Naturopathy program

Naturopathy program:

Our program of naturopathy involves an average of 1900 hours of study and it contains five specific and distinct parts:

1. The first part covers the acquisition of knowledge, based on proven courses offered on line and presented in four semesters of 13 booklets each (multimedia presentations). At the end of each booklet, an objective questionnaire allows to prove the degree of understanding of the student on the subject taught.

2. The second part involves four (4) exams: functioning of the human body, pathology, trophology (food management) and medical terminology. Each of these subjects is examined in order to verify the degree of knowledge of the student in these subjects. These exams take place online, in real time. Preparation notes are provided for each exam.

3. The third part involves the consolidation of acquired knowledges. In this section, the student must answer 35 multiple-choice questions following the analysis of various tables presented to him. A personal search is required to successfully complete this part.

4. The fourth part focuses on the art of healing. It involves 35 multiple choice questions. In this part, the student receives a document of approximaltely 60 pages on the therapies to be applied in the treatment of diseases. This can be used as a practical traineeship.

5. The fifth part and last part requires the production of a memorandum on a specific subject (vitamins, minerals and trace elements). This brief must be written according to detailed specifications that are provided to the student in due course. Each of these parts of the course must be executed in the specified order.
