Diploma Courses
 
Is this course suitable for beginners or advanced students?
Modules are presented with methods that accommodate and support all levels from beginners to intermediate and advanced. A varied structure of topics, theory and activities allow beginners to adjust at a gradual and comfortable pace whilst providing advanced students with innovative, stimulating activities, thought provoking discussion and the support and guidance to fine tune areas of previous study whilst gaining new skills.
 
What type of homework do we receive?
 
Homework activities are designed to assist the student in developing the necessary skills of a healer. Some activities will require you to practise your new skills on friends and family; however there are also activities in which you will engage in self analysis, self healing and lifestyle improvements. Therefore whilst you are learning, you are also creating a happier, healthier life for yourself and your loved ones.

What is the purpose of the monthly tutorials?
Monthly tutorials are for students that prefer to have person to person contact with a teacher rather (or in addition to) phone or email tutorial assistance.
I'm not sure if I need the tutorials.
 
If you are unsure as to whether you will need the monthly tutorials, it is advisable to enrol in the full correspondence option. Then, if you find that you do need the tutorials, you can transfer to Part correspondence by paying the additional fees.
 
Can I transfer from Part correspondence to full correspondence?
Yes, upon enrolment of your next module. (Not applicable for students that pay for the entire course upfront).
   
Are there exams?
Students will complete an open book exam (in their own home) at the end of each module plus a minimum of 20* weeks of clinical practise comprising of two case studies.

Clinical practise is conducted in your own home or at a wellbeing centre in your local area.

* This may be reduced to 12 weeks completing both case studies simultaneously.
