At the heart of our worldwide programmes
lie the most comprehensive home study courses available. They combine
some of our finest teaching material, carefully selected from the
accumulated resources of the School since it was founded, with regularly
updated current approaches to give you thorough, enjoyable and creative
study. You can start whenever you like and the courses can be spread
over time. In this way they can be fitted into busy life schedules.
Encouragement and guidance is given from a personally assigned
tutor who supports you throughout your endeavours, giving extensive
written feedback on your assignments. Mentors and tutors are practicing
and fully qualified homeopathic practitioners, chosen for their
skills in helping you learn. The home study course manager, Amanda
Norland, supervises your progress, and is available for queries
or pastoral care. We also have other in-house facilitation, should
any problems be beyond our scope to solve. If you have email access,
then this is the most effective way to send in your assignments
and to ask any questions regarding your study.
"Thank you for making the International
Study Programme available. It has enriched my life and the lives of
those around me tremendously and even though I still have quite
a long way to go I am convinced that I have discovered my 'purpose.'

You have the benefit of carefully edited CD recordings of classroom
teachings, CD’s of actual cases and interactions, plentiful
amounts of underpinning information, and numerous examples of past
students’ work. You are guided through the topics by reference
to books and as well as by specifically written explanations, descriptions
and diagrams. You check your progress and reinforce your learning
through self-assessment questions and model answers. At the end
of each study unit, you send written assignments to your tutor for
feedback and assessment. All of this can be done at your own rate
and in your own time. Self-reflection plays a crucial role in your
learning and later in developing your skills in casework.
"I am becoming more and more involved
and obsessed with homoeopathy and I really enjoy this school with
all the opportunities you offer and also with the materials. I like
the whole system; that I can learn everything from distance, free
from obligations, no deadlines, no tests, the whole thing is upon
me and this gives a lot of freedom and free choice, much more inspiration
than with deadlines (at least for me). So thank you for you and
Amanda and the whole staff for making and leading such a wonderful
college."

Our home study programmes alter slightly in different parts of the world. You can read about each programme in the dedicated regional sections of the website:
UK
America
Canada
Australia
Europe
Japan
Rest of the world
Programme differences are also detailed also after each course description in the courses section. Please note, however, that the study material is the same in all courses; it is only the clinical support that alters. All students wishing to become practitioners have to attend clinical observation hours and go into clinical supervision.
"With all the educational programmes I've
been through (including medical school and psychiatry residency),
the School's North American programme is the most valuable, well thought-out,
thought-provoking, rigorous, inspiring, and clinically relevant
training that I've experienced. Tutors, faculty, administration
were all extremely responsive and caring. A great foundation for
my evolving work as a homeopathic practitioner."
