Each day more people search the web for color therapy home study courses. But without guidance how do you know which course is right for you? Where do you begin, and what are the pros and cons of color therapy home study courses overall?
Let’s begin, I’ll assume you’ve already decided you want to study color therapy at home, and this is about how to choose the right kind of course and delivery method for you.
*** Training Levels: Personal or Practitioner
Before we discuss delivery methods, we should consider the level of learning you want to experience. Are you seeking color therapy education for personal use? Because if you are, it increases your choices. Alternatively, if you want to train as a color therapy practitioner, the decision making process becomes more involved because you need to consider whether the course is accredited, whether you’ll get certified – and if so, by whom? Color Therapy is still a self regulated profession and not all color therapy training is created equal. More about that later…
*** Practical or Theoretical
Let’s assume you want to study color therapy at home for personal use and enjoyment. When you are reviewing a home study course, you need to consider the training offered, is it all theoretical? Will you get reading materials and be expected to simply digest the information?
A so-called ‘self-paced’ home study course might work for some, but think of this: if a book of information was all it took to be smart, then why are libraries unpopular, and why do people languish with so many self-help products? Simple really, learning is a participatory activity.
A professional educator, trainer or teacher will tell you “doing” helps reinforce learning. Reading provides limited retention of the subject matter, whereas a home study course encouraging participation ensures a higher, and more satisfactory level of learning.
