Bowen Therapy resets the body to heal itself

                             Curriculum/Cost

In 14 days of Bowenwork^® training with registered instructors of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, over a period of at least six months, you will learn a comprehensive health system that enables you to aid clients' recovery from a large range of internal and musculo-skeletal conditions. You will learn procedures that balance the body overall, plus a range of procedures that address specific areas of the body, and still others to use in cases where conditions don't respond readily to the basic procedures.

The Curriculum in Detail

The Bowenwork procedures are taught in six modules, each 16 classroom hours long. The modules must be taken in sequence because each one reviews and builds on what was taught previously. Each module is taught in two consecutive days.  When only one module is taken at a time, at least one month must elapse between each module and the next. Two modules may be taken back to back; in such a case two months must elapse before taking the next two modules to provide time for practice and to develop an understanding of the power of the moves.

Students must also complete 10 case studies and 50 logbook hours.

Module 7 is a two-day testing module, administered by an assessing instructor who was not your instructor in Modules 3-6. At least one month must elapse between Module 6 and Module 7.

The content of each module is standard in every country where BTAA-approved instructors teach. This means that you can travel and study with any combination of BTAA-approved instructors and be assured that you will have learned the same procedures as all of your classmates, regardless of their previous instructors.

Every module includes:

Demonstration of each procedure, with detailed explanation of anatomical landmarks

Explanation and discussion of the procedures and indications for their use.  The manuals include detailed notes, with photographs and anatomical diagrams

Extensive supervised hands-on practice, with feedback from the instructor(s)

Ample review of procedures taught in previous modules

Staying Current with the Bowenwork Academy USA and BTAA

The $75 registration fee is a yearly fee that covers a year’s subscription to the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia’s quarterly publication Bowen Hands, admittance to the members’ section of the international Bowenwork website, and our administrative costs.  After completing the requirements to become a professional practitioner, the fee also includes a listing on the website for referrals.  For professional practitioners, this yearly fee must be paid before you can take and get credit for any continuing education classes.

We ask our professional practitioners to remain current in their yearly registration fee.  Not only does it support the efforts of the BTAA to promote Tom Bowen's unique work, but it supports YOU!  Staying current in your registration means you will always have access to continuing education to expand your understanding and increase your skills.

While the vast majority of students complete Modules 1-7 within a year, occasionally some students will take longer than one year to complete the program.  Such students must be current with the $75 registration fee at the time they take their Module 7. Paying the $75 fee between Module 6 and Module 7 is optional; however, students who wish to continue to receive the quarterly Bowen Hands and have access to the members section of the web site will need to keep their registration fees current.

After you complete Module 7, all of the requirements to become a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner (click here for requirements), your annual fee will also include a listing on the Bowenwork.com web site so that you will receive referrals.

After completing Module 7, in order to remain active with the Bowenwork Academy USA and BTAA, you will be required to take 32 hours of continuing education (CEs) every two years.   For more information about Continuing Education,  Click here

Once a Professional Bowenwork Practitioner, you must pay the yearly fee in order to take and get credit for continuing education classes.

Cancellation Policy:

Bowenwork Academy USA recognizes the fact that students must sometimes cancel a class they have registered for after they have sent in a deposit.  The following policy sets the guidelines for when or if a student's deposit is returned:

• If the class is cancelled because of an insufficient number of students signing up for the scheduled class, then the students have the choice of having their deposits returned or having the deposits credited toward the next class s/he takes with that instructor.

• If a student is sick or for some reason not able to attend class, but notifies the instructor teaching the class with 48 hours or more notice, then the student's deposit will be honored toward the next class s/he takes with that instructor.

• A student who fails to give the required 48 hours notice forfeits the deposit.

Note: Less than 48 hours notice may be acceptable in the following instances if documentation is supplied:  admission to a hospital, emergency room visit, or death of a parent, spouse, sibling or child.
