THE AQUASOMA ESSENTIALS SPECIALIST INTENSIVE TRAINING
The intensive, certifying programme is designed for those who wish to compress their training into a defined period of time and return home with a professional certificate in hand, ready to work with their clients.
In 15 full-time days we condense all the training activities that are normally spread over a period of 1 to 3 months.
These comprise:
2+6 days of group learning related to the Intro and Foundation,
5 days dedicated to Practicum (practices among students),
2 experiential sessions (sessions to be received by students from Certified Specialists),
individual lessons with an Instructor,
the certification exam in two sessions.
