grades A*- C prior to enrolling with us. However, candidates with professional working experience may be granted an exemption at the discretion of the Academy. Consult with our Consultants to find out more.
Can I transfer credits from another college to your UK Certificate/Diploma programmes?
This would largely depend on the nature of the programme itself and what the other college had taught you. Contact us and our Course Consultants will guide you whether or not you are eligible for a credit transfer. The final decision is at the discretion of the Academy and the UK examination board.

Who are the instructors for the programmes?
Our team is comprised of individuals from different backgrounds with different knowledge and skills. Many of them are professionally experienced in either the mainstream medicine field or holistic health and wellness fields. Students will have access to invaluable information provided first-hand by these experts.
How is your Academy unique?
We have invested a lot of time, effort and finances into ensuring that our students obtain the best educational experience possible. Being a proponent for holistic approaches, we recognise that every learner is different and each learns best in their own way. Our educators are trained to identify these different learning needs to cater a more personalised experience.
Furthermore, our UK Certificate/Diploma programmes in the Natural Health Sciences have a practical element to them. We take this very seriously and strive to provide students with clinical training experiences with various medical centres, hospitals or clinics of different healing modalities (e.g. Modern conventional medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy etc.). This is aligned with our goal to promote integrative healing, in which it is patient-centric.
We also offer plenty of opportunities along the way for students to build a reputation in their desired field. Our team assists students to be industry-ready before they graduate.
Furthermore, we have recently launched our new Learning Management System (our student portal called STUDEX), which is accessible by students who enrol for certain programmes (e.g. Cert/Diploma Programmes, Education & Training programmes, ACCA/LCCI etc.).
What are the opportunities for me after completing the programmes?
There are plenty of opportunities available after completing the programme that you enrol for. Contact our office so that our Course Consultants can brief you. We have a dedicated Continuous Professional Development counsellor who will also be able to guide our students in the duration of their study with us.
Is your college accredited for the programmes?
Yes. We are officially registered in the UK as an accredited college offering Natural Health Sciences such as Diploma in Aromatherapy, Certificate in Diet & Nutrition, Diploma in Yoga Teaching, and the Cert/Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy.
We also have other programmes that are accredited by the UK Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) such as the Diploma in Education & Training, Diploma in Performance (by Trinity College London) and Diploma in Teaching (Speech & Drama) (by Trinity College London).
Some of our programmes listed here (non-health and wellness related) are offered by our sister organisation, Sphaeram Academy.
Can I pursue natural health programmes online, or are they only available on-campus?
Since the Covid-19 pandemic, digital transformation has been unavoidable. We too have embraced digitalisation in every way possible. This is the reason why we have invested a lot of our resources into establishing STUDEX, our online student portal and Learning Management System to enrich our students' learning experience with us.
Our modules can be accessed online through STUDEX whereby students can learn at their own time. Tutorials with lecturers will be held online via Zoom. These sessions are invaluable as lecturers will share stories and real-life examples, and answer questions in real-time.
However, as most of our Natural Health Sciences programmes have a practical module, it is recommended that students visit the campus on specific scheduled dates for practical training. The learning experience in the classroom where lecturers would impart the important techniques prove to be best done in person instead of through an online conference call. We highly recommend students to come in for practical training and utilise the opportunities that we offer for clinical training.
These trainings conducted in the medical centres, hospitals or clinics are important and beneficial as students will learn the best techniques to conduct a consultation session and learn from real-life cases from experienced medical doctors, nurses, therapists and physicians on the field.
