ICPKP provides Recognition for Prior Learning
(RPL)
You can cross-credit prior learning towards the International Diploma
Status. If you have previously taken a PKP course you are already part way
towards your Diploma in Kinesiology.
How do the new units compare with the old PKP I
- IV workshops?
 |
The ICPKP Diploma units cover material in greater depth.
 | Emotional Stress Release (ESR) was a 30 min teaching in the old PKP II
workshop. The rest you ’picked-up’ by watching your teacher do
demonstration balances and doing a lot of ’holding-and-hoping’.
|
| ESR occupies a whole two day workshop in the new Diploma programme.
You really get to know and feel confident and competent with the technique
of ESR. The workshop is called EMS 201. |
|
|
There is much more opportunity to
explore, practise and experience techniques.
|
|
There is time to gather feedback, and participate in
thought-provoking group discussion.
|
|
Some practising Kinesiologists with many years of clinical experience have
still received great benefit from taking the new ICPKP classes and have
enjoyed the new approach to learning.
|
"Old" PKP Students can fit into the new system
with ease and grace.
PKP students who have taken
PKP I, II,
III or IV can all be incorporated into the new system.
This is how it is done:
A)
PKP Graduates who have completed PKP I - IV
You have completed a training series. You have taken
the old PKP system. There are some highly recommended ’extra’ bits
in the new PKP Certification Program™ that we suggest you can
take. See the ( four) points below.
You will agree, there is
no way that you can have possibly have learned as much in 26 days
(5+7+7+7) as people doing the 120 days (60x2) of training with supervised
pactice sessions, weekly assessments and feedback at each stage of their
learning. There simply was not the time in the old workshops to cover all the
material in the detail it deserves or to do the personal workouts or make the
personal growth that occurs in the new programme. (Some things PKP II covered
in less than an hour now have the 15 hours of class time they deserve.) An ICPKP
Registered Kinesiologist will have had more skills training in the new program.
B) PKP Students can fit into the new system with ease and grace.
PKP students who have taken PKP can
be incorporated into the new system. You
can complete the old
system and be listed as a kinesiologist (PKP IV) using the PKP Protocol.
However, if you want the new ICPKP International Diploma and ICPKP Registered
Kinesiologist status you are wise to consider changing now.
-
| You
are wisest to convert to the new system.
| You will take some early
units and later ’skip’ some other classes (and just do the
assessments)
| You have
not covered the pain stuff in 106 or the food stuff in 107 in detail
so need to start classes at BKP 106. |
| We will mark your
Assessment Journal and sign on the ICPKP website that you
have completed BKP101.
| You can then sit
the BKP101 exam (10 multiple choice questions) on the website.
| You are now
ready to do BKP 102.
 | The investment is
about a quarter
of the class fee. |
| Later in the course
there
are other units that you as a PKP I graduate
may also wish to attend or
you can simply
sit the assessments for the involved MST and JAF Units. The units involved
are:
 | MST
201,
MST 301, MST 302
|
| JAF
201, JAF 301
|
|
|
| | | |
-
| We think
you are wise to convert to the new system, even though it may
seem to you that you are partly through the old system.
| You will take some early units
and later may ’skip’ some other classes (and just do the
assessments)
| You have
not
covered the material on records in BKP 110 at all
(in PKP I or II) for example.
| for BKP101 - BKP109, you only
need do the Assessments.
| | | |
-
|
We
think you are wise to convert to the new system, even though it may seem
to you that you are well through the old system. |
| Change, if you
wish to attain the ICPKP
International Diploma.
| There are at least eight more
modules from the new program to do after PKP IV.
|
| It is up to you.
