					<p align="left"><font class="highlight">Please don&#146;t spend more than 3 hours on an assignment</font> -
					at first you might find you don&#146;t get far in that time. Please do not worry about this. <i>Now please read this paragraph again</i></p>
					<p>The <b>Intermediate Diploma </b>course is a self-assessment cycle of 4 Reading
					assignments, 38 self-assessed Learning-Modules, and 1 Review and 1 Validation
					Assignment. Tutorial and Application
					sessions are on Tuesdays and or Thursdays 2.30 to 9.30pm, <b>OR</b> weekends (Sat &
					Sun 10 am to 5 pm) based on the 3rd Saturday of each month (<i>except Bank Holiday weekends) </i></p>
					<p><b>Each Learning-Module has four parts:</b></p>
					<b>
					<ul>
					<li>Assignment</li>
					<li>Tutorial</li>
					<li>Application</li>
					<li>Learning-Treatments. </li>
					</ul>
					</b>
					<p>The <b>Assignment</b> is preparation in your own time of the subject to be covered in the next Tutorial.</p>
					<p><b>Tutorial</b> and<b> Application</b> sessions
					are held in School, to share discussion of the assignment, identify areas for further
					study or review, and apply the learning with guidance from your tutor. Application will focus on practical meridian and
					tsubo work and diagnosis. </p>
					<p><b>Learning-Treatments </b>are two or three unsupervised
					treatments per module, given to family, friends or fellow-students, making notes after
					each treatment of what you did to familiarise yourself with the current <i>learning-meridian,</i>
					its required tsubos, and the different aspects of diagnosis. <a href="ls_diptreatments.html">Click here for
					Learning-Treatment Guidance Notes</a>: (<b>you are not expected to write notes on what
					you haven&#146;t yet studied!</b>) Please
					keep up-to-date with learning-treatments: you need to present notes of 100 of them. </p>
					<p>When you have completed all four parts of a Learning-Module, please ask your
					tutor to validate the Module Assignment Sheet and stamp your Completion Record</p>
					<p>You must start on the <a href="ls_diploma_study_cycle.html">cycle of Learning-Modules</a>
					when you have attained CPS <b>and</b> completed the Reading Assignments (overleaf.)
					<b>Until then, you should sit in on Tutorials as part of your training, while you focus
					your practice-treatments on the CPS	assessment.</b> </p>
					<p>If you are combining this course with the Professional Licence, please note that
					learning-treatments and Case-study treatments are <b>separate</b> requirements.
					Intermediate Diploma <i>learning-treatments</i> are student-centred learning experiences,
					whereas the Professional Course Case Studies focus on Receivers&#146; conditions. </p>
					<p>On completion of at least 33
					Learning-Modules including 100 learning-treatment notes, you may take the Review
					Assignment in preparation for the <b>&#147;Last
					Assignment&#148; </b> where you locate and treat (<i>to treat, you need to know functions and uses as well as location</i>) any of the meridians and
					required tsubos; to explain the following aspects of any anatomical system (<i>in plain
					language as if to a Receiver with no medical/Shiatsu knowledge</i>): </p>
					<ol>
					<li>Components & Structure</li.>Functions</li>
					<li>Relationship with other Systems</li>
					<li>Conditions</li>
					</ol>
					<p>On successful completion your Tutor will award you
					your Intermediate Diploma in Zen Shiatsu (DipZS), which is pre-requisite for the
					Professional Licence Assessment.</p>
					<p>Please note that Course
					fees are non-refundable in any event once you have started this course or any part of a
					course combination. </i></p>
