Description
The Iconic Health Academy Bachelor of Naturopathy is designed to be completed over 3 years; it is offered in a full time format, which is delivered over 18 months (2 modules per month), and a part time format, which is delivered over 36 months (1 module per month).
This Upgrade programme (Refresher model) is available to eligible practitioners holding an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, (or equivalent), seeking to upgrade to a Bachelor level of Naturopathy, and grants up to 75% of the modules, on the basis of Recognition of Prior Learning.
In this option, students are offered a refresher style adult learning experience, and will be provided with narrated sessions, (usually 12 sessions per module), and formal assessment, for 27 of the 36 modules. These 27 modules, if passed, will be awarded on the basis of ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ (RPL), and will need to be passed, after a maximum of 2 attempts. In the event that a candidate fails the second attempt, the candidate will need to complete the full module, and pay the difference, of £150 (per module).
The 9 compulsory modules for the Bachelor of Naturopathy Upgrade programme are:
- Biochemistry for Naturopaths ONLINE
- Critical Thinking in Contemporary Healthcare 1 ONLINE
- Critical Thinking in Contemporary Healthcare 2 ONLINE
- Herbal Medicine 3 ONLINE
- Herbal Medicine 4 ONLINE

Please refer to the Bachelor of Naturopathy, Rules of Progression (part time), for the delivery sequence, and the identification of the other 27 modules.
This part time payment plan option is designed for students who would like to stagger their payments, for maximum financial flexibility. The monthly fee will be charged for 36 months.
- A non-refundable application fee will be deducted when you apply to enrol; you will be advised of the outcome, or the need for further information required to process your application, within 5 business days.
- Your term will start on the 1st of March, the 1st of June, the 1st of September or the 1st of December.
- On this date, your first payment will be deducted and you will be able to access your first module.
- Once your term has started, 1 new module will be made available on the first of every following month, until all 36 modules have been delivered.
- Your second payment will be deducted on the 1st of the month, 1 month after you have started your term.
- Thirty four further payments will be deducted on the 1st of every month thereafter, until the payment plan has been completed.
Although you will have access to the modules in accordance with the published delivery sequence for the course, you will be required to pass each pair of modules, before advancing to the next pair.
Please note, we normally permit 6 years to complete a Bachelor level course, but in the case of upgrades, where up to 75% of the course is being granted, based on Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), we permit 3 years to complete. As this course will be delivered over 36 months, we will permit an additional 6 months, in order to complete the compulsory modules, including the Exit Exam.
This payment plan will not increase for the duration of your payment plan, as long as your regular payments are maintained. If your payments are not met as and when due, delivery of the monthly modules would be impacted, and your payment plan would revert to the current fee structure.
Students are required to complete all payments of their chosen payment plan before they are eligible to graduate.
