Can anyone set themselves up as a naturopathic college?
A “naturopathic college” is like any other business anyone can start one. However, there are a few indicators of the nature of the college and the quality of the education. First to be Austudy and Abstudy approved the training facilities themselves must reach a certain standard (ie have desks, chairs, audio/visual equipment classrooms etc). Certification of the education standards of a course comes down to the various associations. Each association has a team or committee that approves courses. Students completing an association course are eligible for membership on graduation from that course. Refer to our education page and association pages for more information.
