<p align="left"><font class="highlight">Please don’t spend more than 3 hours on an assignment</font> -
at first you might find you don’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’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’ 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>“Last
Assignment” </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>
