Classical Homeopathy Practitioner

During the course we continue to develop many of the concepts learnt in the Introduction into Practice Course, Intermediate and Advanced Course but with the emphasis on increasing your skills in case receiving, analysis and prescription, to prepare you for practice. Various approaches are given to help you unravel cases, such as group classifications and elemental archetypes.

We encourage the use of creative ideas such as these as they often tell us as much about ourselves as they do about the subjects being studied.

Detailed casework takes place using material generated from the extensive library of recordings at the School. Various models for case analysis are explored, with lecturers presenting those that they have found particularly useful in their practice. These case Studies enhance understanding enormously. They encourage the closest scrutiny that in turn leads to an awareness of what needs to be cured and the subsequent establishment of a relevant hierarchy of symptoms. Use of the repertory and differential comparison of Materia Medica then leads to a selection of the most appropriate remedy.

Alongside the Practitioner Diploma Course you will also be required to complete Alternative Training’s Pathology & Disease Course unless you already have equivalent training.

In becoming a Practitioner, Case-work under supervision is the crucial aspect of the Practitioner Diploma and your development as a homeopath. We ask you to take at least ten cases with follow-ups over a period of at least one and a half years.

You and your supervisor will undertake a thorough and progressive evaluation of your skills, an important part of which will be your own reflection of what is being learned from each case-taking and about your practice in general.

These cases, their follow-ups and ongoing prescriptions, will be assessed on an on-going basis and then again as a case portfolio at the end of your study. By demonstrating professional competence and appropriate academic standards the Vis Vitalis E-learning Intl. Practitioner Advanced Diploma is awarded.

Each year of the course is divided into easy to manage Units, which you study throughout e-learning method, listening to the CD lectures or watching video lectures from the School and reading the specially selected books. The CD recordings and video lectures bring the best of the classroom teachings to you at home. You get CDs of patient cases with discussions as well as generous amounts of supporting information, examples of student work and model answers. During the course you are guided through the topics by reference to books and supporting explanations, descriptions, and diagrams. You are able to check your progress and reinforce your learning through self-assessment questions and model answers. At the end of each Unit you write up your assessments and then send them off to your personal tutor. All our tutors are highly skilled mentors and are used to working with students from across the world. They are also all professional homeopaths.

Each course is accompanied by a book list that is essential reading for your study. Also, in the student area you can find most of the books you need in e-format so that you can download them and spare money on them.
