Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD at a glance – Full (Practising) Members of BAUK
(N.B. Associate members are non-practising Bowen practitioners; they are not listed on this website)
As a full member of the BAUK, the requirement is 16 hours CPD minimum per year. It is strongly recommended that the foundational work from the Practitioner level is revisited in some way at least every 3 years, through Module 8 or individual Modules 1-6, in the same way as we have to do for First Aid. Remember that you can do one day of a two-day course, if that is all you need for this year.
Please record the hours and summarised learning points in the CPD log below as evidence for your CPD requirement.
Member Admin
| MEMBER | CPD REQUIREMENT | BASIS FOR REQUIREMENT |
| Year 1 | Free | No CPD required if just completed Mod 7 assessment. |
| Year 2-3 | 100% Bowtech. Mod 8 is strongly recommended within these 2 years | Build and strengthen proficiency in technique, with consistency of training. |
| Year 4-5 | 100% Bowtech or 50% Bowtech/50% BAUK approved Non-Bowtech course, which may include 25% Peer group practise of specific Bowen moves, client/case study discussions, business practise. | Deepen understanding & application of technique, widen knowledge, experience new trainers. Share & learn from colleagues. |
| Year 6 onwards | 75% Hands-on Bowen from any BAUK approved Bowen provider (see list), with a minimum 16 hours Bowtech every 5 years. 25% Non hands-on (see below)
You can, of course, do 100% Bowtech throughout. 25% Non hands-on Bowen includes:
|
Deepen/widen knowledge, recognise informal/reflective learning, as well as written contributions. |
NOTE: In order to meet in-year CPD requirements any member booked on a Bowtech course which subsequently gets cancelled can substitute a BAUK approved non-Bowtech course, irrespective of length of membership, if there are no other appropriate Bowtech courses shortly available in a sensibly accessible location.
For a new BAUK member, who didnʼt train with a Bowtech trainer – they join as an Associate, (complete A&P if required) and complete a Module 8/Revision course to then become a Full Member with website listing.
Not sure which courses to select?

APPROVED NON-BOWTECH CPD COURSE REGISTER
Our currently approved non-Bowtech courses are listed below in alphabetical order and are not in any order of preference. All have been individually evaluated, in person, by the Bowen Association UK, to ensure quality and relevance. Please note, that because we consistently monitor performance, courses may also be removed as well as added to the list, making it fluid and subject to change. It’s always worth members checking with the Bowen Association Office (office@bowen-technique.co.uk) to see what’s in and what’s out! And we always welcome feedback from attendees in order to assist our ongoing monitoring systems.
