<p>Assessment is a supportive experience to <b>identify areas where you
might need to focus</b> to improve your <i>skill, knowledge and understanding</i> in order
to gain your Licence to Practise. The standard is high.
Be ready to take more than one opportunity. </p>
<p><font class="highlight">Assessment Pre-Requisites:</font></p>
<p>You must have completed at least 85% of the Professional Course Requirements
to take the Assessment and complete 100% to gain the Licence.</p>
<p>Your Course Fees must be fully paid</p>
<p>You must have passed the Reliability Module</p>
<p>Your assessment may be observed by students. The whole process takes up to two hours. You are given feedback following each module and
will be present for the final discussion where you will know the result immediately:
either PASS, or RETAKE one or more of the following Modules at a later date with possible
recommendations to present additional treatments, case-studies, theory-work or to repeat
specific training. </p>
<p><font class="highlight">Assessment Modules: </font></p>
<p>Provided they pass the Reliability Module, candidates who
pass any module at an Assessment Training Day will be not be required to re-take that
module at Final Assessment.</p>
<p><b>Reliability </b>When you apply for Final Assessment and
anyway before an Assessment Training Day the Tutors will check your attendance record over
the last 6 months of both your Professional and your Diploma course. If you have been late for a total of more than 60
minutes throughout that 6-month period, you will be asked to delay your Assessment for 3
months while you attend/repeat all modules with 100% punctuality.<b> </b></p>
<p><b>Skill & Understanding</b> includes Touch (contact,
connection, pressure, ki-projection), Grounding, and
Professional Manner. <b><i>You diagnose and give a treatment explaining throughout
what you are doing and why. </i></b></p>
<p><b>Knowledge & Understanding </b>Candidates will be required to answer orally
and where appropriate by practical demonstration or treatment to the satisfaction by
consensus of the assessors: </p>
<p>One Main Question with
supplementary questions as considered appropriate by the assessors on any aspect,
practical or theoretical, of each of the following: </p>
<ul>
<li>Zen-masunaga Shiatsu </li>
<li>Classical Meridians and Points </li>
<li>Five Element Theory </li>
<li>Anatomy Physiology and Pathology, using the textbook Shiatsu/medical jargon. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Understanding</b> includes application of your
knowledge and skill to treatments: analysis and discussion of your case-studies. This
Module is assessed on an ongoing basis at the
Case-Study afternoons. You do not have to
retake it in your Final Assessment or at Training Days. </p>
<p>On gaining your Professional Licence (<b>LicZS</b>) you may advertise yourself as a qualified Shiatsu
Therapist or Practitioner and will be referred to as such on the register of the Zen
Shiatsu Society. Your <b>LicZS </b>entitles you to the necessary letter of
recommendation to any other body to whom you may wish to apply. <i>It is your
responsibility to ascertain the </i><b>current</b> <i>requirements of an external body and
to be aware that all such requirements are subject to change.</i></p>
