The Licence course leads on from the Diploma course. It is for students who have a particular interest in gemmotherapy, and who want to take their training to an advanced level.

A large proportion choose to continue because of the support and help they get in their own practice.

There is extra time for experience and further study. Lessons in gemmotherapy and related subjects continue. We include a module on practitioner development
