Changing careers

If you are looking at this site, then you have probably been thinking long and hard about studying homeopathy.

But what was it that led you here?

Has it been a long, convoluted thought process that eventually led to your seeking a vocational education that you can complete whilst still earning the bread and butter?
Or was it a flash of inspiration, a bright spark of an idea that you simply had to follow up?
Perhaps you have been a patient of homeopathy and have experienced for yourself the incredible healing properties of this medicine and now feel you must know more.

People from all walks of life come to study with us. People just like you. Here are a few of the careers from which our students have come to us:

…. And so on and so on…

What this says to us is that all you need to be an excellent student of homeopathy is a passion to study this fascinating subject! Your parents probably used to tell you that the world is your oyster. In our society of youth, beauty and financial success, it is easy to think that it may be too late to find that pearl in yourself that can lead to fulfilment and job satisfaction.

Our students come to us from the ages of 19 to 65 (and all ages in between!) – It is never too late to discover a passion for a new subject. It’s never too late to seek contentment and success.

You can teach an old dog new tricks! The beauty of this subject in particular is that you will be able to use all the knowledge you have acquired in your life to help you become the practitioner that you need to be. Whatever you have done, whoever you have been, whoever you aim to be, a vocational course with us at Salisbury Homeopathy College, will help you find that pearl within.

Curious? We love curiosity.

Curiosity about people. Curiosity about health and disease. Curiosity about life. Curiosity about yourself. Curiosity to learn.

This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.

Are you curious to read about some graduate’s stories of being a student? Whilst we have categorised them, we understand that few people fit only one category, so we would encourage you to read several. Click here.

And here’s some more questions potential students have….

I’m really ready to take a new direction in my life, is this possible by studying homeopathy?

Yes! In fact many of us practising today have also had a former career. Our graduates also have come from a wide variety of professional and non-professional backgrounds, all feeling just as you do now.

Can I really make a difference?

Yes, undoubtedly. Each generation needs fresh input and also the continuity of newly educated practitioners following them on. Even homeopaths retire eventually. Have you considered your talents? Maybe you can see yourself contributing to the education of homeopaths in the future?

Am I entitled to any financial help?

Like any student working towards a vocational qualification you are able to apply for a Career Development Loan, we are registered with the CDL organisation and can assist in your application.

At Salisbury Homeopathy College, we have a homeopathic home, where curiosity and passion can be shared and nurtured. We welcome new students, who each bring their own mix of acquired skills and knowledge, to share their own journey with us. We like to say fly with us, as our college symbol is the goose.

Shamans believe that to dream that you are flying with geese shows you have the ability to reach places you never thought you were capable of. At SHC, we are committed to helping students reach those places and offer a supportive but challenging environment to do so.

This is what we believe about being a professional homeopath:

A professional homeopath knows more than simply homeopathy.
A professional homeopath acknowledges the necessity of understanding the past, before they can understand the present, and the need to be wholly in the present before moving into the future.
A professional homeopath understands the need for integration and cooperation and seeks to gain knowledge of health, disease and medicine.
A professional homeopath is passionate about the future of the profession and the world we work in.

This is what we believe about homeopathic education:

A good education in homeopathy is essential for anyone who wishes to become a professional, competent, confident practitioner of homeopathy.
Competent, confident, homeopathic practitioners are essential for our profession and our profession is essential to the future of medicine.

It is our aim to deliver this education to every potential practitioner who studies with us at the Salisbury Homeopathy College.
