The Diploma of Kinesiology can be studied full-time over two years or part-time over three years. The part-time course content is identical to the full-time course content. If your circumstances alter, you can transfer from one to the other. The Diploma of Kinesiology course includes approximately 1,365 hours of training.

The course focuses on both the theoretical and the practical side of Kinesiology, with most modules allocating almost equal time to lectures and student practice time. This means students are able to apply and cement the theory they learn under the guidance and supervision of a lecturer.

The Diploma of Kinesiology is the standard level of professional training & qualification in Kinesiology practice. Many health funds now require practitioners to have a Diploma of Kinesiology as a minimum qualification (for client health fund rebates) This continued training ensures that graduates of the Diploma can become professional, Level 2 accredited Kinesiology practitioners, with unique skills to practice on many varied levels

Second year Diploma of Kinesiology students have the opportunity to practice in our Professional Student Clinic. Here, students work on members of the public as practitioners with a supervisor present to support them and give them feedback. The ACCM Student Clinic ensures students gain experience in working with clients on a professional level and prepares them for running their own Kinesiology Clinic.

Full-time course structure

The College realises that many people who wish to return to adult education need to also remain in the workforce. So, we structure both our full time and part time courses so that this is not only possible, but easily manageable.

Our full-time program is delivered over two set days each week. This format gives the student the option of organising their work days around study days, and also means there’s time each week to review material and practice what you’ve learned before returning to College. There are also 5 practical evening sessions that need to be attended each semester.

There are 20 Study hours per week in the Full-Time Diploma in Kinesiology.

Part-time course structure

Our part-time students, like our full-time students, study for two consecutive days. However, they attend classes on a Saturday and Sunday approximately every second weekend. Most part time students who also work full time find this system very workable, as they still get time to practice what they’ve learnt.

But don’t just take our word for it - here’s what the experts says about studying this way;

This model of learning is now adopted by many forward thinking institutes and businesses. Our experience shows this module structure has proven advantages:

• You Learn Faster
• Information and techniques are integrated more readily because there is continuity through the module and greater scope for consolidation and problem solving
• It promotes better group dynamics for learning and personal development.

The time between classes enables you to review material, review your study and reading materials, practice and consolidate techniques, and apply the knowledge and experiences in everyday life.
