Our distinctive educational offerings are delivered by an experienced team of people who will support you through your learning journey. The course content and our pedagogy focus on developing the mix of applied skills and attributes that are increasingly recognised as essential to success in the contemporary economy. Our content is delivered flexibly in a blended format, which is a mixture of
face-to-face workshops and webinars. Please note that due
to Covid-19 we are currently only working through webinars,
until the health advice changes.

Meanwhile in our course development lab, we have a small
team working on some new courses in the Business and
Management area. We plan to take advantage of some of
the crucial soft skills taught in the EFT curriculum that
are increasingly a prerequisite for success in the global
economy.

So, please enjoy exploring our site and let us know
if we can help you further.

The Banksia team look forward to meeting
you soon!

Why study at Banksia?

Banksia is private higher education provider offering accredited postgraduate courses in Emotion Focused Therapy. We operate with high levels of academic integrity and excellence.

Our small class sizes allow for a personalised approach and a level of learning support not common in higher education. There is plenty of opportunity in our workshop/webinar learning environment for everyone to get involved in the discussion and to debate issues in a secure, respectful and safe way.

Our teaching staff have professional experience in the subjects they teach and are current in their knowledge of relevant trends.

We recognise that sometimes the student journey can be confusing and road is not always straight, that’s why we have support staff on hand to deal with any bumps in the road and to offer the best advice we can.
Many of the degree subjects can be taken as part of a CPD Program, allowing those interested to refresh or extend their knowledge. As well as being led by an experienced facilitator, participants often find enormous value in the networks which emerge from taking part in the CPD Program.

We, at Banksia, look forward to inspiring and supporting your learning and professional success.

Engagement

At Banksia a key objective is to provide an exceptional student experience; every student will feel that Banksia’s staff genuinely careabout their progress. BIA’s teaching and learning regime will focus on developing those skills and the outcomes required to be ‘work-ready’. All students will be challenged to learn through the expectations placed upon them and the learning materials they engage with. Support and scaffolding materials will be available online via the Learning Management System. Students will graduate with strategies for thinking about and resolving problems in their professional environment.

Staff-student communication systems are designed to be flexible and diverse so that students have multiple opportunities to engage with key staff.Students will have access to a range of support services;academic, social, and well-being to ensure they remain engaged in their studies.

Equitable
Access

Banksia supports and affirms its commitment in endeavouring to foster a learning environment in which all students and staff have equal opportunity to access and participate and succeed in their educational journey and one in which diversity is valued and respected. These principles of access and equity are integrated in Banksia’s policies and procedures for all in its community.
Banksia welcomes diversity and equity and regards educational as a fundamental right for all. Banksia complies with all relevant legislation in equity and diversity. Banksia does not discriminate against people of the basis of age, race, colour, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status or physical or intellectual disability, either in the recruitment of staff and students or the implementation of its policies, procedures and activities.
Banksia is committed in providing equal opportunity and promoting inclusive practices and processes for all staff and students within the limits of its resources.
What does all of this mean for you, quite simply it means we at Banksia welcome you.

Student
Success

At Banksia we want all of our students to succeed whether you are studying a degree course or taking a CPD subject. This starts from when you initially think about studying, as we work with you to ensure you have made the best choice to meet your needs, on to getting started on your first subject and all the way through your learning journey until graduation! Even then we hope you will stay in touch and perhaps help support the learners who come after you with professional practice insights.
On that journey we can provide you with the appropriate learning resources and services to support you and your study ambitions. We recognise that, for some, balancing life, work and study can be a challenge but with our flexible delivery approach and a flexible timetable we can work with you to find a solution when life gets uncertain. There is rarely a study related problem that can’t be solved, just contact our team to discuss what can be done.

Learning and Teaching

All blended teaching delivery will be student focused and inclusive. All students will be engaged with learning activities which are interesting, challenging and varied. This will be supported by a well-structured and readily accessible Learning Management System for all students.
Additional learning opportunities will be available periodically as webinars with visiting professionals from relevant areas of professional practice. At Banksia we greater the encourage the nurturing of the reflective practitioner.
Our aim is to develop our students to have excellent interpersonal and cross-cultural communication skills; to be strong communicators, orally, in writing, and in public; to be resilient, independent and well organised; to value teamwork, and understand how to contribute to teams; to be able to make informed decisions, choose from options, and deal with ambiguity and conflicting priorities; and finally to be well networked with industry to support your on-going success.
