Bach Centre-approved courses

As part of its work to teach and promote Dr Bach's simple system, the Bach Centre formally approves three levels of training.

• Level 1 courses teach the basics of the system including what each remedy is for and how to select and take remedies.
• Level 2 courses are designed to help you build your confidence and get a deeper understanding of the subtler aspects of using the remedies and of the philosophy underlying their use.
• Level 3 courses are for people who want to work professionally with the remedies. Level 3 deals with the philosophy of self-help and includes opportunities to enhance your consultation and listening skills as well as deal with any remaining doubts about how to use the remedies. We also approve a special 3-stage course for practitioners who want to work exclusively with animals. Once you have completed any approved level 3 course you are entitled to apply to join the Bach Foundation International Register of Practitioners.

All Bach Centre-approved courses meet a written, detailed set of approval criteria. This ensures that students reach the same level of understanding regardless of where in the world they take their courses.

Approved courses teach the original simple method laid down by Dr Bach. Applicants must complete an approved level 1 course before attending a level 2 course, and must complete an approved level 2 course before attending a level 3 course. Independent courses not approved by the Bach Centre sometimes include wrong or misleading information about the remedies, as do many books. For this reason we ask that all students follow all three levels of approved training, regardless of previous training and experience.

Any student on an approved course is eligible to apply for student registration with the Bach Centre, which can enhance your learning experience.

Other types of training

The Bach Centre promotes a range of open-access special interest courses, and individual BFRPs near you may offer informal training or simply teach the remedies as part of helping you select the ones you need. We can also offer half-day seminars at Mount Vernon to groups, societies and organisations.
