Ishta Spinal Touch^®

Practitioner Course

The Practitioner Course consists of seven modules and completion of all is required. Three of them require attendance at a seminar while four are completed on-line. There will be assignments and case histories that must be completed between the modules. There will also be a final practical assessment and a written examination.

On the successful completion of all of these, a certificate to practise Ishta Spinal Touch will be awarded.

To ensure that a high quality of supervision is maintained the practical teaching ratio is one tutor to two students.

It is scored as 40 contact hours CPD (Continuing Professional Development). This is broken down into 16 contact hours for module one and 24 contact hours for modules two to seven.
