The aim of this Course is to provide, a general basic knowledge of healing and subjects, which are related to it.  The Course has been designed to follow current teaching methods, (NVQ format), so that at the end of the Course the student will have a Portfolio of work as well as a certificate as evidence of their attendance.

The Course is a part of the two-year probationer-training period but is open to anyone who seeks awareness.  The Course contains, both practical and written material and each student is provided with worksheets for each Module and a document wallet.  During their training period, each student is expected to keep a diary/log book, which is a record of their personal journey and their growth and development as a probationer healer.  The Course covers:

Preparing your environment for Healing

Preparing yourself and your environment for healing act, privately and publicly; keeping accurate records.

During the two-year probationary period each probationer is supervised by a qualified healer and undergoes continuous assessment.  The Foundation Course is a 6-day workshop run concurrently with the two-year probationary period.

When it is felt that a probationer is ready for upgrading to full healer he/she is given three months in which to heal four patients on a regular basis.  The four patients are made aware that the healer is a probationer and at the end of the healing sessions they will be asked to provide a testimonial letter based on the following: how the healing affected them and how the healer related to them.  Occasionally it may be necessary to provide a further practical assessment at the end of the training period; if this is the case then an independent assessor will assess the probationer

The practical sessions are on a fortnightly basis, over two years.  During the practical sessions the understanding and the sensitivity to the healing energies is developed as well as individual personal development and the awareness as the healing channel.

Supervised practical situations are provided to ensure the probationer learns to relate with patients in public as well as privately and acquires a knowledge and broad understanding of the Code of Conduct, Disciplinary Procedures and the insurance as well as developing skills in listening, relating and co-operating with other healers and the public in general.  The importance of keeping records and legal implications.

Much emphasis is placed on the healing session and the role the healer has to play in this context, the healer/patient relationship, healing techniques, meditation and breathing techniques.  Cooperation with the medical profession, personal health and safety.

Professional First Aid training is for the individual to decide whether or not it is appropriate; it is not provided as part of the course.
