1. Occupational Health & Safety & Infection Control - A VETAB accredited qualification needs to be achieved and sighted.
2. Senior First Aid Certificate - a senior first aid qualification needs to be achieved and sighted.
3. 400 hours of clinical training – to be arranged through a qualified and approved Homœopathic Practitioner. The NSW School of Natural Medicine offers Intensives that are accepted as clinic hours. They are offered in a block of 35 hours (5 days).

Upon completion of these courses you become eligible to receive an Advanced Diploma of Homœopathy from The NSW School of Natural Medicine once recognition of prior learning has been approved for any courses completed outside of the school. This enables you to apply for recognition with the ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society) as a qualified homœopathic practitioner.

We strongly recommend that you attend as many Homœopathic Intensive as possible during your studies to further enhance your knowledge. However, one intensive is sufficient to receive the Advanced Diploma of Homœopathy.
