Our training programme

We are excited to announce that we are in the process of developing a comprehensive training course aligned with both SAQA and AHPCSA standards and requirements, currently pending accreditation. This dynamic course is designed to provide students with essential knowledge and practical skills to effectively engage in medical missionary work under the guidance of qualified healthcare professionals, such as physicians and nurses.

Beyond foundational training in natural health practices, our course emphasizes holistic personal development, covering critical aspects of spiritual growth and interpersonal relationships. Additionally, students will gain valuable experience in managing a health food kitchen, further enhancing their practical capabilities in promoting wellness and service to others.

Understanding the constraints of modern life, we have designed our curriculum to be flexible and accessible. Our training consists of online, self-paced learning complemented by in-person practical assessments. This format allows individuals to pursue their education without the need for extended absences from work or family.

The main course consists of four standalone sub-courses which must be completed in order within a period of two years. As the learning is self-paced, it is possible to complete the course in a shorter period. At completion of all four sub-courses and their practical components, students will receive an accredited Occupational Certificate in Natural Healing, which will enable them to:

  • Register with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa as a therapy assistant (compulsory).
  • Provide relevant information and guidance with regards to natural health principles.
  • Prepare basic herbal remedies and poultices, as well as assist in performing hydrotherapy and therapeutic massage treamtents under the supervision of a qualified physician or nurse.
  • Share the Gospel by following Christ’s method, having a foundational understanding of the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, and understanding the Laodicean Message.
  • Manage a health food kitchen and prepare plant-based meals.

A basic outline of our course is available below. Please note that titles and content may change as the course is finalised.
