Check with your Advanced Kinesiology course provider whether the core subjects are taught as part of the training or whether a preferred provider is specified for these modules. The Classical Kinesiology Institute, for example, teaches all the core subjects in house as part of their diploma training. The school does not recognize other college's courses as substitutes for those in their own programme but does give accreditation for prior learning (APL).

1 notional hour = one hour of tuition or home study.
