What is the difference between Tronc Commun KT and complementary therapy?
The Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy forms part of the three-part training for the KT sector certificate. In five modules, basic knowledge of complementary medical work is taught, such as an understanding of health, practice management, communication and psychology, emergency aid and resuscitation, etc. In order to obtain the degree, however, the methods module and the internship as well as a final examination must be completed. After this, a federal diploma (KT AFPE) can also be obtained.
In contrast to the "Tronc Commun KT", which teaches cross-method knowledge, there are various specific techniques of complementary therapy, some of which are also recognized by the OdA KT, the organization of the working world of complementary therapy. For example: acupressure, breathing therapy, Ayurveda, craniosacral therapy, kinesiology, yoga and shiatsu.
