Bridging Course
The Bridging Course is an essential part for the Advanced Diploma and Diploma courses offered by the
AIHM.
This course is recommended for applicants who have not done any formal studies for many years, or those who do not have any background in human biology and chemistry and for those who want to brush up their study skills and the knowledge. Before embarking on your study journey this is a good opportunity for you to recognise your own strengths and weaknesses. You can also get to know the college and get used to
the "study mode".
If you have real difficulties in attending the course (eg: you are an overseas student or living in a remote area) we can arrange
for the contents to be sent out to you both in audio and hard copy format.
We are very confident that the Bridging
Course would be an eye opener for you and that would make the course so much easier for you. So if you have not done your
Year 12 Human Biology and Chemistry and even you did that but if it was done
a long time ago this Bridging Course is for you.
You also can choose a component of the
Bridging Course and you will pay on a pro rata basis. (eg: If you
are enrolling a Massage course with the AIHM you will not need to
attend the Chemistry part of the Bridging Course )
The Bridging Course is offered over five weeks
on two evenings a week. It covers an Introduction to Anatomy &
Physiology, Chemistry, Study Skills & Assignment writing, the
Philosophies of Natural Medicine, Stress Management and Self Esteem &
Motivation.
A self assessment will be conducted on the last day of the course and no exam or a formal assessment will be conducted.
You will be learning in a most friendly, conducive environment. To enrol please click (link to course flyer, enrolment form.)
