STUDENT CHARTER

This offers information about The Edinburgh Therapy Academy and how it operates. It highlights our distinguishing features, outlines what students can expect during their training programmes and also indicates what is expected of the student. In particular, it details Ethical and Professional Conduct expectations and outlines a complaints procedure.
On the first day of your practical training course there will be the opportunity to discuss any issues relating to this document
What distinguishes The Edinburgh Therapy Academy? (ETA)
• The ETA is committed to delivering courses of study that are clearly defined, effective, efficient, and consistent in the opportunities they offer.
• The ETA provides a personal experience for students, by recognising each student’s individuality, and encouraging their creativity within clear boundaries and educational structure.
• The ETA is committed to offering coeducational experiences. i.e.: mixed male and female groups.
• Our team is committed to collaborative decision-making, where possible and appropriate.
• For many students, their experience at the ETA is life changing.
• The ETA is less formal than some establishments. For example, students can by arrangement communicate flexibly with staff, and the culture within the school is strongly one of trust and respect in terms of behaviour and attitude.
• Students are fully furnished with all course requirements at the onset of training and there is a minimum of box ticking paper work.
• Student groups are small for practical training (up to 16) OR have double staffing for practical; enabling greater acknowledgement of individual needs, within a clear and equal framework.
• As a team, we are empathic and facilitative in style, and we want students to feel supported and able to communicate openly about their experience with us. We have an holistic and empowered way of working, based on mutual personal responsibility.
• All of our tutors are practitioners of multiple therapies and engage actively in continuing professional development.
• All of our courses are fine-tuned and endeavour to meet student needs within the course perameters.
• Facilities for the delivery of training are chosen to meet the essential student and subject requirements.
• We deliver powerful results on the practical side of training - i.e. helping students find their ‘therapy hands’ - and this is underpinned by sound knowledge and understanding of the therapy form.
• The design of our courses is thorough, and we are passionately committed to our therapies and to the development of students in our field.
These statements are not an exhaustive list and are provided to offer a flavour of the ethos and principles of The Edinburgh Therapy Academy. There is an opportunity to discuss any matters arising from the charter on day one of the course.
