1. What is the academic value of your programmes?
We make every effort to provide the highest quality of educational materials (See feedbacks) but due to the online nature of courses, there is a ceiling for the academic value of such courses. This means in the best and ideal conditions they are not as valuable as similar courses in the class-based mode. We see this limitation especially in basic sciences and practical skills of medicine like anatomy, physical examination, history taking, etc.
This is the main reason that we refrain from providing undergraduate programmes as the primary medical education of our applicants.
2. Can I practice homeopathy in my country of residence upon your certification?
Homeopathy practice is not regulated universally. Therefore you need to contact your local or national registering body. We encourage you to do this before applying, especially if such is your main purpose for starting homeopathy education. Please see the following question and our answer as well.
3. Do you support attestation of my certificate should my national registering body contact you?
As a general rule, "No". The reason is the online nature of your education, which does not allow us to physically validate your identity before taking your online exams. In other words, we cannot validate either that it was our student, MR. SMITH, who answered the questions or one of his friends.
Currently, the only exception to this general rule is "Fellowship courses" for students who are personally known to the head of the programme. In such cases we support attestation and endorsement of their fellowship certificates.
4. Who can benefit most from attending your courses?
Based on received feedbacks of students and graduates, practising homeopaths who are looking for high-quality postgraduate education in a convenient and cost-effective mode.
5. Do you accept credit of my previous education in homeopathy?
"Yes" if it is traceable and with a reputable homeopathy school. Your primary homeopathy or healthcare education should be recognised by at least one national or international registration body. This means you should be a registered practitioner or eligible for registration beforehand to be able to take one of our courses.
6. What happens if I cannot complete my course before the confirmed completion date?
That is not good but we understand that some unforeseen circumstances may occur. In such situations we try to be as flexible and understanding as possible. Depending on the circumstances, you may be granted a limited time to complete your course, be liable for some financial fines or even removed from the registry of the course.
7. Can I take two programmes at once?
There is nothing to stop you; however we do not recommend it. Most of our students find the courses quite intense and challenging, so they need to sufficient enough time to go to the depth of each lesson and do their weekly assignments.
8. Are you linked or associated with ORGANISATION X, Y, Z which are not listed in your website?
"No". We are not linked or associated with any other organisation apart from what you can find in our website. PHAU has no international branch, affiliated, associated or recognised institution.
