Attaining Diploma Standard in Spiritual Healing:
The Academy's training programme for Spiritual Healer Development meets and exceeds the rigorous standards set out by UK Healers, which is the United Kingdom's policy-making and self-regulatory body for spiritual healers; it also includes professional indemnity insurance for our practitioners, and it adheres to the extensive training requirements and legal standards required by government guidelines, and by The Alliance of Healing Associations.
The Academy's spiritual healers belong to:

UK Healers Alliance of Healing Associations (AHA)

Diploma Entry Qualifications:
Certain conditions must be in place before you can begin your healing studies at the Academy: all applicants must be over the age of eighteen, and must show an enthusiasm and dedication to spiritual healing, possess suitable personal qualities, and show a willingness to study and learn. A careful assessment of each candidate’s level of spiritual development and attainment is made prior to acceptance.

Three Steps to Attain our Professional Diploma in Spiritual Healing:

1. As a foundation step towards professional therapist status and to demonstrate their commitment to ongoing ethical and professional standards of conduct and personal development, applicants are first required to obtain The Academy of Psychic and Spiritual Studies' Certificate of Merit in Self-Awareness and Personal Development (APSS [SA]). (80 hours tuition over 6 months). Click the accredited courses hyperlink on the left of your screen to view this training-programme.

2. After attaining the APSS (SA) Certificate, candidates can apply to join the second stage of our comprehensive development programme, which is The Academy of Psychic and Spiritual Studies’ Certificate of Merit in Psychic, Mediumistic and Healing Development: PMHD (APSS). This provides a thorough grounding in all practical and theoretical matters relating to psychic, mediumistic, therapeutic and spiritual healing attunement, and to attaining professional therapist status. (80 hours tuition over 6 months). Click the accredited courses hyperlink on the left of your screen to view this training programme.

3. Following graduation with your PMHD Certificate, you can apply to join our Professional Diploma in Spiritual Healing course. 100% commitment is required, and you must attend for a minimum of 100 sessions spread over a minimum of a
two-year training period, which conforms to the high standards and professional guidelines set out by UK Healers, and legal guidelines set out by the government.

Experiential Practice in Spiritual Healing:
During the course, student healers will receive professional supervision, tuition and guidance while gaining immediate hands-on experience, and will be given weekly supervised opportunities to practise their skills and abilities with fellow students, and also with clients who attend the Academy's two weekly Spiritual Healing Clinics (on Mondays).

Good Practice, and Code of Ethics:
In addition to conforming to legal guidelines and to the UK Healers Code of Conduct, the Spiritual Healers at the Academy also adhere to two other stringent Codes of Ethics and Good Practice: the Academy's Code, and the Alliance of Healing Associations' Code of Ethics.

Written Work and Assessments:
Assessment and Training is ongoing, and in addition there will be six educational workshops (three per year) held during the two-year training and development period, each workshop lasting for 4 hours, in which the key aspects of the Unfoldment, Understanding and Practice of Spiritual Healing will be taught. Attendance at these workshops is mandatory (not an optional commitment), and specific training and a personal assessment is given to each student.

After each workshop, students are required to successfully complete a written assessment paper, plus an assignment of 1,000 words.

The Syllabus Includes:

1: Attunement; Codes of Ethics and Legalities; Contact and
    Absent Healing.
2: 'Safe' Counselling Skills; Healing Psychodynamics; Establishing an
    Effective Client/Healer Therapeutic Relationship.
3: Understanding Supervision, Common Ailments, Record-Keeping, and
    Deepening your Attunement Skills.
4: Basic Physiology and Anatomy; Holistic Health and Nutrition.
5: Encouraging the Healing Process; Belief, Faith, and The Placebo
    Effect.
6: Reassessing Legalities, Ethical Standards; Continuing Personal
   Development; Preparation for Professional Healer Registration.

Successful candidates will then be awarded the professional Diploma in Spiritual Healing: Dip H (APSS) - an achievement which acknowledges the practitioner's competence to practice the art and science of spiritual healing to high standards.

Fees for the Diploma:
Current fees are £5 for each healing training session or clinic attended. Your six workshop fees are £25 per workshop (see workshop details below) - and at the beginning of each year there is a registration fee of £30, which includes your professional indemnity insurance.
