Becoming an Naturopath ND

If you are a natural health practitioner with a 3-4 year Level 6 course qualification, then, once you have completed this course, you are well on your way to becoming a Naturopath ND. To become a Naturopath ND with us you will need to complete:

1. The 1 year Naturopathy course with a selection of Level 4/5 Natural Medicine Units.
2. Level 6 training plus 2 years in practice in either: Nutritional Therapy, Homeopathy, Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Medical Herbalism or Chiropractic Medicine.
3. Level 5 training in Nutritional Therapy unless your Level 6 training was in Nutrition, if so you complete a 1 year Herbal Medicine Course or Homeopathy.
4. Level 4 training in bodywork e.g: massage, Bowen technique, yoga etc. unless your Level 6 training was in bodywork (e.g. Osteopathy).

Graduates and therapists that meet the requirements as listed above are eligable use of the legend ND after their name.

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.
