KINESIOLOGY SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA (KSA) IS A REGISTERED TRAINING

ORGANISATION OFFERING A NATIONALLY RECOGNISED DIPLOMA IN

KINESIOLOGY AND IS ACCREDITED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE

OF PROFESSIONAL KINESIOLOGY PRACTICE (ICPKP).

Kinesiology Schools Australia (KSA) offers the highest quality Kinesiology training

available.

Unlike many colleges, our emphasis is on Kinesiology and Kinesiology alone. All

our lecturers are high level Specialised Kinesiology Practitioners with years of

experience to pass on to students. This is a guarantee we are proud of.

Some colleges have been known to offer Kinesiology qualifications where

students will become massage therapists with little Kinesiology knowledge.

Kinesiology Schools Australia are the specialists in the industry. We only offer

quality Kinesiology courses and we know our graduates will be sought after

practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to be successful in a

Kinesiology practice.

KSA does not just offer Kinesiology techniques. We offer a successful protocol

that has been proven through time by many practitioners. The quality techniques,

high level lecturers who are all practitioners, and proven protocol guide our

graduates to success. This is why we are the best at what we do.

If you want a successful Kinesiology practice, Kinesiology Schools Australia is here

for you. You can search for other colleges but there is no need to look any

further. This is the course for you.

The Kinesiology taught by Kinesiology Schools Australia is the only style of

Kinesiology researched at a University and successfully shown to be effective.

KINESIOLOGY SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA CONSISTS OF 7 CAMPUSES

THROUGHOUT QUEENSLAND, NEW SOUTH WALES, AND VICTORIA.

HLT52415 Diploma in Kinesiology is accredited by:

- ASQA (the Australian Skills Quality Authority)

- AKA (Australian Kinesiology Association)

- AIK (Australian Institute of Kinesiologists)

- Qualifies for Austudy assistance (Centrelink approved)

A Quick Overview:

Kinesiology Schools Australia offer two high quality Kinesiology courses:

- HLT52415 Diploma in Kinesiology

- Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 (KPL1)

On completion of the KSA Diploma in Kinesiology you will be a competent and

confident Kinesiology practitioner, recognised by both Australian Kinesiology

associations (AIK and AKA), the Australian National Training Authority (ASQA) and

the health funds that pay rebates on Kinesiology. The advanced techniques and skills

you acquire in this course enable you to become a successful and highly sought after

professional Kinesiologist.

Year One Kinesiology subjects start with the basics, providing the most solid

grounding in the field and build to conclude with some powerful intermediate

techniques so you can start your career while you complete your Diploma. After the

first year you will be able to register as a level 1 Kinesiology practitioner with either

the AKA or the AIK and can start building your practice.

Year Two Kinesiology subjects continue your skills to advanced, making sure you

have the best opportunity for success.

Throughout the Diploma there is plenty of practical experience gained in class

activities during every unit, student clinic, expo’s (optional at no extra cost) and

optional student practice nights (at no extra cost). All this along with the supervision

of your experienced teacher fine tunes your skills so you obtain the best possible

results with your clients. Our graduates are amongst the best in the field and

become highly sought after practitioners.

Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 KPL1 will be the first 11 months of the new Diploma

and will fulfil the requirements for a level one practitioner with the Kinesiology

associations but is not ASQA accredited and therefore not Austudy approved.

KPL1 Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 is accredited by:

- AKA (Australian Kinesiology Association)

Kinesiology Unit Descriptions

BKP101 Energisers and Self Testing

This first unit is all about teaching you how to take care of and balance yourself.

After all, you the practitioner must stay healthy in body and mind to be able to

help others. These techniques can also be used to teach clients some basic skills

they can use at home to help themselves between consultations. Basic

anatomical parts of the body and terminology are also learnt. Setting well worded

powerful goals is the basis of a good Kinesiology balance. In this unit you will

learn the skills for goal setting that will be used in every balance in the future.

BKP102 Proficient Manual Muscle Testing

This unit introduces you to the art of muscle testing, which is the basis of

Kinesiology. You learn to balance other people, using brain/muscle feedback,

known as muscle testing or muscle monitoring, to identify dysfunctions and

stress. You also learn how to identify and correct the most common causes of

disorganisation in the brain.

BKP103 Introduction to the Law of Five Elements

An introduction of Chinese 5 Element philosophies to balance the energy using

colour, sound and the emotions is the theme of this unit. Here you will learn

techniques to correct and confirm the changes you make in a 5 Element balance

and using food to strengthen muscles, meridians and organs.

BKP104 Kinesiology and Superficial Connections

Using the direction of energy flow you will learn a number of effective ways to

improve and restore balance to meridians and their related muscles and organs.

