KINESIOLOGY SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA (KSA) IS A REGISTERED TRAINING
ORGANISATION OFFERING A NATIONALLY RECOGNISED DIPLOMA IN
KINESIOLOGY AND IS ACCREDITED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE
OF PROFESSIONAL KINESIOLOGY PRACTICE (ICPKP).
Kinesiology Schools Australia (KSA) offers the highest quality Kinesiology training
available.
Unlike many colleges, our emphasis is on Kinesiology and Kinesiology alone. All
our lecturers are high level Specialised Kinesiology Practitioners with years of
experience to pass on to students. This is a guarantee we are proud of.
Some colleges have been known to offer Kinesiology qualifications where
students will become massage therapists with little Kinesiology knowledge.
Kinesiology Schools Australia are the specialists in the industry. We only offer
quality Kinesiology courses and we know our graduates will be sought after
practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to be successful in a
Kinesiology practice.
KSA does not just offer Kinesiology techniques. We offer a successful protocol
that has been proven through time by many practitioners. The quality techniques,
high level lecturers who are all practitioners, and proven protocol guide our
graduates to success. This is why we are the best at what we do.
If you want a successful Kinesiology practice, Kinesiology Schools Australia is here
for you. You can search for other colleges but there is no need to look any
further. This is the course for you.
The Kinesiology taught by Kinesiology Schools Australia is the only style of
Kinesiology researched at a University and successfully shown to be effective.
KINESIOLOGY SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA CONSISTS OF 7 CAMPUSES
THROUGHOUT QUEENSLAND, NEW SOUTH WALES, AND VICTORIA.
HLT52415 Diploma in Kinesiology is accredited by:
- ASQA (the Australian Skills Quality Authority)
- AKA (Australian Kinesiology Association)
- AIK (Australian Institute of Kinesiologists)
- Qualifies for Austudy assistance (Centrelink approved)

A Quick Overview:
Kinesiology Schools Australia offer two high quality Kinesiology courses:
- HLT52415 Diploma in Kinesiology
- Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 (KPL1)
On completion of the KSA Diploma in Kinesiology you will be a competent and
confident Kinesiology practitioner, recognised by both Australian Kinesiology
associations (AIK and AKA), the Australian National Training Authority (ASQA) and
the health funds that pay rebates on Kinesiology. The advanced techniques and skills
you acquire in this course enable you to become a successful and highly sought after
professional Kinesiologist.
Year One Kinesiology subjects start with the basics, providing the most solid
grounding in the field and build to conclude with some powerful intermediate
techniques so you can start your career while you complete your Diploma. After the
first year you will be able to register as a level 1 Kinesiology practitioner with either
the AKA or the AIK and can start building your practice.
Year Two Kinesiology subjects continue your skills to advanced, making sure you
have the best opportunity for success.
Throughout the Diploma there is plenty of practical experience gained in class
activities during every unit, student clinic, expo’s (optional at no extra cost) and
optional student practice nights (at no extra cost). All this along with the supervision
of your experienced teacher fine tunes your skills so you obtain the best possible
results with your clients. Our graduates are amongst the best in the field and
become highly sought after practitioners.
Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 KPL1 will be the first 11 months of the new Diploma
and will fulfil the requirements for a level one practitioner with the Kinesiology
associations but is not ASQA accredited and therefore not Austudy approved.
KPL1 Kinesiology Practitioner Level 1 is accredited by:
- AKA (Australian Kinesiology Association)
- AIK (Australian Institute of Kinesiologists)
KPL1 Graduates qualify to join associations (AKA and AIK) and work as a
Kinesiologist. All units of KPL1 are included in the first year of Diploma.

Kinesiology Unit Descriptions
BKP101 Energisers and Self Testing
This first unit is all about teaching you how to take care of and balance yourself.
After all, you the practitioner must stay healthy in body and mind to be able to
help others. These techniques can also be used to teach clients some basic skills
they can use at home to help themselves between consultations. Basic
anatomical parts of the body and terminology are also learnt. Setting well worded
powerful goals is the basis of a good Kinesiology balance. In this unit you will
learn the skills for goal setting that will be used in every balance in the future.
BKP102 Proficient Manual Muscle Testing
This unit introduces you to the art of muscle testing, which is the basis of
Kinesiology. You learn to balance other people, using brain/muscle feedback,
known as muscle testing or muscle monitoring, to identify dysfunctions and
stress. You also learn how to identify and correct the most common causes of
disorganisation in the brain.
BKP103 Introduction to the Law of Five Elements
An introduction of Chinese 5 Element philosophies to balance the energy using
colour, sound and the emotions is the theme of this unit. Here you will learn
techniques to correct and confirm the changes you make in a 5 Element balance
and using food to strengthen muscles, meridians and organs.
