Summary

The Intermediate DiplomaRequirement is for you to be able todiscover the basic (constitutional) element and imbalance (condition) through the four forms of diagnosis of which asking is one, together with any relevant information about your Participant's medical history and possible contra-indications, and to use this information

to gain a broader understanding of the person

to indicate how you can help beyond the actual treatment, with suggestions and recommendations..

For the Professional Licence you need to be able to present this information in writing as part of a case-study, which follows a receiver through a series of treatments, enabling you to demonstrate how the information you gathered in diagnosis helps you formulate a treatment plan based on your client's elemental imbalances: simply, how you apply theory to practice.
