The International Certificate in Professional Kinesiology Practice is the launching pad for your success as a practitioner, the initial stepping stone to becoming a Registered Kinesiopractor®.
It is comprised of six modules. Our emphasis is on professional clinical excellence, not exams.
- Two Modules are Kinesiology training units. (i) FPK1 – the six units on Kinesiology material that form the foundational principals of the ICPKP courses including those that are also taught to the lay-public; (ii) PKP1 – our 6 units of professional material based around ICPKP’s unique “Finger Moding” system, goal setting, emotions, extensive Database of Techniques and exclusive Balancing Protocol.
- Three Modules relate to your clinical work and personal experience with a Registered Practitioner. We require these to ensure adequate skill and mastery to succeed in full-time practice.
- One Module is home study and contains the knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology that is the basis of the physical side of PKP™. This also integrates a unit on specific health terminology to enable you to communicate effectively with both clients and health and wellness professionals.
- “Other” Units: Colleges using PKP™ materials may include in their curricula units of generic health material (eg. infection control procedures). See “Individual Country Requirements” below.
