New Certificate IV course in 2025

Our new Certificate IV in Bowen Therapy 11273NAT launched on 1 February 2025.

Key Changes to the New Certificate IV:

  • The new course includes an additional unit of competency: Conduct e-marketing communications designed to enhance your marketing skills for the online space.
  • This course is not equivalent to the previous Certificate IV (10846NAT).
  • All students enrolling in 2025 will be enrolled in the new course.

Options for students who enrolled prior to 1 February 2025:

  • Migrate to the New Course: You have the option to transition from 10846NAT to the new 11273NAT course and complete the additional unit, ensuring you receive the most up-to-date qualification.
  • Stay on the Current Course: You may choose to complete your current course (10846NAT) without the additional unit. However, all coursework must be finished by the end of 2025, as we can only issue qualifications for the current course within a limited timeframe. If you don't complete it by then, you’ll need to transfer to the new course.

Students enrolling from 1 February 2025 will automatically be enrolled in the new course.

New Diploma course in 2025
Our new Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy 11274NAT launched on 1 February 2025. The new Diploma is equivalent to the previous Diploma (10847NAT). All students who enrolled before February 2025 will automatically transition to the new 11274NAT qualification, ensuring you graduate with the most up-to-date certification.

Can I study the Diploma of Specialised Bowen Therapy 11274NAT first?
