	1. Part One £350 (Course Dates) (from 1st Feb 2008 £395) The E.C.B.S four day Part One Introductory Course to The Bowen Technique is designed to give a solid grounding in the theory and practice of the technique. It is structured to give clear and detailed instruction, visual demonstration, anecdotal information and, most importantly, plenty of supervised hands-on experience for the student as the basic moves of the therapy are mastered. E.C.B.S. Detailed and illustrated teaching notes will be provided on the course. Upon completion of Part One, students will have a working knowledge of the technique which will enable them to continue their learning through further independent practice. In order to establish a level of understanding and proficiency, those students who wish to progress through the subsequent training levels will be asked to record ten treatments (30 sessions) prior to Part Threel, for which a log book will be provided on the course. A further ten cases are required as part of the Part Fivel assessment level. Details of this are given on the relevant levels. Between training dates, E.C.B.S teachers and office staff are available to advise students and provide any help that may be needed. Our policy is support and backup at all times. TOP
	2. Part Two £135 (Course Dates) (from 1st April 2008 £160) The two day Part Two review will aim to ensure that the students’ knowledge of the basic moves is solid. By this stage students will have gained some experience through their practice of the technique and Part Two will build on and refine this. As students will be in the process of compiling the Practise Log Book, assistance and discussion will also focus on this. TOP
	3. Part Three £270 (Course Dates) (from 1st June 2008 £295) The three day Part Three will teach new moves to the students. Up until now, the procedures learned have dealt primarily with the structural aspects of the body.

Three weeks before commencing this course, students will be asked to send a copy of their Practise Log Book to the teacher conducting the level. Students are required to submit a further ten case studies (30 treatments) for assessment prior to attending Part Five There is a minimum interval of four months between Part One and Part Three TOP
	4. Part Four £135 (Course Dates) (from 1st August 2008 £160) Part Four is the final stop before the Part Five assessment level.

Students will have the opportunity to discuss case histories and to be certain that any questions are fully answered. TOP
	5. Part Five: Including Assessment & Examination £350 (Course Dates) (from 1st October 2008 £395) The three day Part Five level will be a review and practise of all the work learnt so far.

The second series of cases will be returned and a written evaluation on these given to each student. While the levels to be covered within the course of study could be completed in a MINIMUM of nine months, this will be dependent upon availability of dates and venues. TOP
