FAQs

Certificates / Assessment
Certificates are only given once students have demonstrated that they have absorbed the information presented during the workshop and after applying a satisfactory treatment observed by the tutor. To ensure we act responsibly and carry out good practice, should the tutor feel that you would benefit from further training, certification could be held back and you will offered the opportunity to attend the next available course that has a space, which is offered free of charge. This is rare but we would as responsible practitioners we have to have high standards in place. Our tutors are there to help, with small classes it is easy to absorb the techniques you are taught. There will be a short written test on the second day and a practical assessment to ensure a high quality standard.

It does not matter which venue you to choose to attend as all tutors teach the same courses and offer the same content. All courses you attend with Refocus, each student will receive an excellent full manual, which covers the course material and all aspects you have learnt on the day. This makes it easy for you to remember the routine without having to make notes during the day allowing you to focus and learn a wonderful new therapy.
