Distance Learning Program

Home Study Overview

If you wish to study homeopathy to a professional level but live some distance from reputable homeopathic schools, or are unable to attend class due to family or work commitments, the Professional Distance-Learning Program was developed to meet your needs. The course is similar in content to our accredited lecture program offered at the University of Toronto.

You can begin the program at any time and there is no deadline for completion. You can achieve a superior education in homeopathy, studying in your spare time and progressing at your own pace.

STRUCTURE

The course consists of three levels (Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Level) corresponding to approximately 700 hours of study for each level. It is anticipated that each level will take approximately one year to complete if you establish a regular study schedule. Each course level is organized into several lessons with associated assignments. This continuous assessment of your work ensures a high degree of proficiency, as weaknesses in understanding are communicated to you quickly with helpful assistance and advice provided by your personal course tutor. Examples of assignment answers and case analyses from students serve to further inspire and reveal the desired standard of work expected.

A minimum grade average of 70 per cent must be achieved at each course level to be eligible to proceed to the next level.

Lessons consist of: comprehensive study notes; diagrams and charts; cross-references to homeopathic text books; self-assessment questions; assignments.

ADVANCED STANDING

Some students wishing to join the course have already completed significant homeopathic training elsewhere. Upon successful completion of a special assignment to determine the extent of your homeopathic knowledge, a recommendation for a suitable starting point will be made which will coincide with one of the three course levels.

Enrollment

ELIGIBILITY

If you're considering becoming a homeopathic practitioner, certain qualities are necessary to fulfil this ambition. You must have commitment and dedication to study, an open and receptive mind; a willingness to discuss and explore other people's perspectives; an ability to interact with others; and a desire to assist others. Individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences can achieve this. If you feel you have these qualities you could become a professional homeopath.
