VFA Learning assesses applicants to determine their suitability and ensure that this is the most appropriate training program to suit their existing knowledge, skills and experience – as well as their career goals and individual support needs.

Prospective students will need to show evidence of successful completion of

HLT52015/HLT50307 Diploma of Remedial Massage, successful completion of VFA Learning Pre-Training Review and approved Language, Literacy

and Numeracy Test (LLN).

Students must be 18 years of age or older.

Students are required to complete 200 hours of Myotherapy treatment sessions in a clinical environment. VFA Learning has structured the 200 hours as follows:

• 150 supervised
• 50 non-supervised

VFA has a fully functional clinic that provides services to the public to accommodate clinical hours. Since clinical hours need to be supervised by a qualified Trainer and Assessor, all supervised clinical hours will occur at the academy.

We understand that many of our students need to work while learning, so we have developed a blended option for this course. It includes online theory components and completion of all practical observations in a simulated work environment or placement as required by the qualification.

Our modified Flipped Learning approach encompasses the following:

• Face-to-Face
• Classroom-based with a large practical element
• Workplace experience
• Online (self-directed)

Potential students are encouraged to speak with one of our highly experienced Course Consultants to discuss options that suit your learning needs.

• Written Questions
• Quizzes
• Assessor Observations
• Third-Party Observations
• Case Studies
• Assignment
• Project
• Report
• Workplace Logbook
• Work Sample
• Scenarios
• Role Plays
• Oral Questioning
• Interviews

The course is delivered over 18 months part-time following a weekly schedule of:

• 1 day per week (9 am – 5 pm) of classroom-based training
• 1 day per week of self-directed learning
• 1 day per week of Supervised Clinic hours

Students can also expect self-directed studies and practical practice on the remaining days of the week to reinforce skills.

There are two options available to students, and the costs are:
