The School has a strong community in Canada.
We brought our study course to the Canada in 1992, and have been
providing homeopathic education to Canadian students for over 15
years! Our course combines the flexibility of home study with the
rigorous training needed to become a successful homeopathic practitioner.
That’s because we blend in-depth independent work with hands
on, face-to-face training through regional seminars, clinical workshops
and a clinical supervision process. Regional study groups also provide
community and support to your independent work.
The School of Homeopathy is accredited by the Society
of Homeopaths in the UK, so you are assured of an in-depth,
quality programme. Once you have qualified, you will be a confident,
competent homeopath who can go out there, roll up your sleeves,
and get to work helping people at the core level of their illness.
Our flexible approach means that you can begin your study with
the programme at anytime, choose when and where you study, and to
what level. You can even ‘port’ the course from one
country to another; and you have an open invitation to attend classes
and clinics at our home base in England. All this adds up to making
our course the most in-depth and flexible programme available. Read
on and see why so many have trained with us.
Our programme progresses through four levels (see the courses
section of the site for more detail). For those that wish to practice
homeopathy we offer our highest Certification the School of Homeopathy’s
Practitioners Diploma, this course consists of:
Time: 3/4 Year
period (flexible)
Study: Homeopathy Units 1 –
18
Audio recording: 96 CD’s,
150 lectures
Seminar attendance: 3 x 3 days
with senior UK lecturers at selected Canadian and US locations
Clinical observation and practice:
2 x 7 Day Workshops and/or Summer School (100 hours)
Clinical supervision: 10 cases
with 2 follow-ups each
Medical Science: Anatomy &
Physiology and Pathology & Disease (sold as separate courses)
Each year of the course is divided into easy to manage Units, which
you study whilst listening to the CD lectures from the School and
reading the specially selected books. The CD recordings bring the
best of the classroom teachings to you at home. You get numerous
CDs of patient cases with discussions as well as generous amounts
of supporting information, examples of student work and model answers.
During the course you are guided through the topics by reference
to books and supporting explanations, descriptions, and diagrams.
You are able to check your progress and reinforce your learning
through self-assessment questions and model answers. At the end
of each Unit you write up your assessments and then send them off
to your personal tutor. All our tutors are highly skilled mentors
and experienced professional homeopaths. Most of them studied with
us at the School of Homeopathy.
Each course is accompanied by a book list that is essential reading
for your study. We offer these books with a 15% discount through
Alternative Training or you can purchase them from US and Canadian
suppliers such as Minimum Price Homeopathic Books and Chopra Books.
Along with your independent course work, you will have the opportunity
to meet fellow students and senior faculty at our regional seminars.
We usually offer 3 or 4 seminars each year in the Canada and the
US so that you can choose one (or more!) each year that is appropriate
and convenient for you to attend. Through lectures, video cases
and discussion, they provide new insights into understanding and
analyzing the case, and applying new methods for differentiating
remedies. This often includes fascinating new proving information.
The presentations are structured so that newer students are quickly
brought along and their horizons widened. Advanced students and
practitioners benefit from new perspective on cases, subtle aspects
of remedies, and fresh methods and philosophy presented.
Getting advanced clinical observation is critical to becoming
a good homeopath. In your second and third years, you will also
attend our week-long workshops, either in the Canada, US or the
UK if you like, where you will participants develop their case-work
skills, leading to more effective practice. A wide range of teaching
cases on video, as well as live cases where practical, are presented.
The sessions are designed as interactive, process-orientated learning
experiences, leading not only to a much deeper understanding of
homeopathy, but also sharpening self awareness and skills in self-evaluation.
These 7-day events are especially created for distance learning
students and are led by the School’s principal Misha Norland
and other senior faculty members. The workshops are a key part of
the programme, exposing students to plenty of clinic hours and case
taking.
Our supervision network programme means that we take students
right through to clinical practice. Canadian students can work with
our professionally trained Canadian Supervisor, Judith Mapleson,
or with one of our professionally trained UK supervisors. You can
also submit an application to work with someone you choose locally.
If you cannot find a suitable local supervisor, then you may contact
someone in our network of specially trained distance supervisors,
and communicate via email and telephone. We work with you to find
the best solution for your individual needs.
This is the highest level diploma offered by the School of
Homeopathy. There are no formal examinations; rigorous external
assessment is provided through completion of the comprehensive assignments
sets, with high standards of tutor marking. The full Practitioners
Course Diploma is equivalent to UK vocational Degree level or NVQ
Level 1 and will ensure your homeopathic career the best possible
start.
We also offer various intermediate certificates and diplomas so

then continue with another section at a later date if you wish.

In Canada, completion of our Practitioner Course meets the
requirements of major associations, including the Canadian Society
of Homeopaths, the North American Society of Homeopaths and the
Council for Homeopathic Certification for taking the CHC examination
for Registration (after one to two years of proven practice). By
joining our home study course you are assured of receiving a high
standard and quality of education, service and care. Students should
note, however, that completion of our programme does not confer a
license to practice. In Canada at the moment, Homeopathy is not
a regulated profession, and so there is no limitations or minimum
requirements for practice. However, it is in one’s best interests
(and those of your future clients) to get the best training possible.
Regulation is being considered for Homeopathy (and other Alternative
therapies) right now in Ontario. If and when our profession does
become regulated, rest-assured that we will make sure our programme reflects any new requirements that are legislated.
Our North American Programme is similar to our UK Programme . Since
the School of Homeopathy is a recognised leader in homeopathic education,
the UK diploma (DSH), given on completion of our attendance Practitioner
Course, leads to immediate registration in the UK. The UK programme
is fully accredited by The Society of Homeopaths who are one of
British representatives on the European and International Councils
for Classical Homeopathy. The Society of Homeopaths was established
in 1978 and is the largest organisation representing professional
homeopaths in the UK.
