Bach Flower Remedy Course FAQ

This is the beginning of a FAQ I am compiling as I receive questions about the course.

Will I Get Certification?

I receive many inquiries about certification upon completion of the Bach Flower Remedies Course. In answering this question, I need to explain what certification means.

At present, the only organization I know of that gives people official certification as Bach Flower Remedies pracittioners is the Bach Centre in England and its affiliates. Their level one basic course costs $310 and is supposed to take 40 hours to complete. They have several other levels of training. For more information, please see this page.

Any other certification is technically unofficial. I have been practicing without Bach Flower Centre certification since 1990, and this "lack" hasn't hampered my ability to work with and recommend the Remedies. Your success as a practitioner will be largely determined by your willingness to study the remedies deeply and your ability to understand your clients (be they human or other life forms).

Having said all that, I have decided to give certificates to those students who request one upon successful completion of the course. The cost, including shipping and handling, will be $5 for those living in the U.S. I will need to determine shipping costs for those living in other countries.

Is There An Advanced Course?

I've been thinking about this, too. My strongest feeling is that I would prefer to work with a mentoring program, that might combine email and online classes.

I am considering this more personalized model because I I feel that the basic course gives all the essentials. The challenges practitioners run into when applying the principles seem to get solved best on an individual basis.

One possible model might be to be available to review consultations you prepare for others. Another might be chats on requested topics.

As more students graduate from the course, I will have a better picture of their post-graduate needs.
