How do I pay for an Advanced Training Program or any product?

If paying for an Advanced Training Program, a completed registration form needs to be emailed or faxed to Place of CHI and then we will be in contact with you to confirm payment.  This can be made by Visa, Mastercard or by E.F.T. (Electronic Funds Transfer). If requiring product, please call or email us with your order so we can arrange payment and shipment to you.

How long will it take me to complete the pre-requisites prior to my course?

Everybody is an individual and studies, learns and contains information at very different levels.   It is impossible for us to say how long it will take you to complete a pre-requisite., as every one is different, and it depends on how much time you have to devote to your study per week, per day.  Please allow enough time to complete your pre-requisites, complete the exams and have them returned back from the CHEK institute at least 30 days prior to your scheduled course.   Failure to do so, will result in you not being able to attend your scheduled course.

How do I book in for a Course / Advanced Training Program?

You need to complete a registration form, downloadable from the website, (under your selected Advanced Training Program) and fax or email to us.   We will then correspond with you for payment. Please note that you will not be considered registered until we receive your full registration form and either a deposit or full payment is made to your course. ** ALL pre-requisites must be completed and submitted to the CHEK Institute educate@chekinstitute.com and returned back to you 30days prior to the commencement of the course.  Failure to do so, may result in either a late marking fee and/or transferring you to another scheduled course.

Do you have an online shop where I can order products?

Our Online Shop is currently under maintenance. We envision to have this up and running very soon.    In the meantime, you may email or call us to place your order.

What books should I read before my course?

Start with all of Pauls books.  Depending on the course you are about to undertake, there are a few key books that cross over all of the courses such as:  Nourishing Traditions by Sallon Fallon; Physical & Nutritional Degeneration by Weston A. Price; Muscles, Testing and Function by Florence Kendall; Orthopedic Physical Assessment by David McGee; Wisdom of the Body Moving by Linda Hartley to name a few.  These will give you a good grounding for CHEK Practitioner Level 1, CHEK Practitioner Level 2 and there is also a reading list provided in your welcome packs.  The reading list is in order of priority from first to last.  The list has been arranged by Donal's recommendations for which books to read first.

What do I need to bring to my course?

As stated in your Welcome pack (you will receive this once you have registered fully for the course) you will be informed of what to bring to your upcoming course.   The usual stationery, pens, coloured highlighters (yellow, green, red - Pauls PPS learning) notepad, snacks/food (unless signed up for catering package if available), water, workout gear and an open mind.
