When Can I Start?
You can commence the distance components of the course at any time throughout the year. The distance programme is divided into a series of 10 Parts, each with specific online classes, DVDs, and course manuals. There are assignments in most Parts, and online assessments at the end of each.
What is meant by part-distance?
The programme is partly conducted by correspondence, or distance education. Students can commence studying at any time throughout the year and attend the in-house portions of the programme as they arise. There are classes available during the week and outside of normal work hours throughout the year. Local students may attend the Student Practices at any time for hands-on experience, as well as the technical and in-house sessions conducted on a regular basis. Interstate, country and overseas students ussually attend in blocks of days, weeks or months, depending on their availability.
How long does the course take to complete?
It is designed to be completed in a little over 2 years. The first 6 Parts of the distance programme are allocated 2 months each for completion, and the last 4 Parts are allocated 3 months each. Exams and Board assessments are additional to these time frames. Given that students are able to study at their own pace to a reasonable extent, the course can sometimes take considerably longer, depending on individual circumstances.
Can I Study Fulltime and Accelerate my Training?
Yes. Students have the option of utilising all available classes and tutorials, and attending approved Academy practices on a daily basis, which should accelerate their progress considerably.
Can a NeuroSpinologist practice anywhere they like?
As far as is known, there is no restriction on NeuroSpinology practice anywhere in the world, provided the NeuroSpinologist can obtain the necessary visas.
What are My Career Prospects after Graduation?
The future is loaded with positive options for any NeuroSpinologist. Graduates will have the choice of going into practice on their own or in partnership with others. They will be able to practice either in Australia (subject to immigration approval) or overseas. Some NeuroSpinologists work exclusively with sporting organisations orcorporations, while many others conduct private practices. There is also potential for a career in teaching or NeuroSpinology administration. There is huge public demand for the services offered by a NeuroSpinologist, and nobody other than NeuroSpinologists are sufficiently equipped to provide those services. NeuroSpinology offers a rewarding and fulfilling career, limited only by any restrictions that the NeuroSpinologist places upon him or herself.
Is there any financial assistance available to help with tuition?
Yes, there are various academic scholarships available each year through the Registration and Professional Development Board of NeuroSpinology. Scholarships are awarded in consideration of factors such as motivation levels, determination and financial circumstances. There are some full scholarships which cover all course fees, and other part scholarships that cover varying amounts. Scholarships applications are available from the Admissions Office upon request.
