What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a safe, effective breath-based modality for personal well-being and transformation. It is a simple yet profound psychotherapeutic process that offers something unique and exciting in the field of holistic health. Breathwork effectively meets needs in a society where there is an ever-increasing incidence of stress, depression and other allied health problems. Conscious connected breathing, allied with mindfulness, intention and deep relaxation, allows you to access and resolve a wide range of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual issues. As you study to become a Breathwork assistant, practitioner and facilitator you will develop greater self-awareness and self-esteem, learn to facilitate your own transformational journey, and gain valuable life skills enabling you to create the life of your choice.

Breathwork Trainings Breathwork training helps you to:

• Enhance your existing life skills and actualise your personal potential • Increase your existing professional skills in allied health care • Qualify professionally in the field of Breathwork

Our personal development program supports you to:

• Increase your level of self awareness and intuitive knowing • Learn to be present to yourself and others • Develop listening and support skills that will enhance all of your relationships • Realise optimal emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing

Assurance of Quality Standards – accreditation

The courses that Breathwork Training International offers are in the process of accredited through VETAB [2011].

Enrolment

Suitable applicants need to demonstrate:

• A strong commitment to their own self-development • Respect and consideration towards others • Maturity in accepting feedback and handling personal emotional issues • Willingness to accept guidance • The ability to be physically, emotionally and intellectually capable of

conducting Breathwork consultations

Additionally, applicants need to have experienced a minimum of 3 individual Breathwork sessions before undertaking the Certificate III in Breathwork Assistant. Applicants with a non-English speaking background are required to have a minimum standard of English language proficiency [IELTS 5.5]. Enrolment includes the completion of the application form at the end of this prospectus as well as attending a personal interview.

Recognition of Prior Learning What is it?

RPL recognises what you have already learned from other courses, from life experience, from work experience and from any training provided at work, and measures this against the course you are doing or want to do. If what you have learned at work or elsewhere is relevant to the course, you may not have to do those parts of the course again.

Why apply for RPL?

It is important to apply for RPL if you think you already have experience that might be relevant to your course. The advantages of applying for RPL are:

8

• You can determine whether your experience is similar to that required by the course.

• If you have already achieved some of the learning outcomes of the course, you might not have to do those sections of the course again. This could mean finishing your course much earlier, or not having such a heavy course load.

• RPL means that you only need to study subjects which are new and challenging. You do not have to study in areas where you have already gained skills and knowledge.

• RPL recognises that you are entering a course with already acquired skills; that you are no longer a beginner in your field.

How it works - What happens?

If you decide to apply for RPL you will be asked to complete an application form giving details of your relevant experience, skills and knowledge. An RPL assessor will help you identify what evidence you need to provide for a successful application. When you feel you have gathered together sufficient evidence, the RPL assessor will arrange a formal interview with you. At the interview, the assessor will examine your documented evidence and ask you questions to determine whether you are eligible for recognition of prior learning. After the interview, you will be notified of the RPL decision. If your application is successful, you will not be required to do certain parts of the course program. If your application is unsuccessful, you can appeal against the decision if you believe it was unfair.

What do I do now?

If you think you might be eligible for RPL, you need to ask for an RPL application form. (Take this information sheet with you to make sure you get the right form.) If you are not sure about whether to apply for RPL, you should: 1. Obtain an RPL form from the BTI office. 2. Discuss your situation with the course trainer and/or assessor.

Financial Safeguard – payment, trust fund BTI has a policy to safeguard tuition fees paid by the student. Deposits are held in trust until such time that the student has completed their enrolment.

A refund policy protects the student’s tuition fees [see below].

In the case of BTI being unable to continue offering a course the student can either receive a refund for any incomplete units of study, or the funds for incomplete units of study can be transferred to another training provider.

Fee Payment and Refund Policy Payment

To secure a place in a particular course, successful applicants must pay a minimum of 10% non-refundable deposit of the full course fee no less than 2 weeks prior to the commencement of their chosen course. All fees paid are held in the BTI Trust account.

Refund

A fee refund, less the non-refundable deposit, will only be given if a student cancels before the commencement of the course. Once the course has commenced no money paid is refundable (see Deferment of Course and Fee Credit for any extenuating circumstances).

10

Deferment of Course and Fee Credit Clients may receive a pro-rata credit, less the non-refundable deposit, if they cannot continue the course for unavoidable reasons such as the death of an immediate family member or incapacitating illness. The credit can be used to pay for a future course of their choice, within a 2-year period of their withdrawal from the course. Any credit of fees held is for the use of that client only and is non-transferable to other persons. Any credit of fees being held for the use of a client is non-refundable. Students wishing to defer their studies must advise BTI in writing. Any fee increases or policy changes made during their time of deferment apply to the student upon re-enrolment.

Course Cancellation

In the event of insufficient enrolments BTI reserves the right to cancel or postpone any course up to 7 days prior to the commencement of the course In such cases the students will be informed in writing that their fees will be credited towards the next scheduled course, or refunded in full, according to their preference. In the unlikely event of course cancellation by Breathwork Trainings International Pty Ltd, full fee refund including the deposit will be made to clients.
