Core Modules are those units of study that are a mandatory part of all the courses offered at the College.   They aim to ensure that you have an excellent understanding and practical experience of the basic underpinnings of knowledge of anatomy and physiology, massage, business practices, communication skills, nutrition, first aid, and the safe use of essential oils and how to use them in your practice, or at home. 

These modules are practical, and taught by expert practitioners in their field.  The College of Natural Therapies does not offer distance education. We believe that face to face teaching with great teachers is the best way for you to learn, particularly with the sometimes involved terminology of some subjects such as anatomy and physiology.

The study of natural therapy practices is possible only with a full and deep understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the human body, the science of the living organism.

Your journey of discovery will teach you about the structure and systems of the body.  You will be pleasantly surprised at how a traditionally complicated and difficult subject is presented and taught.  How much you will learn will surprise you.

These courses can be studied as electives for Certificate IV and Diploma level qualifications or just as general interest courses. Electives may vary depending on the level and type of qualification and some may have pre requisites please refer to the appropriate outline page. You have the most comprehensive choices of any College in NSW outside Sydney so enjoy putting your interests together to form a great study path to your goal of being a natural therapist!

Every year from the beginning of the second week in January to the end of the first week in February, we have the three weeks of our Summer School.

Here we offer introductory courses in aromatherapy, therapeutic massage, nutrition, reflexology, colour and crystal energies, natural therapies and children, aromatherapy for pregnancy and birth, and many more.

Attendance at these relaxed classes may be for general interest and gaining knowledge and skills in a particular area to apply to yourself and your family, You will have fun and meet new people with similar interests who may also become your friends!

We also include a series of personal enrichment classes a little similar to our core module, Personal Development, called All About Me!!  This course is lots of fun, will give you many insights and tools to apply in you own life. We also address the spiritual aspects of the journey we all take on this plane of being and look at some of the amazing teachings of the philosophers and wise elders who have gone before us.
