Course
Part Two: Advanced / Medical TheoryPart Two will also be undertaken using the computer tutorial to expand the student's knowledge of medical and technical terminology. Likewise, this portion of the course will include supervision and interaction with the Principal. Testing will be undertaken at regular intervals. Students/ participants should be prepared to be tested at all times so that reading back and checking notes become routine.
A minimum of four hours per day should be spent on the tutorial. It should be noted however, that frequent breaks should be taken (approximately 10 minutes in every hour) when working on the computer tutorial – as with all computer work. The more effort put into the programme, the more the student/participant gets out of it and the sooner the skill is obtained.
Students/participants will vary in the time taken to complete the basic and advanced theory. This will depend on the time devoted to training and, of course, the particular aptitude of the student/participant.
Students/participants studying full-time should aim to complete the advanced theory portion of the course in four to five months, thereafter building up speed to the required amount. Note that these times are only a rough guide. Some students will progress at a faster rate and others at a slower one. It cannot be stressed too highly that students/participants progress at differing rates and all work on the computer tutorial is to be undertaken at a steady pace with accuracy of stroking being of paramount importance.
If students/participants have not completed the advanced theory/medical tutorials and/or skill/speed-building within 24 months, then they can continue on the course (with continuing support from the Principal) upon continued payment of the quarterly fee.
