Access and Equity

The Institute is aware of the kinds of obstacles faced by those wishing to study. It is committed to making the training accessible to people from all walks of life. This attitude is manifested in some of the following ways:

  • The premises has been made wheelchair accessible
  • There are partial scholarships available to assist students who may not otherwise be able to commence training for financial reasons.
  • A willingness to be flexible in negotiating fee payments.
  • An equal opportunity policy which supports diversity .

Fee-help

The government is now offering loans simliar to HECS to students of accredited Higher Education Providers. The institute has been approved to this status, and thus students can apply to have all their fees covered under this programme.

Students can elect to have all fees covered by Fee-Help. This covers training fees, includes personal therapy hours, residentials and library membership.

The only additional costs in a year are text books (approx $80).

The Challenge

The course is not just about running up a certain number of hours, collecting a bag of skills, or being able to repeat the theory. The criteria for successful continuation and eventual completion is weighed primarily in terms of personal development and attitude, rather than solely through measures of objective knowledge.

What is looked for in the student is an eagerness to learn, to explore themselves, to stay with what is happening, to hang in with the difficult processes and flow with the joyful ones; in all, a commitment to one's own growth and a willingness to dialogue. The course is an invitation to plunge into ever more authentic living; this requires a certain type of courage.
