The minimum requirement is a qualification at AQF Level 4, including a minimum of 100hrs training in anatomy and physiology. This is because we teach treatment of some complex pathologies and post-surgical oedema, and a baseline amount of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology is assumed. We also assume you have fundamental clinal practice skills, can communicate using standard medical terminology, and have an underpinning knowledge of body systems and diseases. If you are keen to learn the Dr Vodder Method then we encourage you to upgrade your undergraduate credentials and obtain at least a Cert IV in your chosen Certificate Stream.

The Dr Vodder Certificate in MLD & CDT (Levels 1 & 3) meet the post graduate requirements for the ALA Accredited Lymphoedema Practitioner Program (ALPP). You need to complete Level 3 to be qualified in Lymphoedema Management. Please note the ALA also have other undergraduate, insurance and ongoing education requirements and not all therapists eligible for entry to Dr Vodder Courses will be eligible for the ALA ALPP. Please see www.lymphoedema.org.au for more information.

You can take the Level 1 Course as a starter and then progress to any of the remaining levels as you feel ready, as long as the next Level is within 12-months. Ater that you will need to repeat the Level 1 Practical again. A pass in the online Theory is good for any Level 1 Practical for up to 2-years. Level 1 does not yet qualify you as a Dr Vodder Therapist as it teaches all the fundamental techniques of MLD for the nine body regions but does not include protocols for treatment of any pathology. The subset of pathologies covered in each complete Certificate is taught in the next Level, ie Level 2, Level 3 or Adv Aesthetician.
