Students can expect a gruelling and comprehensive programme to include cadaveric lessons to help understand anatomy on a deeper level, on how the body may be affected with movements, manual therapy and manipulations of soft tissues. This is the first certificate level of its kind to have over *100 hours of cadaver dissections to learn with, along with lectures on orthopaedic testings and so much more. The whole course is a full time studies and will take place in Singapore and our partnered India's physiotherapy college for the live practicums.
