This course is designed to enhance the learning undertaken by Kansai Chiropractic School (KCS) graduates and has been designed as a comprehensive program of learning modules to be undertaken externally, by residential block teaching and with visits to practical laboratories to address the needs of chiropractic professionals in Japan.

Admission Requirements: Offshore course offerings:
All students must have completed three years of professional training at Kansai Chiropractic School and had six months of clinical experience, with at least 20 hours per week practice.

Special Requirements:
Students are required to complete the First Aid and Emergency Care course (pass/fail) prior to graduation.

Professional Recognition:
There are no accreditation requirements in Japan for Chiropractic. Despite this the Japanese educational partners have voluntarily agreed to seek Australasian Council on Chiropractic Education (ACCE) accreditation, in order to make it clear that they wish to operate under 'best practice' conditions. The same accrediting body operates in Australia and, although undergoing some changes at present, will accredit our onshore course.
