Overview
The four year PKP Diploma Program provides approximately 3800 hours of learning and is the most comprehensive, student-centered training available in Kinesiology worldwide. The in-depth program blends theoretical study and practical experience, enabling students of all ages and backgrounds to learn kinesiology and become highly skilled and sought-after practitioners. In New Zealand, the home of PKP, the ICPKP Diploma is the equivalent of an undergraduate (bachelors) degree.

Students enrolled in the PKP program through the International College of Healing Arts will have access to forums and help from ICPKP’s interactive website www.icpkp.com. The PKP Certification Programme can not be taken remotely via the internet. Students must enroll with an accredited college and attend classes. In addition, students can easily transfer between colleges (and countries) with the agreement of both colleges. See www.icpkp.com for the list of countries with an accredited college.

On graduation, students receive an International Diploma from the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice. In New Zealand, the home of PKP, students may also receive a National Diploma in Kinesiology issued by the Government’s NZ Qualifications Authority.

This cybercollege programme was developed by medical doctor, Bruce Dewe MD and his wife, a teacher, Joan Dewe MA. Both Bruce and Joan have taught kinesiology workshops around the world for 20 years. Their unique finger-moding system, 5-Element and Amygdala Emotion Charts added new dimensions to consulting and take away guess-work from the process.

Ken Campbell, the International College of Healing Arts faculty for PKP training, was trained directly under Bruce and Joan Dewe, as spent 25 years in the western medical field, and has extensive experience in both western and eastern energy medicine and healthcare.(See Ken's Bio for more information)

The ICPKP Certification Programme teaches not only a wealth of kinesiology techniques, but includes personal development, relationship skills and the opportunity to make personal emotional and spiritual growth.

Comparing TFH, BKP and PKP
To contrast, Touch for Health has around 80hrs of training altogether whereas Professional Kinesiology Practice is a full-time, four-year course of study that trains people as health professionals in the kinesiology field. In New Zealand, the home of PKP, the ICPKP Diploma is the equivalent of an undergraduate (bachelors) degree.

In a nut shell, those who have completed Touch For Health are able to provide a certain level of kinesiology support for friends and family whereas a PKP graduate is able to work professionally with paying clients utilising a much deeper knowledge of kinesiology, human anatomy and physiology, and other modalities. Touch for Health forms an excellent foundation for students wishing to study for the ICPKP Diploma.

Program Structure
The PKP program begins with a ten course series called Basic Kinesiology Practice. Totalling approximately 350 hours of training. This series of courses provide you with a solid foundation in kinesiology on which you can build the skills needed to become a practitioner.

The program then continues with over 3 additional years of a full-time course of study that trains people as health professionals in the kinesiology field.

Basic Kinesiology Practice Program
BKP offer the first 10 courses in the PKP program. See the full BKP Curriculum Description.

PKP Course Descriptions
The course work for the 4 year program begins with BKP then continues with courses divided into the following categories:
(please note that all course descriptions link to the ICPKP website for detailed information)

A&P (anatomy and physiology)
A&P is the anatomy and physiology section of kinesiology.

EMS (emotional spiritual)
Here we explore the emotional and spiritual issues that each one of us faces daily and find new choices and healthy options.

PIB (performance integrated behaviors)
In this section of study we look at the way we perform, how well we are integrated and our instinctual behaviours.

OCT (other complementary therapies)
This section covers areas that are common to many natural therapies; for example, cultural sensitivity in a professional health practice.

JAF (jems and flowers)
How are joints, adrenals and flexibility related? Here is where we explore these relationships.

ECO (personal ecology)
Represents the Personal Ecology side of life or the way we interface with our enviroment and things like nutrition and exercise enhancement.

BFR (business, finance and records)
Business, finance and records is a third level unit, not because it is hard but because we don't need it until we are nearing the time when we move into a clinc.

VEF (vibrational energy fields)
The area where we look at Flower Essences and other more metaphysical issues.

MHP (meridians and holographic perception)
Where we look at meridians and holographic perception.

BVL (blood, viscera and lymph)
The area related to blood, viscera and lymph.

PDG (pelvic diaphragm and girdle)
The pelvic diaphragm and pelvic girdle are areas with the potential to cause pain and distress. We explore physical and metaphysical aspects.

RBT (regional body trigger points)
This where we look at the regional body trigger points.

HMR (hypertonic muscle release)
The study of hypertonic muscle release can enable us to help athletes who have muscles that do not release when they need to.

MST (Muscles, skin and tissues)
Muscles, skin and other tissues are the area we look at here. We learn how to work with shoulders, wrists, knees and other areas where muscles ache.
