Foundation Level Exams

Case Study and Multiple Choice Guidance

On the day of your practical exam, you will have access to the examination platform to complete parts 2 and 3 of the exam.

You will have one month to submit the two case studies and complete the multiple-choice exam.

If you do not pass the multiple-choice exam on your first attempt, you will have a second opportunity to retake it within one week of the initial attempt.

Guidance Notes for Case Studies

As part of the Foundation Exam you will need to submit 2 case studies of patients you have tested to demonstrate your A.R.T.® Assessment skills. Please choose 2 different new clients.

The Case study template consists of 5 parts and is submitted online.

Part 1 – Client information
Part 2 – Analysis of your A.R.T.® Assessment + Completed Assessment form in PDF
Part 3 – Recommendations given to the client + The Client’s Programme in PDF

Part 1 should include the patient’s age and gender; their health goals; symptoms; any medical information such as diagnoses, test results, prescribed medications; and any general comments about their story that you feel is relevant to your assessment.

Part 2 is an opportunity for you to explain your consultation process, what the testing showed, your thought processes as you went through the assessment and your interpretation of what you found. This provides a space to demonstrate your knowledge

Part 3 is a summary of the instructions you then gave to your client, what you wanted them to do and how to implement the protocol you developed for them.

Overall, we are looking to see that you understand the process, are able to conduct a safe and eNective A.R.T.® assessment from start to finish, and have good knowledge of the protocols, remedies and techniques.

The Completed Assessment Form
A template form is available for you to download to record your findings as you go through the assessment. This will help guide you through the process and support the Case Study Template. A sample completed form is available to show you how to document findings as you test.

The Client’s Programme
Please submit the written programme that you would give to your client following their A.R.T.® session with you. This can be in whatever format you would normally use in your own practice and doesn’t need to follow any specific structure. Please anonymise or just use initials for the client’s name. Ensure that you use the A.R.T.® processes that are permitted within your own scope of practice, so for example, don’t recommend medical drugs if you are not licensed to do so.
