1 Year Foundation Course 

A one year course for people who want to understand homeopathy properly, without yet committing to the full practitioner path. No exams, no essays, just real learning alongside a supportive group of fellow students.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Over the year, you'll look at health holistically, understand how disease shows up in people, and learn how homeopathic remedies work to counteract it. You'll develop case taking skills for both acute and chronic cases, learning the classical approach that underpins chronic case analysis and prescribing.

​

You'll build a solid base in homeopathic principles and philosophy, and begin working with the Materia Medica, the body of knowledge behind well known homeopathic remedies. Alongside this, you'll study the basics of medical science, so your understanding of the body's systems sits alongside your understanding of the remedies themselves.

SYLLABUS & QUALIFICATIONS

Once you have successfully completed the Foundation Course you will be awarded with the certificate of attendance upon completion from the Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE).

​

Please note: This Certificate does not qualify you as a Homeopathic practitioner.

​

Some students enjoy the course so much, and find such a deep connection with homeopathy, that they decide to take their studies further. If you find you are one of these students, there is an option to transfer to the practitioner programme during the foundation course.

​

Over the year, you’ll gain a vital foundation in homeopathic principles, philosophies and classical methodology. You will begin to study the medical sciences, case taking and practitioner development. Core to the syllabus is the Materia Medica, the collected body of knowledge on homeopathic remedies. You’ll also get to grips with the medical sciences.

​

The emphasis during this year is on inspirational learning and an enjoyable introduction to the course.

You will explore the history of homeopathy from Hahnemann to the present day, and study the philosophy behind it. You will also be introduced to the repertory (the homeopath’s index to the symptoms of diseases and their remedies) and learn how to take both an acute and chronic case.
