With NHI you receive courses that have proven themselves over thousands of students. They have been edited to include more of what students’ want, progress in a manner which leads a student logically from one section to another.

Self-study is not for everyone. It requires discipline and a true desire to master the subject. If, however, you are a highly motivated student you may find NHI courses particularly satisfying.

Since NHI offers programs costing on average $400.00 and taking approximately three months to complete, it is the most practical and economical means by which to engage a subject interest. With thousands of clients having taken these programs around the world, and then successfully transferring into one to the disciplines, NHI and its affiliates have proven to be of exceptional value to the general public in this regard. Here are some of the reasons students take an NHI program:

• For their own interests;
• To support a main stream diploma;
• To start their own business, or
• To obtain a view of the path that they will engage upon, in pursuing this type of career.
  

Each course has been designed and produced by qualified instructors specifically for self-study. The study material is clear and straightforward, progressing logically step by step to make learning as easy as possible.

All courses are periodically reviewed and updated, where necessary, to keep pace with the latest research and new subjects are added to the curriculum, from time to time. The school now has by far the widest range of self-study subjects in Natural Health Sciences available to students anywhere in the world.

Every course consists of individual lessons, each of which is self-contained and is also part of the whole course.

You will receive your course materials containing everything you need to begin your studies, including a study guide, which gives tips on how to study. Also in this initial package you will receive the lessons and a set of review questions.

Students answer the set of review questions at the end of each lesson. They then refer to the correct answers provided with each lesson to determine if they have a correct understanding of the material studied. Some courses include videotapes or audio tapes to assist students in the understanding of the material.

A recommended reading list is included to supplement and enhance the course material. Students should try to read as many books from the list as possible.

After all lessons are completed, the students who wish, may challenge the final exam. The final exam makes up 100% of the final mark. If the candidate passes the exam successfully they will be awarded a certificate or diploma. An official letter designating your achievement and rights in the use of the related designations will accompany your diploma or certificate.

Excessive delays in completing any or all portions of a course may result in the unavailability of the balance of the program, including final examinations.

*Courses may be changed, updated, or discontinued without notice.

NHI-Natural Health Instututes is recognized by the AHHA (American Holistic Health Association). See the American Holistic Health Accociation Web site.

In most cases, Alternative Health disciplines are not regulated by any recognized accreditation bodies. While there are a number of regional accreditation organizations that work within the guidelines of various health, insurance or government agencies, NHI does not keep a current database of these accrediting organizations. We will list any relevant association that requests it on our web site, but we will not endorse any one association.

There are international associates of NHI, located in Australia, South Africa, England, Europe, the United States and Mexico.

Students are encouraged to apply to appropriate government authorities for funding to draw attention to the fact that the exploding growth of the complementary health industry is creating a large demand for practitioners of complementary medicine. To see if any specific NHI course or diploma is recognized by a local or regional body, students must take the first step to identify the place of learning or association they wish to be accredited through, if applicable. Once that step is taken, NHI will be happy to liaison with that organization and provide course outlines to see if our lessons meet or exceed their requirements.

Natural Health Institutues is pleased to announce the development of a payment plan for our students!

You can now purchace your course(s) or diploma over a six month period. The initial payment is only 35% of the course or diploma cost, with the remainder spread over 5 months. Here is the breakdown of how it works:

Single Courses

• Financing charges - 10% over the base cost (ie: over email or print version)
• First payment - 35%
• Payments 2 - 6 split evenly.

Course Delivery

All course content except the last lesson and the questions and answers for that lesson are provided to you. The last lesson and Q&As will be provided when the final payment is made.

• Shipping (if applicable) for any subsequent course material (ie: final lessons) is sent COD to cover costs.
• No exam can be written until the final payment is made.
• There is no financing for exams.
• There is no penalty for early payment.

Diploma Courses

• Financing charges - 10% over the base cost (ie: over email or print version)
• First payment - 35%
• Payments 2 - 6 split evenly.

Diploma Course Delivery

The two required courses are sent out without the last lesson and matching Q&As. Once you have made two payments over and above the initial 35%, the 'last lesson' materials can be sent out for these two courses. At that time, the third and fourth (and fifth course if applicable) can be sent out, again, missing the final lessons in each. Upon completion of the 5th payment (5 of 6) you can request the missing 'last lesson' materials.

Upon completion of a given course within your diploma, you can write the exam, but you will not receive a certificate (if you choose that option) or transcript until the final payment is made. You can have your exam marks, but no exam is 'official' until the final payment is made.

• There is no financing for exams.
• Shipping (if applicable) for any subsequent course material (ie: final lessons) is sent COD to cover costs.
• There is no penalty for early payment.

The internet is quickly becoming a library of information. NHI maintains "Link" pages that contain articles that will be beneficial to the student.

We highly recommend that you spend time with your self-study program at the library and research a variety of different interests that may be associated to your discipline. Your local library will offer you a wealth of information and knowledge to assist you in your efforts at acquiring these skills.

Although NHI does not provide insurance for practitioners - we are aware of agencies that may be of some help for your business or practicing requirements.