Students also learn more basic Anatomy and Physiology.

BKP105 The Law of Five Elements In-Depth

Learning the 5 Element principles in depth and working with the full chart of

emotions takes you to a whole new level of knowledge. An extra 14 muscles

allows you a greater variety of ways to balance the client. You will also learn how

to identify and use one single correction to return the person to balance.

BKP106 Professional Skills – Balancing Protocol with PKP Database BKP106

brings much of what you have previously learnt together. Using the specialised

protocols that set PKP Kinesiology ahead of the rest, you will learn how to use

finger modes and to go back to balance stressful times in the past that affect us

today. This is a real turning point and turns you into a practitioner.

10

BKP107 Pain Reduction

This unit teaches you how to evaluate and reduce pain using a number of simple

but powerful techniques. This is a favourite with most students as there are

always people with pain. By the end of this weekend many students no longer

have the pains they have had for years. This opens a huge potential to bring

clients in to your clinic.

BKP108 Balancing with Food

Focusing on nutrition this unit teaches an understanding of why the body requires

a variety of nutrients and how the body uses these nutrients. We also look at a

number of ‘diets’ and how to test the person to see if they may react to foods. By

the end of this unit you will be able to balance people and help them achieve

optimal nutrition for their wellbeing or whatever activity they require.

BKP109 Advanced Muscle Techniques – Reactivity and Posture

In this unit you start learning the first of the advanced techniques where

messages from the brain are confused causing reoccurring problems.

EMS201 Mastery of Emotional Stress Release

This unit develops skills to defuse a variety of emotional stress issues and help the

client come up with answers to their problems and move forward. Techniques

include active listening, challenges to authority and terminating a relationship

and more importantly how and when to use each one. This is a unit all

Kinesiologists need.

EMS302 Subconscious Self-Perception

Here you will learn how to find and work with the subtle messages that interfere

with achieving your desired outcomes in life. Those little voices and self-talk

known as sabotage programs, misperceptions and misunderstandings and those

little hypnotic messages that have snuck up on us over time affect our every

essence.

ECO201 Lifestyle and Dietary Modification

Here you learn Kinesiology techniques relating to dietary habits and lifestyle and

how to identify nutritional excess and deficiencies and when clients need to add

or delete supplements and alter foods.

ECO202 Immune Mismatch Responses, Allergies and Hypersensitivities

Continuing where BKP108 stops, you learn various sensitivity techniques to

identify and release stressful foods and substances (sensitivities and reactions).

These are becoming an epidemic in our society. Learn how you can help.

11

ECO301 Adrenal, Geopathic and Life Energy

Completing this unit will help you increase energy, vitality and high level wellness

by balancing fatigue-vitality, adrenal dysfunction and lifestyle change and create

a personal enhancement programme.

JAF201 TMJ and Cranials

Headaches and migraines are just two symptoms caused by jaw muscles and

cranial problems. Here you learn to reset these imbalances bringing relief to

many. The cranial bones are also involved in learning difficulties, emotional stress

and numerous other problems.

JAF301 Ligaments and Joints

This unit teaches advanced techniques so you can work effectively with ligament

and joint injuries affecting so many people. Many people ‘put up’ with pain

simply because they don’t know how they can be helped. JAF301 is the answer to

many of these problems.

MST201 Muscle and Skin Activation

MST201 develops skills and understanding in identifying and correcting meridian

energy imbalance related to muscle circuits, skin, scars, blood chemistry, thymus

and spleen energy. This variety of techniques covers a number of key areas not

previously covered in other units.

MST202 Shoulder, Elbow, Hand Muscle Protocol

You will learn test and correction techniques to release pain, increase the

function and performance of the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers. We all know

people with pain and MST202, MST203 and MST301 are major units to release

these pains. With this unit you will be able to help most non-surgical injuries from

shoulder to finger tips.

MST203 Hip, Leg and Foot Muscles

This unit is similar to MST202 except it is for the lower extremities. You will

master ‘test and correction’ techniques to release pain, increase the function and

performance of the hip, leg, knee and foot. You will be able to help most

nonsurgical injuries from hip to toe.

MST301 Head, Neck and Trunk Protocol

The variety of muscles learnt in this unit helps you fine tune areas that most

practitioners wouldn’t know where to even start. These are muscles of the face,

eyes, throat, tongue, upper neck and the small back muscles. This can help with

the very common neck pain to the more specific muscles used in singing,

swallowing and speech.

12

PIB203 Basic Brain Integration Skills

Learning difficulties is a topic of high discussion. Kinesiology is a huge help to both

adults and children with these problems. In this unit you will learn techniques

related to neurological blind spots caused by fear, pain and self-doubt for

learning difficulties and dyslexia.

