As well as being the starting point for the Practitioner Advanced Diploma Course and Intro into Practice Diploma Courses, our Foundation Diploma Course is ideal for people who wish to learn about the theory of homeopathy but who might not want to go on to become practitioners.

The Foundation Diploma Course makes a complete arch, from first principles to the finished structure of classical homeopathy. Philosophy is covered in great depth and various approaches for studying materia medica are given, helping you find the way that works best for you. The approach is completely classical, based upon Hahnemannian and Kentian principles. The Foundation Diploma Course has allowed many students in the UK to progress onto year two, not only at our own School, but also at other establishments – its high standard being recognised and appreciated as a sound structure to build upon.

Book List One is required for this course. Alongside the Foundation Diploma Course, if you wish to go onto the Practitioners Advanced Diploma Course, you will also be required to complete Alternative Training’s Anatomy & Physiology Diploma Course unless you already have equivalent training.

"Studying at the School is like stepping into another world. You leave the mad pace of life behind and enter a welcome haven of tranquility. Here the teachers, tutors and mentors are there to support you on your journey with such faith in you that you cannot fail to achieve your potential."
Barbara, 2005
