ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING TRAINING COURSE

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, GYMNASTIC COACHES AND TRAMPOLINE COACHES who hold a qualification that is recognised in their country, can enrol onto the online training course that recognises and takes into account their previous experience.
These candidates will enrol onto the PT/OT/ COURSE version of the course.

CANDIDATES WITHOUT a PT, OT or COACHING qualification can enrol onto the STANDARD version of the course, which is a little more comprehensive.

Either option will result in the internationally recognised Level 2 Rebound Therapy practitioner qualification.
(For groups of eight or more, we can run the course in house at your venue if preferred.)

BENEFITS OF THE TRAINING COURSE:
On completion of this training course, you will be awarded with the internationally recognised Rebound Therapy practitioner qualification. This will enable and equip you to take your students and clients to trampoline parks, gymnastic clubs and special needs facilities, for Rebound Therapy sessions.
You will be validated to provide Rebound Therapy sessions at any suitable venue, for the benefit of children and adults across virtually the whole spectrum of disabilities and additional needs; from profound and complex disabilities, to autism and challenging behaviour.

You will be tutored in how to use the resources supplied to accurately measure and record progress and provide evidence of outcomes.
 

The training course comprises approximately 20 hours study and assessment. Most candidates complete the course and gain their qualification within two weeks.


The online programme comprises five steps:
1) Study of the reading material,
2) Study of the video of practical aspects, including development of programmes for PMLD and activities for ambulant students,
3) Study of the video of how to measure and record progress, and how to provide evidence of outcomes,
4) Completion of the theory assessment paper,
5) Practical assessment of key skills, by video. (You will be asked to get someone to film you on a mobile phone while you demonstrate the teaching points of some key skills.)

 

You will be allocated your own personal course tutor who will guide you through the training course and who will be available to you at any time for help and guidance.
