CBD is a single compound in the Cannabis plant, from the Cannabaceae family of plants. Cannabis produces many naturally occurring compounds, including CBD.
When we consume activated cannabinoids, we can experience the therapeutic benefits of the Cannabis plant. Both CBD and THC cannabinoids, as well as the other cannabinoids found within Cannabis, assist the body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and can contribute to greater health. These cannabinoids can be leveraged separately, or together, helping individuals improve their wellness.
Intended Audience
This course deals exclusively with CBD, the non-psychoactive Cannabinoid in Cannabis. CBD in a low dose does not require a script and can be obtained in health stores. It is often used by healthcare providers who do not want to enter the minefield of prescribing a schedule 6 substance i.e. medical Cannabis.
It is a comprehensive course for medical professionals, CBD-curious consumers, Cannabis consultants and Cannabis industry professionals and will take approximately 20-25 hours to complete.
Purpose
This course has been designed to walk you through the fundamentals of CBD and how using the science and research of this natural medicine can possibly improve your health and wellness. This course will certify you to confidently prescribe CBD to your patients who suffer from acute and chronic pain, anxiety and depression amongst other symptoms (also see syllabus module 9 – CBD for specific ailments).
Desired Tone
The course takes a conversational yet professional approach to articulate the science of the plant. While the course encourages the perpetuation of Cannabis research, accuracy and is up-to-date, the content is free from bias.
Accreditation
This course is accredited with the HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa) for 20 CPD points. The accreditation is valid until end-2024!

Neurodiversity refers to ’the diversity of human minds' (Judith Singer, 1990). Neurodivergence refers to an individual whose neurodevelopment takes place along a different trajectory.
Neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)as well as Specific Learning Challenges and Developmental Co-ordination Disorder, are often manifest as behavioural problems at home or in the classroom. However, conventional medical curriculums don’t devote much attention to the mental health of children & adolescents.
These conditions present at an early age and can have a significant impact on an individual throughout their lifetime. Early recognition, education and appropriate intervention may prevent psychopathology later in life and ensure affected individuals achieve their unique potential. Fortunately, there is a rapidly evolving awareness globally of the scale at which psychoeducation is required not only for medical professionals and educators, but also for parents and individuals themselves.
These courses are for everyone and anyone who may have to deal with children and adolescents who have – or may have – one of Neurodevelopmental conditions. The courses are particularly suitable for General Practitioners, Paediatricians, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Physiotherapists and other healthcare providers.

Recent advances in nutritional and ageing science at cellular and systems level have given real hope for increasing healthspan and lifespan in humans. By reducing the impact of age-related degenerative diseases and simultaneously delaying cellular senescence, significant increases in healthy longevity are possible. Blue Zone diets and breakthrough supplements will be described and their impact on reducing age related muscle and bone loss examined. The inhibition of age-related glycation and the effects of fasting will also be explored with respect to their theoretical and evidenced ability to slow ageing in humans.

Our dreams may offer valuable information at the deepest levels of our personalities and the manner in which we live out our humanity. Understanding the images of our dreams could increase our self-awareness and awareness of the world around us. Dreams can be seen as a pathway to heightened consciousness, wisdom and an expanded sense of self.
Dreams are the gateway to the unconscious and can assist to uncover underlying issues through a tracking of themes and patterns presented in the images. Dream work offers a deep insight into internal conflicts, identify barriers to healing and growth, as well as possible solutions. As a therapeutic tool this can be invaluable. This course is aimed at training professionals in working therapeutically with dreams and other altered states of consciousness.
