Foundation training is appropriate for healthcare practitioners who want to understand the basic principles of homeopathy. The course is organised in modules over a few study days and sets out to answer questions such as; What is homeopathic medicine? What makes homeopathy a holistic approach? How can viewing health and illness within a complex system enhance our relationship with clients?

The Primary Health Care Examination (PHCE) is a one-year course that allows you to develops your skills in holistic consulting and understand how to recommend simple remedies.

The PHCE will cover a syllabus of fifty medicines that can be incorporated into day-to-day practice and you will learn about clinical applications and key characteristics of these medicines.

You will have access to our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as well as online tutorials spread throughout the academic year. You will be expected to dedicate a few hours each week to home study, with our guidance. 

Successful candidates are then eligible to become Licensed Associates of the Faculty and the exam prepares for entry into a more expansive programme of study at an intermediate level, which in turn leads to preparation for the Diploma and MFHom examinations for those who wish to use homeopathy as a specialist skill.

All students are strongly encouraged to sit the PHCE which is considered to be an essential component of their training in homeopathic medicine. Success in the examination marks achievement of basic level skills within clearly defined standards of safety, quality of practice and professional competence.

Successful candidates may apply to the Faculty to become elected as a Licenced Associate and may use the initials LFHom, followed by a suffix denoting their profession.
