The Foundation Programme Assessment Process is open to HCPC registered Chartered Physiotherapists who have attended the 2 day taught element. See our Courses & Events page for course details.
We have 2 intakes a year for the the accreditation assessment .Applications must be in by 30th September or 31st March and the process will take place during the 6 months following.
To attain ATACP accreditation in aquatic physiotherapy candidates would be expected to:
Produce a case study (30% of total marks)Undertake an unseen written examination (20% of Total Marks)Undertake a practical assessment of skills (50% of total marks)
All sections must be passed to obtain an overall pass
Mentoring
On receipt of payment candidates will be allocated a mentor who will contact them to begin the process. Candidates are entitled to 2 hours of mentor time. This could be through visits, viewing video footage of treatment programmes, or commenting on draft case studies. We strongly advise the mentor time should include time in the water to ensure techniques are being used correctly. The mentor will not be one of your assessors.
This guidance enables you to provide a safe and effective aquatic physiotherapy service for patients and those working in the aquatic physiotherapy environment
