Do you need more flexibility?
There's the option of completing the Foundation course on a 1:2 basis on weekdays in a shorter amount of time. Please enquire via the 'Contact Me' form at the bottom of this page.
How is the Foundation Course taught?
The Foundation Course is taught over 6 weekends (or equivalent), usually spaced about a month apart.
The course consists of 90 hours (12 days) of face-to-face training, including practical demonstrations and workshopping. The modules are structured in a way to make learning fun, enjoyable and informative with a good proportion of the work spent practicing the techniques and muscle testing in pairs.
In addition, you will be expected to undertake home study of approximately 1-2 hours per week. You will also need to carry out 25* case studies.
*Please note, the 25 case studies don't have to be on 25 different people, which I know can sound daunting!; for example, you could work on the same 5 people, 5 times over the duration of the course.
The course concludes with a final practical assessment and written paper including some multiple choice questions.
Certification: Provided all the homework is completed and the assessments meet the pass mark, students will be issued with a certificate.
What is the investment?
The total investment is £1,450* payable in advance no later than 4 weeks before the course starts.
You can opt to pay this in instalments to include a £450 deposit on enrolment plus £200 x 5 payable on modules 1 – 5 (total £1,450).
(*Please note this price increases to £1,495 on 1st July 2026).
Placeholder deposit: As places are limited, if you know you want to go ahead and enrol in advance of the payment deadlines, it is advisable to complete your booking form and pay a nominal £50 fee to secure your place. This is deducted from the total course amount.
Terms of Payment
The cost of the course is set by the Kinesiology Association (KA) and is the same for all KA courses that are run in the UK.
Deposits, which are payable to enrol, are non-refundable in the event of you changing your mind. If the course is cancelled by the tutor due to an external influence beyond control, the deposit will be refunded.
Please note: Payments made either in full or in instalments are a commitment to complete the course. This is a requirement because the decision to proceed with the course is dependent on the number of students. This means that course fees are not refundable or transferable in the event of you changing your mind to continue with the training, including if the payment is made in full (early bird or standard fee).
