1 hour (credit) Online exam (multiple-choice questions)
In total, students will earn 22 credits in trace element therapy through Stage One and Stage Two and will receive a certificate for these stages.
Stage Three
This stage focuses entirely on student case study presentations.
After practicing for some time, each student will need to present one of their case studies in detail in front of the teacher and fellow students (the other two case studies will be submitted in writing).
Each student will have 10-15 minutes, including time for feedback from the teacher.
Each online class will last 3 hours, with the total number of classes depending on the number of students enrolled.
All three stages are recorded and made available to students for further self study.
All courses will be taught by Colleen O'Flaherty an official Oligotherapy Trainer on behalf of Centre de Recherches et D’Applications sur les Oligoelements, translations provided by Tammy Liu.
Certificate
After completing Stage One and Stage Two, students will be able to recommend trace element supplementation to clients.
After completing all three stages of the course, students will receive a certificate issued by the CRAO, Switzerland and gain the right to use the title Oligotherapist (Trace Element Therapy Practitioner).
Excitingly, this certificate is accredited by three prominent Swiss organizations:
ASCA Swiss Association of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
FPH – the organisation responsible for further training of specialist Pharmacists.
Association Suisse des Droguistes (stores that sell health, well-being and beauty products)
· SWISSMEDIC: Laboratoires Bioligo, the manufacturing section of Centre de Recherches et D’Applications sur les Oligoelements responsible for the production of all the trace element products included in the training, is registered with the exacting standards of SWISSMEDIC which is the Swiss organisation responsible for the authorisation and supervision of the manufacture and supply of all therapeutic products – natural, medical and pharmaceutical - ensuring all the trace element products used in the therapy are consistently high and excellent standard.

Words from Tammy Liu
Students will find this course to be highly valuable, cost-effective, and affordable, as it not only provides extensive knowledge and practical experience but also offers the rare opportunity to receive certificates recognized by three Swiss authoritative institutions.
The reason why we have set the tuition fee to be so accessible is:
First, students have always placed great trust and support in the courses offered by Master Jing’s Research Centre. We wish to express our gratitude by making the fee as affordable as possible, so more people can benefit.
Second, trace element knowledge is one of the cornerstones for naturopathic therapists. It completes our understanding of naturopathy, and I hope all students can gain this essential knowledge. To reduce the financial burden and allow more students to access this valuable learning, this approach is necessary.
After returning to China, I specifically flew to London to meet with Colleen and then travelled to Geneva, Switzerland for in-depth discussions with the CEO and chief instructor of the Centre de Recherches et D’Applications sur les Oligoelements I have complete trust in the firsthand information obtained from these meetings.
Additionally, we also distribute high-quality trace element products, which will provide students with more options for their case study practices and after completing the course, allowing them to apply their knowledge.
Once students complete the registration process, we will mail the course content and textbooks to them. Lastly, I wish everyone an enjoyable learning experience and great success!
