Curriculum/Cost

In 14 days of training with registered instructors of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia, over a period of at least six months, you learn a comprehensive health system that enables you to aid the recovery from a large range of internal and musculo-skeletal conditions. You 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 of new material, 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 two consecutive days.  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. Alternatively, if only one module is taken at a time, only one month must elapse between each module.

Module 7 is a two-day testing module, administered by an  assessing instructor who cannot have been your instructor in Modules 3-6.  One month must elapse between Module 6 and Module 7.

The content of each module is standard in every country where BTAA-accredited instructors teach. This means that you can travel and study with any combination of BTAA-accredited 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 a student will take longer than one year to complete the program.  The $75 fee is still due from those students who wish to continue to receive the quarterly Bowen Hands and have access to the members section of the website; however, the student must be current with the $75 yearly fee at the time Module 7 is taken.

Upon completion of Module 7, to remain active with the Bowenwork Academy USA and BTAA, students are required to take 32 hours of continuing education (CEs) every two years.   For more information about Continuing Education,  Click here (To return to this page, click the back arrow on your web browser)
