The Certificate Course in Iridology can be studied online as a
self-paced course, or in-class in our college in London. Level 3
qualification in PA&P is a pre-requisite for the Certificate Course
in Iridology, unless you are a practitioner already.
Upon completing the Certificate Course in Iridology you can enrol
on the Diploma / Advanced Course in Iridology. The Advanced
/ Diploma Course in Iridology is only open to practitioners of
different modalities and students to become practitioners.
The Advanced / Diploma Course runs in-class in London once a
year. Upon completion, you will receive an additional diploma,
become eligible to join GNII (Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists
International) and practise iridology professionally.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology is an invaluable tool in any practitioner’s
clinic as it takes the guesswork out of healthcare
and enables practitioners to accurately tailor their
approach to the client’s needs. It can be incorporated
into any speciality (Health Coach, Nutrition, Herbal
Medicine, Homeopathy, Acupuncture, etc.) or
practised as a stand-alone therapy. Upon completing
the Kinesiology Foundation Course, you can continue
studying kinesiology at diploma level and become a
fully qualified kinesiologist.
The Kinesiology Foundation and Kinesiology Diploma
courses are accredited by the Kinesiology Association.
