Course Information

What do you consider to be the main strengths of your course?

Quality and efficient training
The course is independently accredited for academic and clinical quality by the principal UK homoeopathy professional body and equally acceptable to the others. That means you graduate from our course and are automatically accepted as ready to practise as a trained professional homoeopath; you only need your insurance to start. You will have an automatic right to register with the ARH or the SoH, the two main professional bodies in the UK.
Firm foundations and flexible professional development
Our job is to produce confident, competent homoeopaths, capable of self-evaluation and critical understanding of their profession. With this in mind, the College offers both real clarity on the underpinning foundations of homoeopathy and a genuine diversity of applied analysis tools, approaches and perspectives – so you can become the homoeopath you were meant to be!
Rooted in clinical learning
See different professional homoeopaths in action, and develop your case taking, analysis, prescribing and management skills with their guidance.
Practical, reflective practice
Our intent is to heal, and our first instrument is unprejudiced observation. We build and sustain our intention and skills through practical reflection.
The centre of a community
Test out for yourself our claim to be the friendliest College and most supportive community when you come to an Open Day. We take our role as the only College rooted in the North with 40 years experience and independent accreditation very seriously. We also attract students from the West Midlands, North Wales and Scotland.

What different learning styles are offered and how are they supported?

Like our health, how we learn is unique, and the learning style analysis we do in the first year is only a partial analysis of a rounded human being.
Aural, logical, physical, verbal & visual, and also social and solitary learning stimuli are spread through the range of lecture styles and content. Student input and sharing encourages the communication of distinctive learning approaches. Small year groups allow a great deal of flexibility and personalisation of approach.
Self study and our learning development sessions play a strong supporting role, offering exercises and a wide range of options relevant to those learning styles which are less well represented in the year group.

How is clinical training delivered and when do students start to see patients?

Students take their first acute cases from year 1. These are fully supervised.
You will be invited to start attending student clinics in year 2 and this will continue through to year 4. College clinics which are online can meet all your clinical hour requirements, although arrangements for gaining the necessary experience closer to home is always possible.
In years 3 & 4 you will start to build a portfolio of patient case studies under supervision.

How are students supported during their training and beyond?

Ready response: the office is always keen to respond personally and swiftly. Mike, our administrator and technician is present throughout College weekends, so you can easily transact all your business face to face at the most convenient time.
Learning and personal development: your development as a learner, as a person, as a practitioner and as a professional is considered in everything we do, and explicitly addressed through interactive sessions within the timetable. Within Learning Development, we review clinical and academic progress and explore any barriers to progress you are experiencing and how we can help.Pastoral support: we have a Pastoral Director, available for at least part of every College weekend, and (this is also true for most of us) readily available between weekends to support, encourage and advise as necessary.
Continuing professional development: we hold an annual free graduate event, addressing relevant practice issues like research and making money! Our guest lecturer and open lecture programmes provides both opportunity and full control to graduates to continue their learning journey and to update skills.
Networks: the College provides a network hub for graduate activity and interaction through their specific e-newsletter. We encourage geographical groups of professional peers. Your year group is likely to contain friends and mutual support for life.

How do students develop the skills to balance and maintain their own health and wellbeing, whilst functioning as an effective practitioner?

Our Personal, Practitioner and Professional Development programme threads through the whole syllabus, and appears on your timetable in PPD sessions which specifically address issues like ‘The Healthy Practitioner’ and ‘Safe & Effective Therapeutic Relationships.’ The dynamic of patient relationships and our own response to them is honed through practical reflective practice in clinic and through supervised case-taking.

How is progress assessed?

The College operates a continuous assessment programme.Clinical progress is evaluated mutually between clinician and student after each clinic attendance and “own case” consultation. Our joint aim is for you to demonstrate the ability to manage complex health issues confidently and flexibly in response to different patient need, by the end of the course.
All other assessments are set as homework, and marked throughout the year. Some are short and intended to reinforce learning; others are projects, designed to stretch your ability to research independently, evaluate information and take personal responsibility for your conclusions.

How are your teachers supported and enabled to teach well?

We aim for a learning framework which supports equally: inspiration & imagination; and, reliable learning outcomes.
A clear professional framework syllabus, learning objectives and lesson planning supports lecturers and clinicians, providing the bedrock for individual expression. A monthly evaluation by teaching staff captures variations and shares new insights.
Teaching staff meet twice yearly (with the exception of supervisors, who gather annually) to plan, recommend changes and share experience.
Teachers have ready access to College CPD.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Our course demonstrates our intent: a community – rooted, professional, diverse – committed to developing confident, competent practitioners capable of critical evaluation.
Some other courses may appear cheaper (check what’s included) or shorter (check how many of their intake actually both graduate and are automatically admitted to professional bodies) or maybe easier (if you don’t expect patient care to be difficult sometimes, maybe this profession is not for you). We believe in our decisions, but we’re always open to challenge and learning – don’t be afraid to ask.