VEF201 Flower Essences

Flower essences open up a whole new world to students. Through flower

essences you learn to identify and utilize insights relating to their properties and

photographic images of flowers, to re-balance mental, emotional and spiritual

energy.

VEF301 Gems and other Vibrational Energy Fields

Continuing from VEF201 you will learn about the healing powers of a variety of

powerful vibrational healing systems such as gems, tissue salts and homeopathics

and their use within Kinesiology.

VEF302 Metaphysical Energy Fields

In this unit you will learn how to evaluate and correct a variety of vibrational

energy fields such as chakras and the auric fields that are vital in connecting our

physical body to our environment which play a big part in our health and how we

perform.

13

Non Kinesiology Units: 12 units completed externally over 2½ years

Anatomy and Physiology & Pathophysiology HLTAAP003 Analyze and respond to Client Health Information

AP1 provides a solid basis of all systems of the body. Students will have a good

understanding of Anatomy & Physiology and will find this unit straight forward

and to the point. Pathophysiology follows on from AP1 teaching the student to

identify pathophysiologies or changing pathologies through observation, physical

assessment and analysis of other available information. In having this detailed

understanding of anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology of disease you

will be able to implement a problem solving approach on how to plan, care for

and manage your clients.

Clinical Safety HLTWHS004 Manage Work Place Health and Safety - Safe Work Practices HLTINF004 Manage Control of Infection

This unit is a combination of infection control and workplace health and safety

with the aim of keeping you and your clients safe.

Small Business Planning & Marketing BSBSMB403 Market a Small Business BSBSMB404 Undertake Small Business Planning

To be a great Kinesiologist is one thing but you must be able to plan and market

your business. You could be the best practitioner in history but if clients don’t

know about you then you will not succeed. Here you will learn to plan your

business and also learn proven modern marketing skills to keep your costs down

while you bring clients to your door.

Nutrition & Recommending Health & Nutritional Products HLTHPS010 Interpret and use information about Nutrition and Diet SIRXRPK001A Advise on Health and Nutritional Products and Services

This two part unit teaches the student to interpret and use basic information

about nutritional principles and healthy diet. Students also learn to safely

recommend and provide advice on health and nutritional products and services

to customers.

14

Mentoring CHCORG627B Provide mentoring support to colleagues

This unit provides the opportunity for you to revise your first year techniques and

theories while learning to talk the talk. One of the best ways to really ‘own’ your

skills is to teach it and explain it to others. It also prepares you to talk to other

professionals such as doctors.

Research CHCPOL003 Research and apply Evidence to your Practice

This unit teaches you the skills required to gather information of a research

nature and critically analyse the information for relevance to your work as a

kinesiologist.

Provide First Aid HLTAID003 Provide First Aid

skill for any health practitioner. During this unit you will understand your legal

and ethical responsibilities as a Kinesiologist and business operator. Using your

communication skills, you will also learn how to critically reflect on your own

practice and services while maintaining your legal requirements.

15

Why Study With Kinesiology Schools Australia

KSA is dedicated exclusively to teaching Kinesiology, allowing for focussed

learning in this specialist field.

We pride ourselves on our student support including online training resources, student practise nights and an amazing Facebook community where students can share highlights and ask questions.

Both industry bodies accredit our courses – the Australian Kinesiology Association

(AKA) and the Australian Institute of Kinesiology (AIK) are the two industry bodies for

Kinesiology.

The Diploma in Kinesiology is a fully progressive course. A specific protocol is taught so that students have an organised order to follow to ensure success in the fastest time possible.

The Diploma in Kinesiology is Austudy approved.

As Kinesiology is a “hands on modality” we allow for plenty of practical experience.

Graduates of the Diploma can join either industry body as a professional member

and qualify for their clients to receive Health Fund Rebates.

Courses are taught on weekends (check with your local campus) so that people can still work while they study.

All Kinesiology units are face to face with a teacher. We do not believe that

Kinesiology can be taught successfully via correspondence.

We offer non-Kinesiology units by correspondence so that students can start at any time and study in their own time.

KSA has 7 campuses from Melbourne to Hervey Bay – if a student moves interstate

they can transfer their studies easily for a minimal administration fee.

All our lecturers are high quality active Kinesiology practitioners who have completed advanced specialised training with the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice.

Kinesiology Schools Australia is big enough to be a professional organisation, but

small enough to still be personal and treat you as a person and not a number.

PKP has a proven record since the early 80s and is one of the only Kinesiology styles backed with University research.

Professionally written by a medical doctor.
