A professional, grounded pathway into kinesiology practice
This Diploma is taught by me, Rosemary Tarrant, with over 20 years of clinical practice and extensive experience training kinesiology students in a supportive, real-world setting.
I love guiding students not only through the Diploma itself, but also as they grow in confidence and begin to shape their own professional kinesiology practice.
The world needs more kinesiologists — perhaps you feel that calling too.
Who This Diploma Is For?
This Diploma is designed for those who feel drawn to practise kinesiology professionally and are ready to deepen their skills, understanding and clinical confidence.
It is suitable for students who have completed the Kinesiology Foundation (Modules 1–6) and wish to continue their training in a structured, supportive and professionally accredited environment.
Prerequisite
Please note: entry to the Diploma requires successful completion of the Kinesiology Foundation course (Modules 1–6), including all homework and assessments.
Course Structure & Commitment
The Kinesiology Diploma consists of:
170 hours of face-to-face training (24 full days)
12 modules, taught over two-day teaching blocks
Light home study of approximately 1–2 hours per week
Plus 50 case study sessions and written coursework to support integration and professional readiness
This balance allows learning to unfold steadily while supporting real-world application.
Prepare to expand your knowledge in a sensational way.
Location
The Diploma is taught in Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders, approximately halfway between Edinburgh and Newcastle.
This peaceful semi-rural setting offers a retreat experience alongside professional training. There are a range of nearby Airbnbs, small hotels and B&Bs, and many students choose to extend their stay to enjoy the surrounding countryside, walking routes and welcoming local atmosphere.
