Do we receive another more advanced Manual with the advanced course?
There won’t be a separate manual as such for the advanced course, but there will be printable notes in PDF format for each of the 6 lessons that will be supplied.
Could you please advise the break down of live blood vs dry blood?
The breakdown is approx. 50-50. We’ll cover case studies (these all contain both live & dry blood images), and a review of the mechanisms behind dry blood anomalies. Most of the course is focused on case examples from practice to highlight specific anomalies seen in complex cases, and case management.
So do you only have 12 weeks to complete? At the end of 12 week course what will you be able to do?

How long does each class last? Is there anyway for me to navigate around that time? I am at work during those hours?
The lesson lasts around an hour. We have attendees all over the world in different time frames who catch up with the recording afterwards
Is it possible to take the course and then be on my own to find a microscope that I am able to purchase?
You may take the training course and purchase your microscope later. We do suggest that you check with us that the microscope you choose is suitable for live blood analysis

I currently don’t have a practice, I do sell natural products, but I’ve never used a microscope, is this class catered to beginners in the field of nutritional microscopy? In the first weekly class video, I believe it say’s that through out the week it’s best to practice with samples, I’m not sure how I can without a microscope, but would that effect me? not having a microscope throughout the course of this class?
We often have attendees that start the course without a microscope and only get set up with a microscope during or after the course. We cover the practical aspects of blood analysis in the first week’s lesson, and the rest of the course will concentrate on the theory. Since the lessons are recorded you’ll be [...]
How much time do we have to complete the case study?
We allow for up to a year after your training course ends to submit case studies, but will also extend where necessary.
I’ve been going through the training site and have notice that the lessons don’t match with Lessons 1-12 indicated on the following links. I did receive your usb stick with the 500 page manual in it. Is this manual the what we will be working with??
The modules in the training site generally follow the 12 lessons, but not precisely. The weekly lessons were put together to run for an hour, so in some cases we had to include more or less of what was covered in the modules. For example lesson 3 covers some of the RBC anomalies, which is [...]
Do you need a special app or program to take the course and interact? Do you interact throughout the course with skype? Or another like program?
You don't need any app or programme to take the training course. We use GoToWebinar to present the course which allows us to use video and power point presentation to present the training course, this is similar to Skype but GoToWebinar allows us to record a copy of each lesson so students can repeat the [...]