If you want to convert, here is what to do:
| It
is strongly recommended you start with EMS 201. It is
two full days of ESR skills. You have not covered this important unit in any of your training to
date. You covered this material in less than an hour in the old system
of training.
| You may also wish to attend
a BKP 110 class as records were not covered in the old PKP series.
| The investment is
about a quarter
of the class fee. |
| As a PKP III graduate YOU have
already covered
many other units
and mostly
you may choose to do the Assessment Journals and sit the exams. The units involved are:
| MST
201,
MST 301, MST 302, MST 303
|
| JAF
201, JAF 301
|
| ECO
201, ECO 202
|
| EMS
301, EMS 302
|
|
| | | |
|
We
are aware that it must seem strange that YOU must
do EMS 201 but can just do the assessments for EMS 301
and EMS 302. This is because the areas covered in EMS 201
were not covered at all well
in
the old PKP II or PKP III workshops.
|
-
| You have finished
the old system.
|
| We
would
recommend you do take the extra material from the new PKP
Certification Program™.
|
| Ask us
when we are offering the
courses you want (or check the course schedule). There are at least
eight workshops (eg. EMS 201 - Mastery of ESR or RBT 201 and 301
- Trigger Points) to consider.
|
| We strongly
recommend EMS 201. It
is two full days of ESR skills. You have not
covered this important unit in any
of your training to date. You covered this material in less than an
hour in the old system of training.
|
| You, too, may
also wish to attend a BKP 110 class as records were not covered in the
old PKP series.
| Our college
offers BKP 110 at repeater rates to PKP IV graduates.
|
| However, if you want the ICPKP
International Diploma - you will need to do all assessments
and take several units.
|
| As a PKP IV graduate have already
covered many units and for these, mostly you
may choose to complete the Assessment Journals and sit the exams. The units involved are:
| MST
201,
MST 301, MST 302, MST 303, |
| JAF
201, JAF 301 |
| ECO
201, ECO 202, ECO 301
|
| EMS
301, EMS 302, EMS 303, EMS 304
|
|
|
|
|
There may be
other units
that some of you PKP IV graduates feel you can cope with by just completing
the Assessment Journals. We may allow you to do this after discussion
with college faculty.
|
|
PKP4 Graduates note: Yes,
there are quite a few ’extra’ bits in the new PKP Certification Program™.
You now have the opportunity to take the relevant new workshops to gain this information. They
become part of your CEU (continuing education units) that will become a lifetime
habit.
|
|
However, we do
have to ask everyone who wants the
ICPKP International Kinesiology Diploma (and
listing as an ICPKP Registered Kinesiologist) to
complete the same Assessments as the new students.
|
It is
a highly sought-after qualification.
|
Where you
have areas of lesser skill, we suggest you take the new unit, especially
seeing our college offers you repeater rates. |
|
Once again, we have to ask anyone who wants to get the ICPKP International
Kinesiology Diploma to complete the same Assessments as the new students. It
is not about us thinking you do not know the material. It is about you
achieving Competency by showing you can do the Performance Criteria for each
part of the course. This builds confidence and self esteem. The old system
only had exams for teachers. The new system allows all of us to show we are
Competent Kinesiologists.

I have training prior to starting Kinesiology
Where a Kinesiologist can produce a certificate of proficiency (or equivalent
assessment) in any units, this unit will then be credited towards their
Diploma. An example of this might be a Registered Nurse who has taken Anatomy
and Physiology as a University course.
|
Touch For Health Kinesiology Graduates
may receive credits for prior studies in TFH. These
may be taken into
consideration and discussed with the applicant. The criteria is based on
relevant equivalent studies and qualifications as well as proficiency (NB:
TFH was created purely for laypersons. PKP - as its name implies - is for
Professional Kinesiology studies). If
successful, the cost for the first three to four units may
be reduced - an
acknowledgement by the college for your prior learning. All
the above, however, is subject to personal interview with college faculty.
We encourage the successful TFH applicant to leave
"TFH" at the door and to begin to warm to a professional attitude. BKP
provides a better and different depth and perspective, with assessments as to
competency, providing a highly sought-after professional
qualification.
