4 Year Practitioner Licentiate Course 

A four year part time Practitioner course for people who feel called to this work.

Study classical homeopathy, human anatomy and gain real clinical experience. Graduate ready to build your own practice.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Study part time, over four years, entirely online. You will go through the same training as our in person students, just from home.

​

You will study homeopathic philosophy and start to understand health and disease the way a homeopath does. You'll also study human anatomy and physiology, so your understanding of the body underpins everything you prescribe.

​

From year two, you'll start working with real patients at our student clinic. By year three you're building your own practice, under supervision. By year four, you'll have your own patients and everything you need to begin working as a qualified homeopath.

​

You won't be doing this alone. You'll have fellow students going through the same thing, and staff who know you, not just your student number.

SYLLABUS & QUALIFICATIONS
