Re: distance learning course

[Guest guest]

Hi ,It's not officially distance learning because there is actually still the same contact time, but the Lincoln BSc(Hons) in Herbal Medicine will be delivered via block learning as of this September. Students will have to attend for 8 3-day weekends per level (there are 3 levels to the degree). They will still also have to complete 500 hours of clinical training in addition to this.

I'm Admissions tutor this year so if you or your contact need further details please contact me at rjames@...regards,

Robyn

 

I'm wondering if there's a good distance learning herbal course, following an enquiry.

thanks for all ideas,

Katharine

Hello Katharine,

My understanding about your email is that someone has asked you about a distance learning herbal course

May I draw your attention to a 3 year + distance herbal healing course, set up recently by Frances , UHRP, administered by her from the Althea Herbal Healing Garden, on her land in Devon. I don’t know what level you want such a course to go to, but here is a non-university course that is of a reasonably high level and has 4 registered herbalists as teachers, keeping to URHP (United Register of Herbal Practitioners) standards of entry for Western Herbal Medicine. Recently, Frances tells me her course will work to fulfil criteria laid out in a recent mapping document from the URHP for applicants wishing to become herbalists from non-EHTPA accredited training institutions.

The course involves some weekend seminar sessions each year held in a classroom at the garden, but is mainly distance learning, and is in a modular format so you can pay as you go with the modules. This course is strong if you are interested in relying on your own medicines made from plants in your locality, what has become called called earth based herbal medicine - You can scroll down her website to find brief details about this course, but you will have to mail her from the contact section of the website to get a more detailed prospectus:

Good luck with your enquiries,
