Assessment

Case studies are required to be completed for this award. The case studies form the internal assessment and should be assessed throughout the training by the tutor using the ITEC Case Study Guidance sheet. The case studies are then verified by an ITEC Examiner at the end of the course during the visit for invigilating the practical examination. The case studies ensure that a variety of clients must be consulted and treated in all the above areas and the outcomes of the treatments must be documented in order to gain experience of working with a variety of clients and conditions whilst candidates are still under supervision. Detailed rationales for the type of treatments and outcomes must be shown, as well as after care.

Recommended prior learning

Accreditation for Prior Learning may be available to students who have previously completed an element/s of the course.

Opportunities for progression:

Once candidates have achieved the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Complementary Therapies they may progress on to other ITEC or equivalent awards at Level 3, for example:

• Spa Treatments
  
• On Site Massage
  
• Indian Head Massage
