Dear Sir,
I beg to differ about your views. The Diploma of Homeopathy from The School of Homeopathy is recognised throughout the world. The School is affiliated with The Society of Homeopaths the biggest registering body of Homeopaths in the UK. They offer distance learning for the first 2 or 3 years BUT you can only obtain the Diploma by attending the college.

The work is thorough and detailed and prepares you very well for practicing anywhere. The course includes Anatomy & Physiology, Pathology and Disease in addition to a sound grounding in Homeopathy, as well as enough Materia Medica to keep you busy for the rest of your life (!!)
I don't know where you got your information from, but the principal Misha Norland is a contemporary and friend of Rajan Sankaran (who you must of heard of)
I completed their Diploma in June 2001 and I know what I am talking about. As past editor of The Student Homeopath I am well aware of the colleges in the UK and the processes necessary to obtain a good qualification.
For your information, membership of The Society of Homeopaths allows reistered members to treat clients through company health insurance schemes such as HSA and Standard Life and can only be obtained if you have trained at a recognised college.

This is how well a Diploma from the school is viewed.
