Good course with basic guidelines - very suitable for those new to the profession or those wanting to improve the safety and professionalism further
Very straight forward, easy to follow and a valuable refresher. Will definitely be making use of the resources included in the course. Would definitely recommend!
It was a clear, well organized course with practical information that I can apply immediately in my practice. The instructor explained concepts in a logical and easy-to-follow way. I would definitely recommend this course to all Biokineticists!
The actual course content was great a very good refresher and reminder of how things should be managed in your first consultation and all the relevant paper work to have.
This course was informative and a good summary and revision of aspects to consider for the first consultation with a patient or client.
Wonderfully presented! Incredibly helpful. Lovely to have the PDFs on hand to ensure confident first consultations!
Incredibly thorough and practical. I felt provided with many examples of case studies to improve my decision making according to the ACSM guidlines. Very well presented

"Very Insightful. This course is very helpful especially for new junior Biokineticists starting out in clinical practice, as it points out a few of the finer details that we would not necessarily consider."
Calista Ellis
Biokineticist
"Make sure to revisit these tools. I think this course is suitable for interns, new bio's as well as those who have been practicing for a while. It provides you with good tools to implement within your practice and makes you rethink the way you approach an initial consultation. I enjoyed the case study scenarios which allowed you to practice your pre-participation screening tools and it allowed you the opportunity to test yourself. It helped me to realise my own flaws and shortcomings in this regard which I can now improve on. In summary, the course is well presented, does not take too much of your time and you learn some practical applications which is always beneficial in our line of work. If you have the opportunity to do it, go for it!"

"I received an amazing opportunity to complete a short online course which take about 3-4 hours max . It provided great information which was provided in 7 modules and included a quick test / quiz at end of the course. You also have an option to redo your quiz should you obtain a score that you are not satisfied with .
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Suzan Cronje for the amazing and wonderful course she had created for a quick and easy learning . Simplified PowerPoint presentation and an amazing way to understand the would have biokinetics and fitness .
I would strongly recommend this course to any and everyone in the health and fitness industry. It is quick and provides a various important information."
