    Find a Training College

     

    Finding out which courses meet which standard is a nightmare for the unwary. There are two principle standards against which courses are measured. They are the National Occupational Standards and the Core Curriculum of the therapy concerned. Each therapy has worked out a minimum number of training hours and content for courses and you can visit these on our News page.

    All AAPA accredited courses meet or exceed the national standards so that when you come to register with the UK Regulator the CNHC it will be plain sailing.

    Our training colleges are detailed on the left and right so follow the links and see what is right for you

    Many of our colleges run Continuing Professional Development Courses and some of those are listed below
