New Certificate IV course in 2025

We are excited to launch a new Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy in February 2025.

While we cannot enrol students in the new course until that time, we want to inform you about the upcoming changes and how they may affect your study plans.

If you enrol now, you can remain at 2024 pricing, before our fees go up in 2025, provided you complete all course requirements before 31 December 2025.

Key Changes to the New Certificate IV:

  • The new course will include an additional unit of competency: Conduct e-marketing communications, designed to enhance your marketing skills for the online space.
  • This course will not be equivalent to the current Certificate IV (10846NAT).

Options for Current Students:

  • Migrate to the New Course: Enrolling before February 2025? You have the option to transition to the new course and complete the additional unit, ensuring you receive the most up-to-date qualification.
  • Stay on the Current Course: You may choose to complete your current course (10846NAT) without the additional unit. However, all coursework must be finished by the end of 2025, as we can only issue qualifications for the current course within a limited timeframe. If you don't complete it by then, you’ll need to transfer to the new course structure.

Please keep this timeline in mind when planning your studies.

A Note on Fees: We’ve worked hard to keep fees low despite rising costs, but there will be a necessary fee increase for the new course in 2025, reflecting both inflation and the additional subject content.

In 2025, the total course cost for the Certificate IV will be $6,960.

New Diploma course in 2025

We are excited to launch a new Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy in February 2025.

While we can't enrol students in the new Diploma until then, we want to keep you informed about the upcoming changes.

The new Diploma will be equivalent to the current Diploma (10847NAT). This means that if you enrol in the current course before February 2025, you will automatically transition to the new qualification, ensuring you graduate with the most up-to-date certification.

A Note on Fees: We’ve worked hard to keep fees low despite rising costs, but there will be a necessary fee increase for the new course in 2025, reflecting both inflation and the additional subject content.

In 2025, the total course cost for the Diploma will be $6,300.
