinesiologist as per ASKSA regulations. We strongly recommend however that you complete the second and third year of study to attain your International Diploma of Professional Kinesiology Practice. If you would like the Advanced Diploma just continue on for a additional +-18 month.
You are advised to enroll as a student member of the local kinesiology association (ASKSA) at the commencement of the BKP course.
(Note – While Touch for Health was originally written by Dr John Thie for the lay person, Dr Dewe, wrote the ICPKP diploma course with the professional Kinesiologist in mind. BKP, the first year of the diploma course, includes most of the Touch for Health information as well as active listening skills, history taking, emotions and the meridian connection, ethics, nutrition and much more. BKP is the first year of the 4+ year part time ICPKP diploma course. )