BKP104 Kinesiology and Superficial Connections
Using the direction of energy flow you will learn a number of effective ways to
improve and restore balance to meridians and their related muscles and organs.
Students also learn more basic Anatomy and Physiology.
BKP105 The Law of Five Elements In-Depth
Learning the 5 Element principles in depth and working with the full chart of
emotions takes you to a whole new level of knowledge. An extra 14 muscles
allows you a greater variety of ways to balance the client. You will also learn how
to identify and use one single correction to return the person to balance.
BKP106 Professional Skills – Balancing Protocol with PKP Database BKP106
brings much of what you have previously learnt together. Using the specialised
protocols that set PKP Kinesiology ahead of the rest, you will learn how to use
finger modes and to go back to balance stressful times in the past that affect us
today. This is a real turning point and turns you into a practitioner.
10
BKP107 Pain Reduction
This unit teaches you how to evaluate and reduce pain using a number of simple
but powerful techniques. This is a favourite with most students as there are
always people with pain. By the end of this weekend many students no longer
have the pains they have had for years. This opens a huge potential to bring
clients in to your clinic.
BKP108 Balancing with Food
Focusing on nutrition this unit teaches an understanding of why the body requires
a variety of nutrients and how the body uses these nutrients. We also look at a
number of ‘diets’ and how to test the person to see if they may react to foods. By
the end of this unit you will be able to balance people and help them achieve
optimal nutrition for their wellbeing or whatever activity they require.
BKP109 Advanced Muscle Techniques – Reactivity and Posture
In this unit you start learning the first of the advanced techniques where
messages from the brain are confused causing reoccurring problems.
EMS201 Mastery of Emotional Stress Release
This unit develops skills to defuse a variety of emotional stress issues and help the
client come up with answers to their problems and move forward. Techniques
include active listening, challenges to authority and terminating a relationship
and more importantly how and when to use each one. This is a unit all
Kinesiologists need.
EMS302 Subconscious Self-Perception
Here you will learn how to find and work with the subtle messages that interfere
with achieving your desired outcomes in life. Those little voices and self-talk
known as sabotage programs, misperceptions and misunderstandings and those
little hypnotic messages that have snuck up on us over time affect our every
essence.
ECO201 Lifestyle and Dietary Modification
Here you learn Kinesiology techniques relating to dietary habits and lifestyle and
how to identify nutritional excess and deficiencies and when clients need to add
or delete supplements and alter foods.
ECO202 Immune Mismatch Responses, Allergies and Hypersensitivities
Continuing where BKP108 stops, you learn various sensitivity techniques to
identify and release stressful foods and substances (sensitivities and reactions).
These are becoming an epidemic in our society. Learn how you can help.
11
ECO301 Adrenal, Geopathic and Life Energy
Completing this unit will help you increase energy, vitality and high level wellness
by balancing fatigue-vitality, adrenal dysfunction and lifestyle change and create
a personal enhancement programme.
JAF201 TMJ and Cranials
Headaches and migraines are just two symptoms caused by jaw muscles and
cranial problems. Here you learn to reset these imbalances bringing relief to
many. The cranial bones are also involved in learning difficulties, emotional stress
and numerous other problems.
JAF301 Ligaments and Joints
This unit teaches advanced techniques so you can work effectively with ligament
and joint injuries affecting so many people. Many people ‘put up’ with pain
simply because they don’t know how they can be helped. JAF301 is the answer to
many of these problems.
MST201 Muscle and Skin Activation
MST201 develops skills and understanding in identifying and correcting meridian
energy imbalance related to muscle circuits, skin, scars, blood chemistry, thymus
and spleen energy. This variety of techniques covers a number of key areas not
previously covered in other units.
MST202 Shoulder, Elbow, Hand Muscle Protocol
You will learn test and correction techniques to release pain, increase the
function and performance of the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers. We all know
people with pain and MST202, MST203 and MST301 are major units to release
these pains. With this unit you will be able to help most non-surgical injuries from
shoulder to finger tips.
MST203 Hip, Leg and Foot Muscles
This unit is similar to MST202 except it is for the lower extremities. You will
master ‘test and correction’ techniques to release pain, increase the function and
performance of the hip, leg, knee and foot. You will be able to help most
nonsurgical injuries from hip to toe.
MST301 Head, Neck and Trunk Protocol
The variety of muscles learnt in this unit helps you fine tune areas that most
practitioners wouldn’t know where to even start. These are muscles of the face,
eyes, throat, tongue, upper neck and the small back muscles. This can help with
the very common neck pain to the more specific muscles used in singing,
swallowing and speech.
12
PIB203 Basic Brain Integration Skills
Learning difficulties is a topic of high discussion. Kinesiology is a huge help to both
adults and children with these problems. In this unit you will learn techniques
related to neurological blind spots caused by fear, pain and self-doubt for
learning difficulties and dyslexia.
