Feng Shui Distance Learning Training - Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Distance Learning course for you?
Please ask yourself the following questions before signing up to our Distance Learning Course:

• Do you have access to a computer and are familiar with using it?
• Do you have access to Email?
• Do you have a printer (see Course Materials and Resources below)?
• Are you self-motivated, happy working on your own and able to plan your work?
• Do you not mind how long it takes to complete the course?

If you answer "no" to any of these questions, you may be better suited to our Professional Feng Shui Consultant Attendance Course where you will be working, learning and interacting with other students. See Feng Shui Classes in London.

Software Required
The Distance Learning Courses have been designed to work on most systems, including MACs. To view all the material in the courses requires the following free software. Please check that you already have or can download the following before signing up for an Online Course.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• PowerPoint Viewer

Study Time
This course has been designed for students to be able to study in their own time and in a location of their choice. You may take as long as you like to complete each course, but generally, students do not complete each course in less than four months per course. There are many new concepts within the course that students find fascinating, but may take time to implement in their own homes. Obviously, the time it takes to complete each course depends upon how much time you have to invest in learning, but we have no time limit for students to complete the course; it is entirely up to you.  Here's a rough guide to how long each course will take.

Online Support
When you sign up for the complete Distance Learning Course you will receive free Email support from a qualified Feng Shui Practitioner/teacher.  Please note: we endeavour to answer all queries within 24 hours, although sometimes this is not possible, in which case we will get back to you as soon as possible. We also have a free Email forum that you can join and discuss Feng Shui with other students and tutors from around the world.  However, the test questions are not to be discussed and will not be allowed by the Moderator of the group.

Course Materials and Resources
All course materials and resources are included within each course. You may also print out the course for your own personal use.

Assignments
Each course contains several activities intended to serve as study aid/self-assessment mechanisms, as well as a number of questions that you will need to answer in you own words and return to us for marking.  Half of the course tests theory; the other half tests the practical applications.  Furthermore, the final unit in each course will introduce an assignment that will require independent work. You will need to show your workings/floor plans and are shown how to do this in the course. You can then Email your answers back to the school and receive individual feedback and guidance on your work. If you are successful, you may move up to the next Feng Shui course. If unsuccessful you will be shown the areas you need to restudy and resubmit your paper.

Feng Shui Professional Consultant Attendance Course Frequently Asked Questions

Is an attendance course for you?
Please ask yourself the following questions before signing up to our attendance course:

• Do you have one weekend per month for twelve months free to attend the school?
• Do you learn better face-to-face with a tutor and interacting with your fellow students?
• Do you have time between workshops to practice what you have learnt?

If you answer "no" to any of these questions, you may be better suited to our Professional Feng Shui Consultant Distance Learning courses that you can study at home in your own time, with no time limit.

Course Duration
The Professional Feng Shui Consultant course consists of twelve weekend workshops, conducted over a period of eleven months.  Please see workshop dates London

Please Note: All twelve workshops on the Professional Consultants Programme are required to be taken in order to qualify as a Feng Shui Consultant and receive professional accreditation from the Feng Shui Institute.

Course Fees and Payments
The Feng Shui Consultant course fee is £3300.00, made up an initial £300 non-refundable deposit, followed by twelve payments of £250.  Once we have received your deposit and you have been accepted onto the course, you may pay the balance of £3000 in its entirety or by twelve payments of £250.00 payable before the start of each workshop.  If you choose to pay by monthly installment, regular monthly payments must be maintained.  See our Early Bird Discount page for details of claiming up to 15% of the course fees.

Course Materials and Resources
You will be provided with workshop notes at each weekend. Please bring with you pens/pencils and a notepad (A4 is usually best).  Should you wish to practice feng shui professionally, we recommend you purchase a traditional Chinese compass.  There are also two reference books that you will find useful, details of which will be supplied nearer the time.

Studying
As well as set assignments each month, you will receive a number of Home Study questions to help you study and assimilate the key points within the course at a regular and steady pace.  Although we do not require you to return the Home Study answers to us, we strongly recommend that you spend time between workshops reading them.  Any questions you have can then be raised at the following workshop. We also require you to practice what you have learnt in class, firstly in your own home and then, as you become more confident and proficient, in the homes of friends, family or in a work setting. Your findings are then discussed at the next workshop.

Teaching Support
When you sign up for our Professional Feng Shui Consultant Training Course you will receive free Email support from a qualified Feng Shui Practitioner/teacher. However, our students are encouraged to ask questions and share experiences in a class setting as we believe all students benefit from this communication and interaction. 

Feng Shui School of Excellence Yahoo Group
As a student of the Feng Shui School of Excellence, you will also be entitled to join the Feng Shui School of Excellence Yahoo Group, where you, your fellow students, qualified consultants and previous attendees of the school can meet to discuss all things Feng Shui!

Feng Shui training for personal use
Some feng shui students just want to understand and use Feng Shui in their own home, not practice professionally and that's fine. If you would like to become a professional Feng Shui Consultant, registered with the Feng Shui Institute and charge for your services, you will need to attend all twelve workshops.

Professional Feng Shui Consultant Qualification
Upon completion of the course and in passing the final exam, you will become a qualified Feng Shui Consultant and entitled to use the letters RCFSI (Recommended Consultant Feng Shui Institute) after your name. In order to practice Feng Shui professionally, we recommend you purchase a traditional Chinese compass or Luo Pan, details of which are given during the course.

Refund, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
Course Deposit
Places on the course are strictly limited and available on a first come, first served basis.  To secure your place on the course, the school requires a £300 non-refundable deposit.  Should your deposit arrive too late to secure a place on the course, we will notify you that the course is full and your deposit will either be immediately refunded or held as a deposit for the next available course, whichever you prefer. 

Student cancellations prior to start of course
All cancellations must be made in writing by Email or by post. 
Please note: Course deposits are non-refundable, unless in the unlikely event that the school is unable to provide the course that was offered. 

Student Withdrawal
In the event of a student having enrolled and consequently withdrawing from the programme, course fees paid in advance will be refunded in full.  Upon arrival at the workshop, you will be given course notes for the entire workshop and therefore, no refunds will be given after arrival at the workshop because of sickness or any other cause.
