Our professional courses:

• Are taught as 7 or 8 modules a year of 3 to 6 days in length (see 'a typical module')

• Are true training courses, with guided learning of cooking, diagnostic and interviewing skills, graded homework tasks, and assessments at the end of each year

• Put a strong emphasis on students’ own physical, emotional and spiritual development

• Combine the skills of giving an Oriental type of health consultation with modern emotional counselling, creating truly holistic practitioners

• Teach business and promotion skills, and support students in setting up their own successful businesses
