School of Homeopathy

Assessment
There are no formal examinations, assessment is continuous, initially through regular assignment projects. You will be assisted by supportive and thought-provoking comments from your mentor and later by your clinical supervisor. Your abilities in case analysis and management during clinics are noted. Tutors play a key role in listening to you and providing a meta-view of your progress. Any perceived weaknesses in your understanding will be discussed with you, while you will be aware of any missing assignments yourself. We may re-contract with you, for instance, in agreeing to extend the time frame of your studies or your case supervision. We find our students benefit most when encouraged to self-assess and self-reflect so we do not use a marking grade or percentage system.

Annual reviews are carried out by our academic board. In the event of it ever being required we do have a structured complaints procedure, but experience suggests a dynamic strength is derived from listening and learning about all issues as they arise.

Home study students progress through the study units on completion of each set of assignments. Attendance students must come to at least 80% of the weekends plus clinics. We give you latitude in handing in late assessment projects and in completing your supervised case portfolio.

"When I started out with my diploma in hand, I was unsure that I could put what I had learnt into practice. I so much wanted to be the best practitioner! But I soon found that what I had been taught at the School of Homeopathy held me steady and guided me. I realised that the education and the spirit which informed it was special. I had received a vision of what healing could achieve at the highest level and I was and am passing this on, helping people live at their full potential. This healing is more than just treating symptoms, it is inspirational and it has become an everyday part of my life."
Bill, 1987

Certification
The School awards Certificates and Diplomas on the completion of each of the courses:

First Aid Course Credit
(when you complete assignments)

The Taster Credit
(when you complete assignments and do not wish to extend your study)

The Foundation Diploma
(for the one year exploratory course)

The Introduction into Practice Diploma
(for the two year course)

The Advanced Diploma
(for the 3-4 year academic work)

The Clinical Certificate
(for contact work during the 3-4 year home study course)

The Practitioner Advanced Diploma
(for the full 4 year programme)

If you are a home study student you determine the actual time that you need to take for each stage of the courses. If you are an attendance student, then you can easily opt to take a break at the end of Year Two – giving you time to catch up on life or on course-work. Years three and four flow together with your own practice getting underway under supervision.

Our UK Programme is fully recognised by the Homeopathic Medical Association and The Society of Homeopaths, the British representative on the European and International Councils for Classical Homeopathy.

Registration
The Register is a published list of homeopaths all working within an established code of ethics. Since the School is a recognised leader in homeopathic education, our diploma, given on completion of our Practitioner Course, leads to immediate registration in the UK. Potential patients seeking a homeopathic practitioner trained to a high standard, can access this Register to find someone in their area.

Please note that completion of our International programme does not confer a license to practice. Whilst we have a very high reputation, as does the Society of Homeopaths, it is wise to review the official licensing policies of your own country, state or province before setting up in practice.
