Course overview
We recognise that everyone learns and assimilates information in different ways. Our approach combines self-assessment with traditional testing to create a balanced and inclusive system. This ensures that each student’s strengths and challenges are recognised, while maintaining a supportive learning environment. Our aim is to provide a strong framework for assessment that enhances, rather than hinders, the learning process - supporting those who may be excellent practitioners even if formal exams aren’t their strength.
Each academic year consists of ten study weekends, held roughly one month apart, supported by guided home study. Students are expected to dedicate an average of 10–15 hours per week to their studies. In the first two years, the focus includes Anatomy and Physiology, while in years three and four students go on to study Pathology and Disease.
1st year overview
The first year aims to give students a solid grounding in the principles and philosophy of homeopathy, along with a practical understanding of first-aid remedies. A range of the most commonly used remedies will be introduced, helping students begin to develop confidence in remedy selection and case understanding. We believe it is essential to grasp the fundamentals of homeopathy early on, providing a strong framework for all future learning and clinical practice.
Throughout the four years, students are asked to compile and maintain philosophy and Materia Medica files - an invaluable personal resource for study and future practice. Apart from the medical science assignments, there are no formal assessments in the first year; instead, all work is reviewed on an advisory basis to support your learning and development.
2nd year overview
The second year builds on the foundations of first-year study, deepening students’ theoretical understanding of homeopathic principles and exploring more complex concepts of remedies and the disease process. A range of major remedies used in both acute and chronic conditions will be studied, preparing students to apply this knowledge more practically in the clinical training of the third and fourth years.
Case work is introduced through paper and video cases, allowing students to begin analysing and understanding real-life presentations in a supported setting. Assessment includes a Materia Medica test and the continued maintenance of student files, designed to consolidate learning and strengthen confidence in remedy knowledge and case analysis.
3rd year overview
The third year focuses on the vocational aspects of becoming a practitioner, with particular emphasis on professional development and the art of case-taking and analysis. Students begin attending the active teaching clinic, observing live cases and developing skills in repertorisation and case evaluation.
This stage introduces different approaches to homeopathic theory and methodology, alongside a greater emphasis on therapeutics and remedies commonly used for specific conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory issues. By the end of the year, students should feel confident in applying what they’ve learned and be ready to begin taking cases themselves within the supervised clinic in Year Four.
4th year overview
In the final year, the focus is on integrating all the knowledge and experience gained throughout the course, enabling students to graduate as confident, competent, and professional practitioners. The emphasis is on clinical training: students take their own cases, analyse and prescribe under supervision, and continue to refine their case management skills.
Theoretical study during this year is centred around clinical experience, ensuring that learning is directly relevant to practice. The teaching clinic, supervised by Mike Bridger and Dion Tabrett, provides a supportive environment and a strong working model for all aspects of case-taking, analysis, and practice management.
Licentiate qualification
On successful completion of the full four-year programme, you will be awarded the Licentiate of the Contemporary College of Homeopathy (LCCH). This professional qualification is industry-recognised and permits graduates to begin practising as qualified homeopathic practitioners immediately upon graduation.
The college and its courses are recognised by all major registering bodies, including The Society of Homeopaths, the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths, and the Homeopathic Medical Association.
Practitioner development
Practitioner development is a vital part of homeopathic training.
To work successfully as a practitioner, students must cultivate a range of personal and interpersonal skills - including the ability to listen objectively, to support others through illness or emotional distress, to process challenging material, and to navigate ethical issues with sensitivity and integrity. Developing these capacities requires a high degree of self-awareness and self-knowledge.
In order to support patients effectively on their healing journey, it is essential that students have engaged in a similar process themselves, either prior to or during their training.
