Crystal Therapy Certificate Course

Suitable for beginners and qualified therapists alike, this course runs once a month for 15 months and leads to a qualification in Holistic Crystal Therapy.  The course can also be undertaken for pure personal pleasure, as completion of the written assignments and case studies for the qualification are completely optional.  Existing Crystal Therapists are also welcome to drop in to any of the sessions for CPPD purposes, and attendance certificates will be issued.

The course tutor is Liz Manison, who has many years experience working as a professional crystal and holistic therapist.  Relating to crystal therapy, she has the 2 year ACHO Diploma taught by Sue and Simon Lilly, an Advanced Crystal Healing Certificate taught by Dramis West, a VTCT qualification and a Melody Practitioner’s Certificate.  Relating to teaching experience, Liz has taught at Colleges of Further Education in Bristol and Cheltenham, and at several private holistic venues around the country.  She has a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (FE) and an NVQ Assessor’s Award.

The Certificate Course will cover the concepts and theories of crystal therapy and energy therapy, and train students in different techniques to use with clients that address the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ‘dis-ease’ and imbalance.  The aim of crystal therapy is to bring balance and harmony to the physical and subtle bodies.

The overview below show the schedule for each day of the 15 day course:

In addition to the subject areas outlined above, there will be class time set aside for general practical work, group discussion and 1-2-1 progress tutorials.  Shorter additional techniques will also be slotted in during each day alongside the main headings above.

Optional Study Requirements for the Qualification in Holistic Crystal Therapy:

Students will study crystal therapy theories and practical techniques, and will also need to set time aside to complete work in the following areas:

• Geology / Crystallography (studied via a distance learning package)
• Anatomy and Physiology (studied via a distance learning package)
• Course Journal (to be kept during the course to chart personal development and to reflect upon learning)

Assessment:

The requirements of the Certificate course are as follows:

• Completion of 15 short written assignments relating to crystal therapy
• Completion of case study treatments (5 different people, 5 treatments each)
• Completion of the Geology distance learning package
• Completion of the Anatomy and Physiology distance learning package

As the course is spread out over 15 months, there will be ample time to work on assignments and complete case studies etc.

On successful completion of the Certificate Course, you can choose to progress to the advanced Diploma Course.  More details on this course are available separately.

Course Dates:

Course Fee:      £65.00 per Day (£40.00 to existing holistic therapists looking to take sessions for CPPD purposes)

Crystal Therapy Diploma Course

The diploma Course is an advanced level of study, designed to explore not only crystals in more depth but also to expand awareness of other allied areas of holistic experience through the use of crystals.  Entry to the Diploma Course is conditional upon successful completion of the assessed work in Certificate Course.  

Existing Holistic Crystal Therapists will be able to join the Diploma Course from the start, but there may be an element of additional work to be completed to ensure all the requirements of the Certificate Course have been met.  However, any existing qualifications will give considerable Accredited Prior Learning (APL) exemptions from the majority of the work involved in the Certificate Course, and there will be no need to complete Case Studies for the Certificate Course, or the Anatomy and Physiology Component or potentially the Geology component.  

Any additional work will be supplied in the form of questions covering the relevant areas, and students may wish to attend the Certificate Sessions covering these areas at the discounted price (see separate details on the Certificate Course).

The schedule below gives a brief overview of the subjects to be covered on each day of the course:

Again, shorter techniques will be slotted in during each day alongside the main headings above.  The headings above are to give you an idea of what will be covered, but there will be more, for example, crystals and astrology, sacred geometry and kinesiology techniques.

The Diploma will be granted on successful completion of the following:

• 15 Written Assignments relating to the subjects and techniques covered in class time
• Case Studies – 5 separate clients, each treated 5 times, making a total of 25 treatments
• Evidence of a written journal charting your development and learning throughout the course
• Completion of a ‘Thesis’ (4000 words) on a subject allied to crystal work as agreed with your tutor
• Completion of 3 written assignments relating to different therapies

Again, there is no time limit or deadline to complete this work, and it is at your discretion how quickly and efficiently you manage your work load.  Please note that should there be any legal proceedings between you and a client in the time period before you gain your Diploma, and you have been found to be treating them with Year 2 techniques your Professional Insurance Policy may not cover you, so please do check with your Insurance Provider.

On gaining the Diploma, you will have earned 20 CPPD points under the FHT’s scheme.  Certificates of attendance can be given out for each session during the course in order to earn general CPPD points.
