The 2 year Diploma from the International Academy of Classical Homeopathy at Alonnisos Greece and the Vithoulkas College of Classical Homeopathy, UK have been awarded with a certificate of Quality Assurance from the Faculty of Homeopathy, UK. This includes an appraisal of the course ethos, organisation, programme content, educational level, teaching and assessment.https://www.facultyofhomeopathy.org/

Additionally, our Course in Classical Homeopathy is the only Homeopathy Course that has been accredited and/or adopted by respected medical universities and educational organizations throughout the world. More details here: www.vithoulkas.edu.gr/en/2-year-course/recognition

Within this Course are presented new and pioneering theories i.e. “Levels of Health” and the “Continuum of the Unified Theory of Diseases”.

The “Levels of Health” Theory enables students to thoroughly understand the process their patient is going through and they will understand when to apply homeopathic medicines, what potency to use, how often to repeat the medicine and what to expect as a reaction. They will have the possibility to follow the long-term treatment of many cases, see how Professor George Vithoulkas takes the case, how he analyses and synthesizes the information in order to find the correct remedy, what strategies he employs to arrive at a prescription and how he differentiates between remedies.

“The Continuum of a Unified Theory of Diseases” offers students the possibility of seeing the medical history of a patient in a holistic way in order to evaluate the effect of the homeopathic treatment. Students will understand why a patient, after the first or the second prescription, starts unravelling the pathology that was hidden in the depths of the immune system which formed the basis of the presenting pathology. Students are often delighted to see the emergence of the whole history of pathology of the patient.

If a student wants to receive the Diploma of the IACH, he/she has to complete all the hours of the course, pass Tests and Final Exams and submit 10 cases with six months’ follow-ups (at least 2 follow-ups). If a student doesn’t take part in the Final Exams and does not submit 10 cases, he/she will receive a Certificate of Attendance.

The E-learning Course offered by the IACH contains all the necessary knowledge to provide a solid foundation towards becoming a good homeopath. So our Diploma certifies knowledge but does not automatically give one the right to practice homeopathy. Students must comply with the laws and regulations of their respective country. As these laws are varied around the world, the responsibility for that research falls to the interested student.

There is no statutory legal regulation of homeopathic practitioners in the UK. Doctors and other healthcare professionals who practise homeopathy are regulated by their relevant professional body (e.g. doctors are regulated by the General Medical Council). 

We recommend that you Register with one of the following Organisations, after completing the Homeopathy Course by Prof. Vithoulkas, UK and receiving your Diploma from the IACH:

a) The Faculty of Homeopathy is the only body in the UK which represents medically-qualified homeopaths and its members are bound to act within the competence of their profession and their level of training and qualification in homeopathy. https://www.facultyofhomeopathy.org/pages/how-to-join-the-faculty-of-homeopathy

b) The Society of Homeopaths
