Level 3 courses

Who is the course for?

Level 3 courses focus on consultations skills and the work of professional Bach practitioners. As such they are aimed at people who want to work professionally with the remedies.

Level 3 is also open to non-professionals who want to join the Bach Foundation International Register, or simply want to improve their consultation skills.

Level 3 applicants must complete Bach Centre-approved level 1 and level 2 courses before attending level 3.

Level 3 structure

All level 3s include periods of classroom teaching and periods of private study done in the student's own time. Students have to complete written work that may include an exam, a reflective journal and essays.

The main assessment is by means of written case studies which are assessed by the Bach Centre or by individuals appointed by the Centre for this purpose.

Level 3 and practitioner registration

On satisfactory completion of a level 3 course students may apply for inclusion on the Bach Foundation International Register of Practitioners, which is maintained by the Centre.

Registration is conditional on the applicant's agreeing to respect the completeness and simplicity of Dr Bach's system and work under the Bach Foundation Code of Practice. In particular, registered practitioners undertake only to select remedies using the simple consultation methods used by Dr Bach, and to present the 38 remedies as a complete system.

Completing level 3 is a prerequisite for registration. However, registration and the issue of the accompanying Certificate are entirely at the Bach Centre's discretion.
