Building Biology | Certificate
 


The Certificate in Building Biology is a one year full time or two year part time course that provides a detailed insight into the health hazards that exist in and around the built environment. Students will learn to identify potential health hazards including indoor air and water contaminants, geopathic stress and high magnetic fields. Students will be able to conduct electromagnetic field and geomancy audits in order to identify and alleviate these hazards in and around the building. Building material selection and design will enable students to work alongside builders and architects to construct dwellings that are not only energy efficient, but support the health and wellbeing of the occupants who live within them. Graduates from this course are eligible to join the Australian Society of Building Biologists. As a Recognised Training Organisation, full time students maybe eligible to receive Austudy (apply through Centrelink). The course is primarily available via correspondence. Comprehensive manuals and DVDs of the lectures are supplied with each subject. Ongoing support during your studies is available via the free online Yahoo group. In order to qualify for the Certificate in Building Biology, correspondence students must attend a 6 day practical in Melbourne (January 2011) to complete the Geobiology and Electrobiology subjects. Successful completion of the Certificate will enable you to obtain credits for many of the subjects in the government accredited Diploma of Building Biology (30588QLD).
