Foundation Course

The Foundation Course is essentially practical in nature, taught along with a complementary solid theoretical foundation, with emphasis on demonstrations by tutors and students practising skills under supervision.

The aim of the Foundation Course is to give students a body of knowledge and skills that will enable them to establish a practice and work effectively at this level of competence.

The course includes both basic techniques and an introduction to more advanced interventions.

The Academy’s Foundation Course Certificate is awarded on successful completion of the course and the student can the use the initials MACH.
