NHAA Course Accreditation System (NHAA CAS)

WHM Curriculum Mapping Document (CAS_Mapping)

Version 2.2 Last Modified:18 January 2016

Preamble

As the oldest complementary/alternative medicine association in Australia, the National Herbalists Association of Australia has been setting standards in the education and practice of herbal medicine since 1920. In this time much has changed, and we will always be at the forefront of that change, supporting and promoting herbal medicine and our members.

The NHAA Course Accreditation System (NHAA CAS) aims to assist training providers by providing a standard for curriculum design. By utilising these Guidelines & Curriculum, and the associated documents, your institution can apply to have one or more of its courses recognised by the NHAA. Successful recognition results in that course being given “NHAA Accredited” status, with the attendant benefits for your institution as well as your students and future graduates.

We look forward to building a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with your institution, and welcome your feedback and input.

Section 1: Using the Curriculum Mapping Document

Completing the Curriculum Mapping Document

This document must be completed in its entirety, and a copy included with your institution’s application for Course Accreditation. It is important to remember that a separate application must be made for each course, and therefore separate Curriculum Mapping documents must be completed. The aim of this document is to accurately determine the relationships between your institution’s course and the NHAA Curriculum.

Note that this document is an electronic form. This allows you to enter the required information in the grey fields and then include the completed document in your application package in either electronic or printed form.

As an electronic form it only allows you to enter information in the specified (grey coloured) fields. You cannot modify other areas of the document. The types of fields used in the document are mostly text fields, but there are also some checkboxes and drop-down lists for which you need to choose options. When entering information in a text field, do not worry about the size of the text field being too small – it will automatically adjust size as needed. When selecting a check box, just click on it with your mouse button. To move between fields sequentially, press the TAB key.

Below is a description of the items found in the Subject Mapping pages.

Equivalent Module(s) Mapping

This is where you list the units or modules delivered by your institution which relate to that specific NHAA Subject, and the hours from those modules. Please note that hours listed for each module(s) must be the portion of hours of that module which are directly related to that NHAA Curriculum Subject.Hours listed cannot be reused in meeting the requirements of another NHAA Curriculum Subject.

Subject Content Requirements Mapping

This where you directly relate the modules delivered in your course to the NHAA Subject Content Requirements (via the Content Code). As you can see in the example on the following page, your course may have various modules which deliver different Subject Content Requirements within the one NHAA Curriculum Subject.

Please note that only the portion of hours in your modules which are related to that NHAA Curriculum Subject should be listed in the section Equivalent Module(s). For instance, take a hypothetical case of your institution delivering a module entitled Chemistry & Biochemistry, with a total of 100 hours. This module would obviously relate to the NHAA Subjects CHE Chemistry and BCH Biochemistry. In listing the hours for this subject, you would be required to determine how many hours would relate to the NHAA Subject CHE Chemistry (50 hours), and how many would related to BCH Biochemistry (50 hours).

It is not permitted to use hours more than once. For example if the above hypothetical module contained only 80 hours, it is not permissible to state that 50 hours would be related to CHE Chemistry, and 50 hours related to BCH Biochemistry, as this would exceed the actual hours spent in delivery of this module.

Likewise, if you have multiple modules that deliver the content requirements of one NHAA Curriculum Subject, then these modules need to be listed in the table entitled “Equivalent Module(s)”, with a breakdown of how many hours (of each module’s total hours) directly relate to that particular NHAA Curriculum Subject.

The following is a hypothetical situation illustrating the use of the tables contained within the Curriculum Mapping document.
