  • About This Course

    The principles of naturopathy state that the body has the ability to heal itself by its vital force; disease is the resistance by this force to abnormal conditions in the body, disturbing the normal functioning of its organs and tissues and, naturopathy is a holistic treatment which approaches the client as a whole and not merely the symptoms of the complaint.

    This course offers the student a comprehensive introduction to the subjects presented in the syllabus. The course is designed for continuous assessment and tutor feedback will help to keep you motivated throughout the course.

The final exam which you pay for if you want to t...

I took the online Level 3 Dog Grooming course with the final exam at the end. I know it is just an online course with no practical skills required but this is the next best thing! It provided me with amazing resources and informative modules of different areas. I found this course very good and would definitely recommend it!
