Tronc Commun KT: Training, further training, courses

A Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy course provides professionally relevant knowledge and skills in conventional medicine and social science. It is therefore an important foundation stone for a degree in complementary therapy and for the profession of complementary therapist. Last but not least, it also lays the foundation for building a successful practice. "Tronc Commun" translates as "common trunk" and forms the cornerstone, so to speak, of all complementary therapy methods and fields of activity, such as Ayurveda, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional European Naturopathy.

The Tronc Commun KT teaches content such as medical principles, therapeutic conversation, ethics, law and economics. After successful completion of the course, as well as additional modules in the subject-specific method and an internship, the federally recognized Higher Professional Examination in Complementary Therapy (KT HFP) can also be completed. A course on the subject of Tronc Commun KT thus makes up a third of the proof of competence for the industry diploma. This is followed by further practical experience and supervision in order to complete the HFP in KT.

Each graduate can decide for themselves whether they wish to obtain the federal diploma. EMR registration (health insurance recognition), the industry certificate and membership of the respective professional association is also possible without a higher professional examination.

The training in Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy is made up of five different modules. These cover the following topics:

  • Understanding health, ethics and the concept of man
  • Managing a practice (business aspects, finance, administration, law) and professional identity
  • Therapeutic conversation, basic psychological knowledge, communication
    Resuscitation, emergency aid
  • Medical basics according to EMR and ASCA guidelines (biology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, clinical pictures) and safety of clients and therapists

Questions and answers

The Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy course is divided into five modules, which in turn focus on the following topics:

  • Understanding health aspects, ethics and the concept of man: In this module, participants gain a specific understanding of complementary health theory, as well as an idea of the different concepts of man. In addition, ethical issues such as healthcare or the principles and obligations in the profession, such as confidentiality or data protection, are addressed.
  • Professional identification, management of a practice: economic aspects such as budgeting, administration, patient documentation, accounting, pension provision, insurance, law and legislation or marketing are addressed here.
  • Knowledge of communication, psychology and conducting conversations: The module deals with basic psychological and communicative aspects that are also used in therapeutic conversation. For example, the different types of conversations (children, adolescents, parents) and the importance of the cultural factor are discussed. These are central parameters for the relationship between therapists and patients. In addition, the handling of information, data, copyrights and the correct way of citing are trained.
  • Knowledge of emergency situations and resuscitation: Among other things, participants are introduced to the five features of the so-called rescue chain. This consists of rescue, raising the alarm, taking immediate life-saving measures and additional help, ensuring transportability and the emergency ward. Participants also learn about breathing and the cardiovascular system, as well as how to proceed in the event of a cardiac arrest and how to use an AED device.
  • Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biology, as well as teaching about diseases, pharmacology and client and therapist safety: This comprehensive module covers cell organization, nutrition and metabolism, the sensory organs, the endocrine system, the nervous system, as well as the effects and side effects of medication.

These modules can be supplemented by homework, practical exercises (from theory to practice), group meetings, written assignments or a personal and individual learning diary.

The Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy forms part of the three-part training for the KT sector certificate. In five modules, basic knowledge of complementary medical work is taught, such as an understanding of health, practice management, communication and psychology, emergency aid and resuscitation, etc. In order to obtain the degree, however, the methods module and the internship as well as a final examination must be completed. After this, a federal diploma (KT AFPE) can also be obtained.

In contrast to the "Tronc Commun KT", which teaches cross-method knowledge, there are various specific techniques of complementary therapy, some of which are also recognized by the OdA KT, the organization of the working world of complementary therapy. For example: acupressure, breathing therapy, Ayurveda, craniosacral therapy, kinesiology, yoga and shiatsu.

A complementary therapist promotes a holistic and sustainable recovery process by practicing complementary therapy methods. They work on and with the body (touch, movement) as well as with breath and energy work and accompany clients with guidance and discussion. As part of their professional development, complementary therapists can specialize in specific target groups (e.g. infants, children, pregnant women, high-risk occupational groups, senior citizens) or symptoms (e.g. the consequences of stress or accidents).

Tronc Commun Complementary Therapy is often abbreviated to "Tronc Commun KT" or "TC KT".

If only the "Tronc Commun" part is considered, this is understood to be a "common trunk". This trunk forms the basic training for all therapists in complementary therapy by imparting fundamental skills for complementary therapy work. These are the same for all techniques and methods practiced.

Although the term Tronc Commun KT contains the word "therapy", it is more a component of the complementary therapist course than a concrete, independently applied therapy program in practice. Here, fundamental skills in the fields of medicine, the profession and social sciences are taught across all methods. These are then used specifically in the respective specialist areas.

For example, basic medical knowledge provides an understanding of the causes and risks of diseases, which are taken into account in complementary medical measures.

Complementary therapeutic measures pursue, among other things, the goal of a holistic analysis and treatment of complaints of all kinds. These take place on the basis of various influencing (internal and external) factors and in harmony with the body, mind, soul and environment/life situation. Recovery is seen as a process. Through the combination of body-centered methods (touch, movement, breathing, energy), conversations and instructions, one's own perception is strengthened and self-regulation is activated. New ways of looking at complaints and illnesses can be shown, which leads to a better and healthier perception, as well as dealing with pain, complaints and stress, which in turn can be healing. Patients learn how to use their physical, mental and emotional strengths and individual resources appropriately and responsibly. This strengthens their self-competence.

A complementary therapy session is therefore not always the same, but is shaped and adapted to individual, personal needs. In principle, however, the following treatment steps can be part of complementary therapy: Encounter, Processing, Integration and Transformation. These phases can overlap and are by no means to be regarded as isolated entities.

With a Tronc Commun training you can achieve the following:

  • Holistically promote the recovery of people with complaints, impaired health and performance, illnesses and people undergoing rehabilitation
  • Work independently and for the most part in your own practice (sometimes also employed in health, education and social services institutions)
  • See recovery as a process that depends on individual factors and encompasses the interaction of body, soul and spirit
  • Complementary therapy is method-, body- and process-centered as well as interactive
  • Strengthening self-regulation, promoting self-awareness and strengthening recovery skills

Anyone who completes course units as part of the accredited "OdA KT Tronc commun" training program takes the examinations specified in the regulations. Those who pass these can obtain an industry certificate for the approved methods. The OdA KT sector certificate then allows access to the higher professional examination for complementary therapists. This allows you to obtain a federal diploma in complementary therapy.

The best-known complementary therapy methods are

  • Acupressure therapy
  • Respiratory therapy
  • Ayurveda therapy
  • Movement and body therapy
  • Craniosacral therapy
  • Fascia therapy
  • Kinesiology
  • Reflex zone therapy

  • For people with somatic or psychosomatic problems
  • For people with mental illnesses or mood disorders
  • For complaints that cannot be categorized in the classic range of conventional medicine
  • For illnesses and disabilities of any kind
  • For rehabilitation after accidents or operations
  • As a preventive measure against disorders of self-regulation by strengthening self-awareness and self-healing or recovery skills
  • For people with a need for change
  • As support for a disturbed sense of well-being
