As more and more people choose Naturopath’s healthcare practitioners alongside conventional medical treatments, the public and medical professions are becoming more interested in the safe practice and efficacy of Naturopathy and Naturopathy therapies.

Are you thinking of undertaking a new training course?

The Maharashtra Naturopathy Council (MNC) is alarmed at the number of courses available throughout the  Naturopathy and Naturopathy therapy profession that may leave graduates without the qualification they expected. Before you enroll on any course, ask questions such as what accreditation is there for the course, and if you’re told a professional body has given accreditation, we’d suggest you also contact that body, and again ask relevant questions. We know of one course where its website says it has been approved by a certain association but that approval is no longer valid.


Be wary of courses where there are no direct contact hours. Webinars and e-learning aren’t the same as direct contact. Major insurance companies won’t provide cover for such courses. “We always advise our clients that we do not cover courses that are purely distance learning and if their course included any practical hours or if they went on to take a practical course, we ask for details and how they were deemed competent to practice. We check these on a case by case basis.” DSC-Strand say: “From an insurance perspective underwriters regard all Naturopathy therapies as a practical skill. In view of this it is a requirement that insurance applicants can demonstrate that their training undertaken includes mandatory practical elements to the course involving face to face interaction with a course tutor, as well as the theoretical elements.”
