The
Unity Principal Ltd
Student
Workbook / Portfolio for Advanced Practitioner Level
As
part of the course we offer a support meeting once every 6 weeks so
that students can talk to trainers about their assignments. You will
be given five questions and six weeks to complete each set.
The
questions must then be handed in by a set date to be advised. All
questions must be passed before moving on to the next module.
If
any questions are answered incorrectly the appropriate feedback and
support will be provided until knowledge is attained and resubmission
takes place.
Students
are required also to carry out additional tasks of completing their
Reflective Journal, give a short statement of how the course has
developed them as a hypnotherapist and completion of the Personal
Development Plan detailing continuing professional development that
you will be planning to carry out in the future to develop yourself
further as an advanced practitioner.
This
workbook is made up of six sections
- Learning Outcomes
- Questions
- Vignettes
- Reflective Journal
- Personal Development Plan
- Info about how to complete etc.
