About our Accredited Colour Therapy Courses



Colour and Light therapy is one of the fastest growing areas of complementary health. It is a subtle but powerful therapy which is entirely safe and suitable for young and old alike, as well as for animals.

Our Colour Therapy home study courses train you to become a professional colour therapist or specialist expert in one of the many areas of Colour Therapy. They are set out in easy to follow steps with lots of practical tasks for you to try out so that you become confident working with other people. Our courses are monitored by continuous assessment with flexible submission dates and you will receive feedback and personal advice from our principal Suzy Chiazzari herself.

For your peace of mind our school is a UK Registered Learning Provider (UKRLP 10013954) and is an accredited Colour Therapy training centre with the International Wheel of Colour (IWOC) that monitors standards in this specialist field.

Each Colour Therapy home study course is complete in itself providing the necessary information and practical applications so that on completion a student can work confidently in a specific area of colour healing. They are also designed to compliment and extend other areas of study in crystal Healing, Light Therapy, Colour psychology and Counselling. Normally a course takes 1 year to complete studying at your own pace at home but you can fast track to 6 months if you have more study time.

To find out more about each Diploma course, click on the course title in the left hand menu listed under HOME STUDY COURSES. Please note that if you live in the EURO zone, our courses are now really good value as the pound has declined. If you would like to study for self-development or reference purposes we offer most of our email courses at a reduced rate if you do not want tutoring or a qualification.


Why is colour important to our health?



Light is energy, and to be healthy we need a balance of colour vibrations in our system. The different light affect and control all our primary functions including our growth and sleep patterns, our nervous and immune function as well as our sexual behaviour, appetite and digestion. Colour also affects our moods and mental state. Some colours are depressing while others are uplifting while certain colours stimulate the mind and others sedate us. By studying colour therapy you learn about the specific qualities and actions of the different colours and how they can be used to alleviate both physical and mental illness. You will also discover the mood-enhancing properties of colour which can be used to aid stress and generally improve your quality of life.
