The
Certificate in Building Biology is a comprehensive 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 available at the Melbourne campus or via correspondence.
Comprehensive manuals 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 9 day practical in Melbourne (January 2010) 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). NOTE: as from 2010, the Building Biology course will only be offered as a correspondence course with a 9 day intensive.
