These AQTN certifications are not meant to prepare you to start a practice. They will not make you eligible to join an association. AQTN endorses The Great Courses, or TTC, as we believe their videos will benefit you and develop your scope of knowledge.
AQTN is privileged to have the permission to use TTC DVD's as content.
The anatomy and physiology certification has two sub-markets:
1) As an initiation to anatomy and physiology (A&P) for anyone interested in starting a practice or wanting to review A&P before or after a program in massage therapy, naturopathy or naturotherapy, or any other modality.
2) As a challenge exam (reconnaissance des acquis, RAC), as it is called in universities, meaning you take the test without going through the courses. As therapists, we often learn and acquire new knowledge without any recognition, year after year. This option is if you want a certificate to recognize your studies in A&P. We tested the exam on two cohorts to ensure it is adequately difficult.
By offering a standardized A&P course based on a highly reputable source, we hope to raise the bar (a little) for A&P in our unregulated Quebec market. Maybe even inspire a teacher or a school somewhere to improve on our concept, such as watching a 45 minute key lecture as a group, followed by a discussion for another hour, with prepared notes and material to memorize.

Correspondance courses are not for everyone. Here are some tips to succeed:
Set aside some time, on a regular basis, and commit to spending that time to progressing with the work load. You must have self-discipline, and you must also be interested in the material.
