Classical Homoeopathy
“ Similia Similibus Curentur” “Let likes be treated by likes”
“…Homoeopathy considers the man as a whole, not just his
individual parts…
….Homoeopathy offers a gentle way towards health of the entire
individual. ”
Principles and Art of Cure by Dr. H Roberts M.D
Our Aims
We aim to produce competent, confident, caring Homoeopaths who
will be an asset to the profession.
We aim to provide students with a solid foundation, based on
therapeutic principles, incorporated with modern concepts.
This enables students to evaluate and develop their own
clinical procedures.
Professional Three Year Course Structure
|
This consists of 12 weekends a year with additional 4
integrated learning days with international students at the
Summer School and 4 Tutorials each year. Allen College
provides clinical training as an integral part of the course.
From the very beginning students are exposed to the practical
aspects of prescribing and participate in a clinical
environment with patients in the Allen Teaching Clinic. Home
assignments are given to complement the classroom learning.
Students are encouraged to reflect in a personal diary, these
entries can be discussed with a personal tutor. All students
are given individual support and constructive feedback
throughout the course. To enhance individual’s development the
research component of the course is studied jointly in a group
and presented to other year groups.
|
 |
Course structure:
Approximately total contact time of 200 hours per year (600
hours of Teaching and Clinical training over 3 years) = 3
years course will be:
12 week-ends a year = 24 days = 150 hours (approx.); PLUS
4 days of Intensive Summer School Programme during June,
every year & 4 days of Intensive Winter Tutorial Programme
during Nov to March, every year = 8 days = 50 hours of
contact teaching.
Therefore 150 hours + 50 hours = Total contact teaching time
= 200 hours per year.
PLUS, 5 -6 days of Clinical Training in a year = Approx. 45
Clinical hours per Year = Total 135 hours of Clinical hours
in 3 years (Clinic in the U.K with Live Cases to be
video-linked from “Allen Teaching Clinic”);
All dates for the entire academic year (teaching &
clinic) are provided in advance, on registration for your
planning.
The 3 year course is designed to ensure confident, competent
professionals who are eligible to practice and can join a
professional register.
|
Short Course
The first year is also for students who wish to use
homoeopathy on their friends and family only. These initial
modules will enable the student to grasp the essential
information of some first aid medicine and introduce the
concepts of homoeopathic thinking and how to arrive at the
remedy choice.
Video-linked Course (direct from class room)
Both of the above courses are also available as video linked
learning direct from the class room, for international
students and long distance U.K students.
Professional Practice
Homoeopathy has a long and successful history and is a primary
source of medical care for millions of people on a global
scale. There are ample opportunities for qualified
professional homoeopaths to practice with homoeopathy being
cited as the most popular form of complementary medicine. |

Welcoming Prospective

College
Principal
Welcome to the world of complementary medicine in general and
homoeopathy in particular. Homoeopathy uses remedies from a
range of natural sources to heal the whole person and as such,
it is both a rational healing art and the very safest form of
medicine.
Throughout my international lecturing career, I have had the
privilege of observing many different homoeopathic colleges in
various parts of the world, and it was through my knowledge of
such establishments that I discovered a very real need for the
implementation of Classical Homoeopathic teaching. By this I
mean a study of the old Masters upon which the foundation of
Homoeopathy rests, integrated with modern therapeutic
thoughts. The principles and laws discovered by these Masters
are time-tested – The Law of Similia (let likes be treated by
likes) is an ideology originally conceived by Hippocrates, the
father of medicine, and later implemented by Dr. Samuel
Hahnemann, the founder of Homoeopathy; the Law of Simplex
(applying medicines in a simple and single form) and the Law
of Minimum (whereby the minutest conceivable dose is given in
order to avert side effects and drug dependency). These are
the Laws to which Classical Homoeopaths adhere even in the
21st Century and are the basis upon which the Allen College of
Homoeopathy has been founded. Our teaching provides a balanced
incorporation of these classical time-tested doctrines
together with current Homoeo-therapeutic practices and pays
particular emphasis to the clinical and applied aspects of
Homoeopathy in order that our students are equipped with
knowledge to practise well. |
|
I am a
fourth generation Homoeopath and it gives me immense pleasure
and satisfaction to bring this rich legacy of knowledge
together with over 100 years of my family’s clinical
experience, to our students at Allen College. Homoeopathy
offers a professional career and a motivation to promote
nature’s own law of healing. I welcome you to study this
science and art of healing with us at the Allen College of
Homoeopathy.
Long live Hahnemann! Long live Homoeopathy!

