It’s A Long And Winding Road

In an effort to find holistic and alternative medicine courses and certification via the internet, I found some interesting choices. This subject matter has long been of interest to me, however, I have no formal training and wondered what it would cost as well as what was available via the internet. My concern was not with accredited courses, but with a good solid learning experience that would give more credibility to both applying for writing positions and knowledge behind my articles.

Because I have not looked into these schools extensively, you must do so before signing up and paying for any classes. I also would suggest you look into the background of the instructors, making sure they have the proper education and certification to teach the class.

World Wide Learn is out of the UK, offering both classes and diploma courses. They advertise highly accredited instructors teaching over 500 courses. This is but a short list:

* Acupressure Diploma Course
* Aromatherapy Diploma Course
* Colour Therapy Course
* Crystal Healing Course
* Depression Management
* Eating Disorders Diploma Course
* Energy Healing for Animals
* Herbalism Diploma Course
* Meditation Diploma Course
* Meridian Therapies Course
* Reflexology Diploma Course

Alternative Medicine College of Canada offers accredited courses, but it’s way over my price range. Of course, you are paying for the accreditation.

International Institute of Holistic Healing offers an online Acupressure Certificate course for $175.00 with a textbook purchase of under $25. This is more in line with the fee I was hoping for. They offered other certified courses in nutrition, herbology, homeopathy, aromatherapy and others.
