Students & External Examiner Comments
Please be fully aware that the ARH booklet “Which Homeopathy Course” is now over 6 years old and is a collection of colleges’ responses to a questionnaire. We encourage you to follow their advice which is to use it as a ‘starting point’ and “that all prospective students find out as much as they can about a college or course before they commit themselves. The ARH state that they “[do] not monitor, recognise, validate or endorse any particular homeopathic college or training course.” If you wish to consult a professional body that does validate and recognise professional homeopathic colleges, you will need to look at The Society of Homeopaths website as they are the only body currently carrying out this role in the UK (see http://www.homeopathy-soh.org/careers-in-homeopathy/find-a-course/).
“If you wish to embark on a course with a view to a professional qualification which will afford you with sound knowledge and credibility to become a competent practitioner then this is the college/course to join.” Student feedback
“The procedures within the college are effective at assessing the standard attained by students. The content of the course is excellent and it is clearly evident how it prepares students for working as professional homeopaths.” External examiner
“Another strength is the way the learning has been carefully thought through – the foundations seem to have been given in the first two years and then these are built on in the third year – and everything seems to be more clear – the pieces of the puzzle all seem to fit together now.” Student feedback
“Your documentation is of a very high standard and makes it easy to understand what to do with systems and what your expectations of the students are.” Student feedback
“This course leads you from the beginning and has left me very comfortable with myself as a homeopath going out into the world to practice – which was the aim I believe!”
“I feel very supported in starting to practice, and completing the research. I feel ready to go forth with my current level of understanding and ability.”
“I cannot finish this without stating that another strength is the level of teaching and dedication of the staff.” Student feedback
“A major strength of the course is the diversity of the lecturers; each one with their own style of teaching. I feel this is important as different students will resonate with different styles of teaching and therefore have the opportunity to learn to the best of their ability. All the lecturers share the quality of being inspirational, bringing their own stories and experiences into their teaching. Student feedback
“Your strengths as a course provider, apart from the excellent academic standards which are constantly maintained, for me this year has to be the outstanding personal support I have received as an individual. In my darkest hour all the tutors without exception, were incredibly understanding and supportive.” Student feedback
“The quality of the teaching is excellent, there is plenty of space for individuality. I’ve never felt manipulated or coerced into a certain role or type of thinking. I believe the college holds a perfect balance between allowing the individual to develop within an environment that keeps the experience safe.” Student feedback
“I think the idea of studying child development in this way is very good, by linking emotional, physical, mental development to homeopathic philosophy.” Student feedback
“Whether a student goes on to become a homeopath or not, this course teaches so much more about life and developing as an individual. I would recommend it to anyone committed to themselves and wanting to learn and open their minds to new things.” Student feedback
“This year has impacted so greatly on me, changing the way I view everything, objects, people, strength, weakness, the list is endless. I feel that there has been more inspiring information learnt this year than equals the other 40 … odd years, absolutely life changing. I would describe it as inspirational people at the helm.” Student feedback
“The level of the course is very high and that implies a lot of personal work but at the same time I feel this is giving me a great basis for my professional life/standard.” Student feedback
“I think it’s really good the amount of philosophy that you get in year 1, it gives you a solid basis to learn everything else on.” Student feedback
“The college’s greatest assess is the grounded, classical teachings, the philosophy, order and professionalism.” Student feedback
