How long is the course? 

The TSCT Diploma in Crystal Therapy is taught part time over two years. 

There are six taught weekends in the first year and six more in the second year. Alternatively there is an option of studying this course on an Intensive basis attending two five day study weeks per year.   

Over the first year we cover the agreed ACHO core curriculum. On successful completion of the course components, you will be awarded a TSCT Certificate in Crystal Therapy enabling you to work as a qualified Crystal Therapist. The second year covers more advanced topics and successful completion leads to an award of the TSCT Diploma in Crystal Therapy.   

What happens if I can’t make a teaching weekend? 

If for an unavoidable reason a weekend is missed you are welcome to join the following group when they cover it. This will not cost you any extra. Alternatively you may pay  for my time on a one to one basis to catch up in Llandrindod Wells. You will still need to pay for the weekend missed at the time; posting a cheque is acceptable. The award of TSCT Certificate and/or TSCT Diploma cannot be made until all parts of the course have been attended and paid for.   

Where are the courses held? 

The venue for the weekend courses is the Miracles Room at the Glastonbury Experience Courtyard, Glastonbury. Intensives and one to one tuition are available in the Victorian Spa Town of Llandrindod Wells in Mid-Wales. 

How much does each weekend cost? 

Tuition fees are £140 per taught weekend in Glastonbury unless the student chooses to pay for a whole year’s tuition up front, when the overall cost is £750. Students who opt to pay per weekend are obliged to sign a Pay-As-You-Go agreement as the entire course fees for the year are payable whether a student attends or not. Intensive Course fees are £400 per week learning in a group, or £600 per week on a one to one basis. The £50 booking deposit holds your place and is deducted from the final weekend or final week of the first year course.

How much homework is there? 

In the first year of the course you are required to complete six homework modules, plus modules on Health and Safety and Customer Care. These are designed to check your level of knowledge and understanding and they cover the core curriculum requirements of ACHO.   You will be keeping a Personal Development Journal throughout your course and will need to provide photocopied excerpts as evidence.   

You are required to produce evidence that you have been practising your skills in the form of written case studies. You will complete treatments for five different people at least three times each for the Certificate and the same number again for the Diploma. You are strongly encouraged to obtain student insurance when you start your case studies.  

In the second year you will explore an aspect of Crystal Therapy of your choice and present your findings in the form of a thesis. This is shorter and more flexible than an academic thesis and may be taped or videotaped rather than written as appropriate. You will also have homework booklets based on the areas of learning covered over the six weekends and will present your diary extracts as before and your additional case studies.   

Do I need prior knowledge of crystals or healing? 

No, the course starts with the basics and builds up from there. No prior knowledge is expected, however any knowledge of crystals that you do have will be useful to you. All I expect is a genuine desire to help people through healing, an interest in the crystals and a willingness to learn.   

You will need to provide evidence of Anatomy and Physiology (A & P). Medically qualified students, those with ‘O’ level, GCSE or ‘A’ level Human Biology and those who have already studied an A & P course and can provide evidence will not need to pursue further study. If you have not fulfilled the A&P requirements then you have a choice of enrolling on any A & P course set to at least a Level Two, or completing A&P through a home study course.   You do not need to have completed this until you are ready to present all of your coursework for your TSCT Certificate.