VEF201 Flower Essences
Flower essences open up a whole new world to students. Through flower
essences you learn to identify and utilize insights relating to their properties and
photographic images of flowers, to re-balance mental, emotional and spiritual
energy.
VEF301 Gems and other Vibrational Energy Fields
Continuing from VEF201 you will learn about the healing powers of a variety of
powerful vibrational healing systems such as gems, tissue salts and homeopathics
and their use within Kinesiology.
VEF302 Metaphysical Energy Fields
In this unit you will learn how to evaluate and correct a variety of vibrational
energy fields such as chakras and the auric fields that are vital in connecting our
physical body to our environment which play a big part in our health and how we
perform.
13
Non Kinesiology Units: 12 units completed externally over 2½ years
Anatomy and Physiology & Pathophysiology HLTAAP003 Analyze and respond to Client Health Information
AP1 provides a solid basis of all systems of the body. Students will have a good
understanding of Anatomy & Physiology and will find this unit straight forward
and to the point. Pathophysiology follows on from AP1 teaching the student to
identify pathophysiologies or changing pathologies through observation, physical
assessment and analysis of other available information. In having this detailed
understanding of anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology of disease you
will be able to implement a problem solving approach on how to plan, care for
and manage your clients.
Clinical Safety HLTWHS004 Manage Work Place Health and Safety - Safe Work Practices HLTINF004 Manage Control of Infection
This unit is a combination of infection control and workplace health and safety
with the aim of keeping you and your clients safe.
Small Business Planning & Marketing BSBSMB403 Market a Small Business BSBSMB404 Undertake Small Business Planning
To be a great Kinesiologist is one thing but you must be able to plan and market
your business. You could be the best practitioner in history but if clients don’t
know about you then you will not succeed. Here you will learn to plan your
business and also learn proven modern marketing skills to keep your costs down
while you bring clients to your door.
Nutrition & Recommending Health & Nutritional Products HLTHPS010 Interpret and use information about Nutrition and Diet SIRXRPK001A Advise on Health and Nutritional Products and Services
This two part unit teaches the student to interpret and use basic information
about nutritional principles and healthy diet. Students also learn to safely
recommend and provide advice on health and nutritional products and services
to customers.
14
Mentoring CHCORG627B Provide mentoring support to colleagues
This unit provides the opportunity for you to revise your first year techniques and
theories while learning to talk the talk. One of the best ways to really ‘own’ your
skills is to teach it and explain it to others. It also prepares you to talk to other
professionals such as doctors.
Research CHCPOL003 Research and apply Evidence to your Practice
This unit teaches you the skills required to gather information of a research
nature and critically analyse the information for relevance to your work as a
kinesiologist.
Provide First Aid HLTAID003 Provide First Aid

Communication, Legal & Ethics CHCCOM006 Establish and manage Client Practitioner Relationships
CHCPRP003 Reflect on and improve own Professional Practice CHCLEG003 Manage legal and ethical Compliance
The ability to communicate effectively both professionally and personally is a key
skill for any health practitioner. During this unit you will understand your legal
and ethical responsibilities as a Kinesiologist and business operator. Using your
communication skills, you will also learn how to critically reflect on your own
practice and services while maintaining your legal requirements.
15
Why Study With Kinesiology Schools Australia
KSA is dedicated exclusively to teaching Kinesiology, allowing for focussed
learning in this specialist field.
We pride ourselves on our student support including online training resources, student practise nights and an amazing Facebook community where students can share highlights and ask questions.
Both industry bodies accredit our courses – the Australian Kinesiology Association
(AKA) and the Australian Institute of Kinesiology (AIK) are the two industry bodies for
Kinesiology.
The Diploma in Kinesiology is a fully progressive course. A specific protocol is taught so that students have an organised order to follow to ensure success in the fastest time possible.
The Diploma in Kinesiology is Austudy approved.
As Kinesiology is a “hands on modality” we allow for plenty of practical experience.
Graduates of the Diploma can join either industry body as a professional member
and qualify for their clients to receive Health Fund Rebates.
Courses are taught on weekends (check with your local campus) so that people can still work while they study.
All Kinesiology units are face to face with a teacher. We do not believe that
Kinesiology can be taught successfully via correspondence.
We offer non-Kinesiology units by correspondence so that students can start at any time and study in their own time.
KSA has 7 campuses from Melbourne to Hervey Bay – if a student moves interstate
they can transfer their studies easily for a minimal administration fee.
All our lecturers are high quality active Kinesiology practitioners who have completed advanced specialised training with the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice.
Kinesiology Schools Australia is big enough to be a professional organisation, but
small enough to still be personal and treat you as a person and not a number.
PKP has a proven record since the early 80s and is one of the only Kinesiology styles backed with University research.
Professionally written by a medical doctor.
