The course covers the teachings of Nature Cure, Biogenic Living, and Natural Hygiene. The multi-disciplinary nature of the course enables the student to gain a broad understanding of the art and practice of natural living. The complete course takes 4 years and is offered at two levels:
* the "teacher" or "general interest" level, and * the "professional" level.
To ensure practical understanding and expertise in Natural Living, students studying at the professional level complete a six-month internship with us at our Clohesy River Health Farm. If required, the period of internship may be spread over two years.
