This is for people who have a health or biomedical qualification.
People with an approved clinical qualification who successfully complete either the 5 days over 5-6 weeks - or the 7 days over 8-9 days - versions of this Diploma may call themselves Registered Clinical Size and Weight Practitioners.

This clinical diploma, for people with a previous clinical qualification (or who are currently in training) is all you need to work with E-SaW’s central programme “The Guaranteed Permanent” either in club groups or with E-SaW Private clients at their homes or work. You can work as a consultant, a facilitator, or as a mentor.
It is also an excellent training for those who would like to work independently within their own clinic, gym, studio or practice and the National Colleges will help you to adopt the programme to successfully suit your needs.

A reflective exercise is undertaken after the student has partaken and assisted on E-SaW’s Guaranteed Permanent programme. This exercise includes consideration of ways in which the student’s existing clinical skills can be usefully integrated into working on size and weight programmes. Supervision and training whilst you do this is included in the price of the diploma.
To become a Registered Clinical Size & Weight Practitioner, you also need to undertake an interview about the course. The assessment of this is included in the price of the diploma.
The 5 day course can be taken over 5-6 weeks (some course presentations are five, some six or seven due to holidays and other National Colleges presenting relevant courses) at a cost of £987.50. This course requires study at home between teaching days.
The Registered Size & Weight Practitioner course can also be taken as an intensive 7-8 day course – so with two additional days for revision and reflection on the course contents – for £150 per day (including lunch) with a maximum payable of £987.50. This normally takes place over 8-9 days, rather than the usual 5-6 weeks, but costs no more – and costs less if you have previous relevant experience .
The exact number of days you need to study is dependent upon your previous experience. You will know this before you sign up.
Students may begin facilitating and mentoring before they do, but they are required to take part in a tutored 8 week mindfulness course if they haven’t taken or taught an approved 8 week mindfulness course within the past 10 months. The cost of this is £235 including tutoring. This includes access to a recorded 8 session mindfulness course so that students can check through the course at any time convenient to them.
The next course start date is 14th July, this is a 7 day course.
