Terms of Enrolment
- The maximum duration is one year for the practitioner courses; two years for the advanced practitioner in holistic counselling; two years for the advanced practitioner in complementary Therapies and two and a half years for the advanced practitioner in Spiritual Counselling.
- The short courses have a minimum duration of 2 weeks – the maximum duration is open (if you are enrolled in a short course only), for as long as Natural Energies College and the short courses are operational.
Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Courses:- - Students may move their course commencement date up to two months from the date of enrolment.
- Students are asked to submit work on a monthly basis for their enrolment to stay active. This is designed to keep students motivated and on track to completing their course. If a student cannot submit work for a particular month, then all they need to do is notify the college via email so that their enrolment is kept active (notification must be received prior to or during the month in question. The student does not need to supply a reason for not submitting work). It will be up to the student to catch up in subsequent months, as their course completion date will remain the same. If a student falls considerably behind, then the college may place stipulations on the student’s enrolment that must be met for the student to remain enrolled. Students may submit up to a maximum of 6 activities per month (for advanced practitioner students) and 5 per month (for practitioner students). If a student does not notify us that they are unable to submit work for a particular month, then their enrolment may be deactivated. A $65 fee is required to reinstate their enrolment. (Student’s are permitted only one reinstatement, and this is at the discretion of the college).
- If a student requires more time to complete their course, they may request to defer or extend their course. To defer or extend their course, they will need to make a request to us in writing before the expiration of their course. Natural Energies College may either approve or reject an application for deferral at its absolute discretion. If a deferral application is approved, Natural Energies College may, at its absolute discretion and without limitation, extend the duration of the student’s course subject to any conditions including as to duration of any deferral or extension, the terms of reinstatement/extension, including payment of reinstatement fees or monthly extension fees.
