ACCREDITATION
WHAT IS ACCREDITATION?
The Galen Myotherapy Diploma is accredited by LASER Learning Awards and has also been awarded a Premier Quality Mark. Here we explain what this means to you as a student so you can decide whether accreditation is the right choice for you.

FAQS
WHAT DOES IQA MEAN FOR ME?
Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Galen’s own internal process for ensuring standardised quality of delivery of both the course and the learner. (This is for both accredited and non-accredited learners)

WHAT DOES EQA MEAN FOR ME?
External Quality Assurance (EQA) once the learners work has been successfully processed and achieved by Galen’s IQA team, it is then passed on for the LASER learning Awards professional quality team to moderate the quality of work of each student, along with course delivery and content. (This is only for accredited learners)
DO I GET A CERTIFICATE IF I CHOOSE NOT TO BE ACCREDITED?
Yes, you will receive the Galen Myotherapy certificate and also a certificate from LASER stating you have attended a Premier Quality award course.
IS THE ACCREDITED VERSION OF THE COURSE ACCEPTED ALL OVER THE WORLD?
LASER states that their accreditation is accepted Internationally, but we do recommend that you check with your own authorities as to its appropriateness for your individual situation.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IN THE UK IF I DO NOT HAVE THE ACCREDITATION?
Again, this comes back to your own personal and professional situation. We would always recommend accreditation as our Galen Myotherapy Diploma is synonymous with external accreditation. However, you may have qualifications and/or accreditations that are of a higher level or more specific to your professional requirements, therefore, it is a personal and professional decision.
IS THE QUALITY/STANDARD OF THE TEACHING DIFFERENT FOR BOTH ACCREDITED AND NON-ACCREDITED?
Both the quality and standards are completely identical, along with support and levels of achievement.
IS THE MARKING/PASS MARK DIFFERENT FOR EITHER?
For either the full accreditation or the Premier Award, the assessing (marking) of the work and the achievement levels are identical.
IS THE COURSE CONTENT THE SAME?
Yes, the accredited and non-accredited course content is exactly the same.
ARE THE FINAL ASSESSMENTS THE SAME?
Yes, the assessments for both the accredited and non-accredited courses are identical.
IF I CHOOSE NOT TO BE ACCREDITED, DO I STILL NEED TO TAKE ALL THE ASSESSMENTS OF THE FULL ACCREDITED COURSE?
Yes, if you wish to practice as a Galen Myotherapist.
