DIPLOMA COURSES
The stand-alone Diploma Courses can be taken by all existing practitioners who wish to expand their diagnostic and therapeutic protocols in clinical practice. They are written for clinical settings with practitioners in mind, and go way beyond the theoretical concepts for each topic. So these are high-level courses designed for the practitioner with some background in the biological sciences, who has experience in a clinical setting with patients and diseases.

Practitioners who wish to move into other areas or add a module such as Orthomolecular Nutrition or Live Blood Analysis to their practices will benefit greatly from taking the individual modules in these subjects as this is what they were designed for. They have the practitioner in mind who wishes to learn the theory, the practice and be able to begin implementing this modality into their practice immediately. There are many Diploma Courses to choose from, and upon completion of each one certification will be awarded as a separate Diploma Certificate with Transcript to indicate that you have completed the course specifying what topics have been studied.

Most of the material is on-line and can easily be downloaded as interactive .pdf files that can be read at any time, even while traveling - for all the courses combined these are .pdf files are equivalent to thousands of pages of reading material!

There are also many interactive videos and documentaries to watch and you can even copy these directly to your laptop and watch them while on a plane. There are also hundreds of links to many other sources of helpful information - these courses have taken many years to write and develop and are at a cutting-edge level that is difficult to match.

To gain maximal benefit from the course, it is recommended that the student plan to take two to three courses per semester - each semester running over 4 chronological months. There are a total of 16 courses, which means that the commited student should be able to complete all the courses in approximately 24 months.

There are timed, written examinations that need to be completed and passed with a minimum 60% pass mark. Scores above 80% merit a 'Distinction' that will appear on the final Diploma, as well as on the individual Diplomas that are awarded for each individual course. These examinations will be available on-line but will be timed and will terminate as soon as the allocated time is over. Examination results would normally be made available to the student within 24-48 hours.
