Course Aims
Hope College of Crystal Healing provides a high standard of training and is dedicated to the study of crystal energy and its influence on the human body. Through research and experimentation this course encourages students to explore their own relationship with crystals in order to truly appreciate the healing potential of the mineral kingdom. By tapping into each of their senses and developing their awareness, the aim is that learners will gain the skills, knowledge and insight to guide and support their physical, emotional, spiritual and professional development as fully qualified Crystal Practitioners. Individual needs of all students are fully supported and lessons aim to be friendly and enjoyable for everyone.
Assessment criteria
No prior knowledge of crystals is required and individual progress is supported and monitored through continuous assessment. In order for students to qualify they must attend all twenty-four training sessions and demonstrate their competence as a therapist. In addition, students are required to produce a portfolio of work containing:
- Completed skill sheets (units 1 –18) covering the core curriculum
- Four book reviews
- Copies of twenty journal entries evidencing their work with crystals
- Rationales for two creative projects
- Five case studies per year

* Some students may have completed Anatomy and Physiology training previously and are asked to produce a copy of their certificate for their portfolio. For those who have not studied Anatomy and Physiology, a home study course can be provided for an additional £50. Details of this and other options will be given on the first day of the course.
Course Fees
The cost of the 2 years training is £1400 (2017 price) but this may vary depending on location. A non-refundable deposit of £200 is required to secure your place then the remaining fees can be paid in monthly installments.
Enrolment Form
If you would like more information or require an enrolment form for the Diploma course, then please email sandra@hope-college.co.uk and one can be emailed or posted out to you.
Certificate Course
Rather than commit to two years of training some students prefer to enrol on the one-year Certificate Course which covers exactly the same syllabus as the first year of the Diploma Course. By taking this route, if at a later date students decide to continue with their studies they can apply to do a further 12 months training which will enable them to achieve the Diploma.
