Education level
Over the years we have worked with many accreditation associations and awarding bodies.

Naturopath's ND should be at the required level to apply to join a Naturopathic Register either in the UK or abroad should you wish to. In the UK if you do not wish to become a registered Naturopath, you can legally practice without registration.
A register is a published list of Naturopaths who work to a set educational standard and established code of ethics. Potential patients seeking a Naturopathic practitioner trained to a high standard, can access a Register to find someone in their area.
Please note that completion of our International programme does not always confer an automatic license to practice in your country - it is wise to review the official recognition policies of your own country before setting up in practice.
