Professional Training in Mediumship Development:
Professional Diploma in Mental Mediumship: Dip M (APSS). [A minimum of 490 hours of tutor contact.] Successful students will be entitled to use the Academy Accreditation: Dip M (APSS).
Attaining Professional Standards in Mediumship:
The Academy's training programme for Mental Mediumship Development (message-relaying via mental communication processes) meets the rigorous standards set out by the Academy's Code of Ethics and Good Conduct, and it benefits from the thirty-five years (plus) of teaching experience of its tutor, Stephen O'Brien.
Diploma Entry Qualifications:
Certain conditions must be in place before you can begin your mediumship development: all applicants must hold the Academy’s PMHD Certificate (see details below); applicants must be over the age of eighteen, and must show an enthusiasm for mediumship, possess suitable personal qualities, be able to demonstrate an acceptable level of mediumistic skills, and be willing 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 Mental Mediumship:
1. As a foundation step towards professional mediumship standards, and to demonstrate their commitment to ongoing ethical standards of conduct and personal development, applicants are required to first obtain The Academy of Psychic and Spiritual Studies' foundation 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 foundation 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’ foundation Certificate of Merit in Psychic, Mediumistic and Healing Development: PMHD (APSS). This provides a thorough grounding in all practical, theoretical and skills practice relating to psychic, mediumistic and spiritual healing attunement, and to professional medium and therapist status.

Course Requirements:
• 100% commitment is required, and you must attend for a
minimum of 100 sessions spread over a minimum of a two-

demonstrate their skills at the Academy's Monday evening
Circle of Clairvoyance, and the tutor will assess their work and
offer ongoing tuition and supervision.

successfully complete a written assessment paper, plus a
1,000 word assignment.

working at special experiential events in the Academy,
students are also required to do at least six placement work
sessions for outside organisations, and to master basic
teaching, facilitation and communication skills.
