Your Study Options
Flexible Fees, Payment Options & Financial Support
The Institute offers a most competitive and very affordable fee structure for our courses. This provides a greater opportunity for more students to follow their passion and study courses in Natural Therapies and enter a career path as a health professional. Discounts are available to those students who pay their fees in full at the time of enrolment.
Students are required to pay the full unit fee prior to the commencement of the unit. A special fortnightly payment plan can be arranged through the administration for those students who may have financial difficulty.
Fee structures for the courses are supplied up on request. The course fees do not ordinarily include the cost of textbooks, audiotapes and other materials that maybe required.
As all the Advanced Diploma and Diploma courses are accredited, students enrolled in any of these courses are eligible to apply for Austudy or Abstudy assistance. As a private education provider the courses offered by the Institute cannot be claimed under the HECS.

Flexible Learning Options
All our accredited courses are offered on either a full time or part time basis.
The difference being only in the number of units you are enrolled in at any one time rather than how many days per week you attend the campus.
Courses are offered during weekdays or weekends for both full time and part time students and some evening classes are also offered but only on a part time basis and only for selected units.
Weekday class option:
Students can enrol in weekday classes as either a full time or part time student and this will mean that the core academic units will all be timetabled for delivery where possible over two days of the week, usually Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Following completion of the second term a full time student will have completed the requirements needed to attend the Student Clinic and start completing their practical supervised training.
Clinic opening hours are outside those times when weekday academic classes are delivered and therefore it will be necessary to attend campus for just 5 hours on a separate day or days to attend clinic. Various clinic shifts are available including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends.
**New intake for weekday classes is in May each year.
Weekend class option:
Students can enrol in weekend classes as either a full time or part time student and this will mean that the core academic units will all be timetabled for delivery on a Saturday.
This means students may have less contact hours in some units and the independent learning component is higher than for weekday class students.
Following completion of the second term a full time student will have completed the requirements needed to attend the Student Clinic and start completing their practical supervised training.
Clinic hours for weekend students will need to be completed outside those times when the weekend academic classes are delivered and therefore it will be necessary to attend campus for at least 5 hours on a separate day/s during the week to attend clinic. Various clinic shifts are available including mornings, afternoons and evenings.
**New intake for weekend classes is in January each year

It is possible to change your study options between the weekend and weekday classes and also between full time or part time study at the beginning of each term. Students complete an enrolment form at the beginning of each term and they can decide which classes to attend to suit their circumstances. Therefore it is possible complete the courses at your own pace.
By attending classes on weekends and weekdays it may be possible to “fast track” your studies and complete the courses in less than the prescribed time.
Many of the courses have the same core units and by electing to take a few specialised additional units it is possible to graduate with multiple qualifications.
