Eligibility

Courses on Handling skills

These courses are open to everyone, including general public.

Health-care professionals

If you are not a registered osteopath, you are welcome to enquire for more information from the course leaders: you might be able to attend the theoretical and exercise-based parts of the course, and observe the osteopathic practicals.

Osteopaths

  • You must be a registered osteopath who treats children and regularly uses ‘cranial’ as a mode of treatment.
  • You must hold full professional indemnity insurance, which covers you for studying in England, and it must be for the full duration of the course. We cannot accept any osteopath who is not adequately insured.
  • Part of the course is practical sessions where you will be expected to be a model. We will give you a form to fill, which you should complete and send back ahead of the course. This form will be shared with course tutors, and either returned to you after the course or shredded at the end of the course.
  • As we will hope to have some children on the course, you must hold a current Enhanced DBS certificate (last three years). Please provide a copy with your booking form.
