For us macrobiotics is an inclusive way of life that can work whatever your circumstances or beliefs – and this is reflected in everything we do in our courses.
Our professional courses are the longest and most in-depth training in macrobiotics in Europe, leading to qualifications which are internationally accredited. If your career aspirations are health or food related then we can help you achieve your goals.
Over many years, we’ve developed a programme of short courses that work if you want a good introduction to macrobiotic eating and living, to learn about a specific health issue, particular aspect of macrobiotics, special areas of interest or develop cooking and menu planning skills. We’ve also developed a range of online courses, so you can benefit wherever you are located.
Our longer training courses also offer flexible part-time learning with intensive and one or two year-long trainings available in a modular format. Beyond that we also have courses designed for our graduates – thus helping with every stage of the learning journey.
