Overall Objectives: CSES programs are adult-education courses
in holistic health based on Polarity Therapy as defined by the American
Polarity Therapy Association (APTA), and on Craniosacral Therapy as
defined by the Craniosacral therapy Association of North America (CSTA/NA).
The objective of a CSES program is twofold: occupational development
for health-field professionals, and personal growth.
School
Calendar:
Each program has its own calendar, spanning a series of Friday-Sunday
weekends or Monday-Thursday weekdays. See the current Calendar
of Scheduled Trainings for specific information on the course you
are taking. No events are held on major holidays.
Entrance
Requirements:
Minimum age for admission to a CSES training is 18, unless accompanied
by parent and with special permission. A high school diploma or equivalent
is required. Advanced trainings require satisfactory completion of entry-level
programs.
CSES does not discriminate
based on age, gender, race, religion, lifestyle, disability or ethnic
origin.
Program
Length & Time:
CSES programs vary in length. Core program lengths include:
| |
Level
I Polarity Therapy |
|
16
days |
| Craniosacral
Therapy |
50
days |
| Level
II Polarity Therapy |
50
days |
Programs are generally
7.5 hours per day beginning at 9 a.m., with a 90-minute lunch period.
Type
of Instruction:
CSES programs are conducted in-class with at least one CSES instructor
present. CSES does not offer correspondence, telecommuting or residential
programs.
Attendance
Policy:
Absence at more than 5% of the regularly scheduled events of a program
will cause withholding of Certificate of Completion, until such time
as the material missed has been satisfactorily completed. CSES will
work with students to accommodate schedule problems, including determining
make-up options. Students are not charged for make-up events for which
payment has already been made as part of the overall tuition. The burden
of arranging logistics and resources for making up a missed class is
on the student, not the school.
Progress
Policy:
Evaluation sessions and events are part of each program schedule. In
evaluations, instructors use a variety of methods, including interview
and demonstration, to determine student progress. CSES programs are
ungraded. Students making unsatisfactory progress are given options
to improve skills. These options include attendance at additional events,
tutorials outside of regular class hours, and practice supervision.
Conduct
Policy:
CSES reserves the right to dismiss a student for disruptive behavior
(including usage of drugs or alcohol) or lack of satisfactory progress.
CSES can make this dismissal based on subjective criteria, with power
of final decision vested in the program director. In the event of dismissal,
a full refund is given. A dismissed student may re-apply for any program,
but CSES is under no obligation to re-accept the student, or to provide
support for APTA or CSTA/NA certification.
Placement
Assistance:
Colorado School of Energy Studies offers no job placement assistance.
CSES does support application to the APTA and/or the CSTA/NA for certification,
at the time of satisfactory program completion.
