How To Become a Colon Hydrotherapist
This page provides an overview of the things to consider if you are thinking about applying to train as a colon hydrotherapist and what you can expect during your training with RICTAT. We’d very much encourage you to join this wonderful modality. Our training meets national occupational standards and we have been training successfully for over fifteen years with prominent alumni who have gone on to work in the media as well as develop numerous clinic chains. Students also receive ongoing support after training in business set-up if required. In total the course has 381 hours of study some of which is guided, self-study, remote and in person.
Before you begin your practical training there are some course prequisites, we have several access routes. If you hold a recognized certificate in Anatomy and Physiology Academic NQF Level 4 or Level 5 (eg A Level or higher) or are, or have been, a Doctor, Nurse, Physiotherapist, Nutritionist, Naturopath etc you can request accreditation of prior learning, (APL) this allows you to gain academic credits from prior learning or experience.
If you don’t have this then you can undertake RICTAT’s access course in Anatomy and Physiology at level 4 which is delivered by RICTAT as a self-study online course. This course is an estimated 80 guided learning hours and is studied over a period of 3 – 6 months depending on available time to study.
Our course in Anatomy and Physiology is a self-study course consisting of 12 units. We recommend two textbooks to accompany the course which will give you a good understanding of the body systems eg. digestive, circulatory, etc. in preparation for your practical training at one of our recognized schools.
Following the successful completion of the Anatomy and Physiology module you receive some extended questions to be completed and submitted to your tutor before your practical training commences. There will also be an informal interview with your Tutor for them to introduce themselves to you and to gain a little more insight as to why you want to train as a Colon Hydrotherapist.
Your practical training will take place at one of our many Schools. There are four based in the UK, North, Midlands and South, N. Ireland and around the world in Ireland, Nigeria, Dubai, Canada and South Africa.
During your practical training you will undertake 140 hours of classroom tutoring some of which is virtual, this will include:
• In-depth study of the digestive system including disease states, and common digestive problems.
• Theory and history of Colon Hydrotherapy
• Contra-indications to treatment
• Guidance in relation to setting up a Colon Hydrotherapy Business
• Observation and participation in Colon Hydrotherapy treatments
• Students will be expected to receive treatment during their training
There will be a final exam lasting approximately 2 hours for students to demonstrate their knowledge of the Anatomy and Physiology of the digestive structures and theory, in relation to the practical aspects of Colon Hydrotherapy.
On completion of this module, students will then present to their tutor 15 case studies on treatments that they have undertaken (some of these will be undertaken during your practical training).
