Foundation Certificate in Body Science
The perfect starting point for CranioSacral Therapy.
Presented by the College of Body Science
Are you preparing to train in CranioSacral Therapy (CST) but don’t yet have a qualification in biomedical science? No problem! If you’re new to the field or haven’t studied anatomy, physiology and pathology before, the Foundation Certificate in Body Science gives you the support you need every step of the way.
Whether you’re returning to study after years away or are exploring healthcare without a formal science degree, this course will help you develop your knowledge and understanding of the human body—and give you the confidence to step into CST with clarity and skill.
A Solid Scientific Foundation for Your CST Journey
NEXT START DATE FOR LIVE CHECK-INs IS MARCH 3rd!
What’s Included in the Foundation Certificate in Body Scienc
- 10 weeks of online lessons on anatomy, physiology and pathology
- Weekly live check-ins (Mondays, 10–11am), recorded for later viewing
- 3 weeks of dedicated pathology training
- Engaging activities and quizzes to enhance your practical skills
- Final AP&P exam and participatory coursework review
You’ll work through 50–60 hours of video content, use interactive learning tools, and get structured support—helping you fully absorb what you need to know, especially if you’re preparing for CST and don’t yet have a formal qualification in biomedical science.
Created by the College of Body Science, this in-depth certificate course combines cell biology, molecular biology, biology and chemistry and systems-level understanding of the human body.
he Upledger Institute and the Cranio Sacral Society endorse this course, and we’ve carefully structured it to ensure your successful completion and long-term success in CST training.
Even if you don’t meet the typical entry requirements for CST, this certificate provides a comprehensive alternative and opens the door to future degree courses or advanced complementary therapy qualifications.
