How the Course Works

The Anatomy and Physiology Online Course will allow you to study at your own pace in your own home. You can start it in your own time and complete what you can when you have the time. You will have a year to finish the course and even if you don’t finish it in that time, arrangements can be made.

There are 13 lessons you need to complete. Each lesson involves reading from the course manual, labelling a diagram and answering some mock questions. Once you have completed the final lesson, you can take the online mock exam.

Beth Cook, a leading Health and Well-Being Expert and Therapist wrote the course with the student in mind. It is packed with information, videos and tasks to ensure you are learning every step of the way. It is essential that you complete lesson 1 (including the test) before you move onto lesson 2 and so on. Beth will be checking your online progress throughout the course.
