Questions

• What qualifications do I need to join the Faculty of Homeopathy?
  You must be a statutorily registrable healthcare professional. If you live outside the UK you must hold qualifications which are registrable with the relevant professional body in your country/legislature/jurisdiction. Student membership is open to undergraduates on courses leading to certain professional qualifications. For more information please visit our membership section.

• Where can I get information about Faculty of Homeopathy exams?
  For exam dates and deadlines for applications please visit the exams section of this website or contact the Membership & Education Officer education@archive.facultyofhomeopathy.org Monday to Friday.
• If I get Faculty qualifications can I practice as a homeopath?
  The Faculty of Homeopathy’s qualifications are for statutorily registrable healthcare professionals. Faculty members integrate homeopathy with their conventional healthcare practice. Non-healthcare professionals may contact other homeopathic registers of their choice/geography. If you want to practise homeopathy and you are not a statutorily registered healthcare professional contact the Society of Homeopaths or the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths.
• Can I do your exams without Faculty-accredited training?
  We advise you to complete Faculty-accredited training before attempting the exams. However, if you feel you have equivalent experience and would like to take an exam without training or apply for a qualification without examination, apply directly to the Membership & Education Officer education@archive.facultyofhomeopathy.org Monday to Friday.

• What is Associate membership?
  Associate membership is open to all statutorily registrable healthcare professionals and is not a qualification. Members who have achieved a basic level of training in homeopathy hold the LFHom. Holders of the MFHom and FFHom are the most experienced Faculty members who have completed an advanced level of training. Some MFHom and FFHom members are also members of the Specialist Register. Faculty qualifications are only valid if the holder of the qualification maintains their Faculty membership. Other qualifications may be accepted at Affiliate level e.g. BHMS and DHMS.