Vice Principal
I first came to Homoeopathy in 1981 and ever since this gentle
method of healing has been my passion.
My involvement with Homoeopathic practice and teaching
Homoeopathy commenced ten years later when I began my career
as a Homoeopath, having completed several years of training
and post graduate study. I have since realised, that a career
in Homoeopathy is hugely rewarding, and indeed a privilege.
My teaching role at the Allen College concentrates primarily
on Homoeopathic philosophy. I also have a particular interest
in the growth and development of our students during the
course and this enables me to directly oversee and facilitate
many of the practitioners skills sessions.
The Allen College of Homoeopathy evaluates the education it
provides on a continuous basis. Another role in this is to
provide the link between the College and the current situation
regarding academic and clinical requirements for professional
homoeopathy. I am thereby able to make a valid contribution to
the ongoing work of setting the standards for Homoeopathic
education. |
 |
|
If the
possibility of becoming a member of a profession which is
forward looking, fulfilling and exciting is something you are
seeking, then I welcome you.
The Allen College provides high quality education and the
opportunity for personal development, with accessible fees,
and as a student you will play an important part in the
college, its growth and reputation. You will engage with a
group of likeminded people who will support and join you in
your metamorphosis from student to practitioner.
I look forward to meeting and working with you.
Yours in Health, Naturally,

Clinical Training |
|
| |
 |
Our
college has a well established ‘Student’s Clinic’, which
offers essential clinical training facilities – theory learnt
in the classroom is reinforced in a practical way ensuring
confidence in applying theory into practice. We are orientated
towards this practical method of training and give paramount
emphasis on practical experiences for our students. We are
proud of the quality of our clinical training and our success
at developing professional practitioners. The clinics are
integrated into the course and there is no additional cost for
this facility.
‘I just love the clinic days, consulting with the patients
make the course meaningful and bring everything alive’ 3rd
Year student. |

Clinical Training Programme:
1. Initially students observe case-taking in the Allen
Clinic
2. Students then progress to participating in case
analysis and prescribing.
3. Eventually our students are able to be active in
case-taking, prescribing and case management under the
supervision of our
clinical director.
Our clinics are enjoyable and inspiring. Students have a
consistent exposure to live patients and will fully
participate in their treatment.
We provide many opportunities for clinical discussion and
clinical and comparative Materia Medica with remedy
differentiation throughout the course.
Our students witness at first hand the changes that occur for
patients in the college clinic which gives them immense
confidence to practice. Experience has shown us that students
begin their patient base and reputation in the second year of
the course when they begin their own consultations with
patients under constructive supervision.
Students graduate with a wide variety of supervised clinical
experience; this in turn equips our students with a solid
foundation of essential skills needed to become excellent
homoeopaths who will be able to set up their own successful
practices. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Student Support System
We provide comprehensive supervision and tutorials.
Our students support each other, they are supported by tutors and
mentors and when necessary we do provide one-to-one tuition.
Our group sizes mean we can dedicate a lot of time and support to
each student within the class.
Each student develops at their own pace and Allen College embraces
this individuality by encouragement.
‘It is so good to be in an environment when no one is ever
criticized, only encouraged. The lecturer said ‘…if you don’t
understand the first or second time I will go over it until you are
satisfied, that is why I am here….’ 2nd Year student |
