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. |
