AAPTA offers either individual or group coaching sessions for its members preparing for APC written and/or clinical exams.
- AAPTA coaching sessions have been designed predominantly to cater for the needs of members living overseas/interstate and regional area of Australia (who may have limited access to resources that may be needed for exam preparation) who would like to learn more about a specific clinical area or topic or assessment & treatment skills and ideas.
- Coaching is also suitable for anyone who is simply keen to have an individualised session to achieve a set of specific learning objectives.
- Coaching is offered in all three clinical areas (Neuro, Cardio-respiratory and Musculoskeletal components) and is offered in person (face to face) and/or via Skype, based on member's request.
- Coaching is facilitated by AAPTA's mentors who have considerable experience in the relevant clinical area.
- Fees for the coaching sessions are simply based on a number of participants willing to have coaching who may have the same or similar learning objectives.
- Should you need further information on coaching sessions or you need assistance on reviewing and establishing your learning needs/goals/objectives, feel free to contact us at info@aapta.org.au
