Correspondence Courses
Very little, except for the mini courses that are taken directly from a larger course. For example, there are four mini courses that present the same material that is in Scientific Back Training; Functional Anatomy of the Back, Understanding Force Couple Relationships, Choosing a Lumbar Lifting Posture and Squatology. The other courses each focus on a particular topic. Due to the integrative nature of the human body, there will be references to other courses or sections that demonstrate how different topics are related.
2. What is the test taking procedure for the Correspondence Courses?
Follow the instructions for the course, which you can find in the front of the course manual. Generally, this involves watching the videos and following along in the manual. You may be required to perform some assessments or exercises on a partner. When you feel you have mastered the information and techniques in the course, take the test, which is found in the back of the manual. Most are multiple choice or short answer. Some require a training program designed for a case study. Fill in your answers on the answer sheet provided. Make sure you write your name and address also! Send the answer sheets in to:
C.H.E.K Institute
Sycamore Business Center
2105 Industrial Court
Vista, CA 92083 , U.S.A.
You can also fax them to: (760) 477-2630
3. How long does it take to get test results?
Once we receive your test, it takes about 10 days to 2 weeks for us to mark it and send out your certificate of completion. Depending on where you are located, you should get your test results back within one month of sending them to us (this will be longer for overseas students). If you require a faster turnaround, due to a deadline, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate this. Faxing your test to us will facilitate this. We will fax a copy of your certificate of completion back to you, so that you have a record of the continuing education credits. The original certificate will be sent in the mail as usual.
