College of Naturopathic Medicine Opiniones 

Financially Ruthless . Please be warned. After showing initial interest to this company I was aggressively marketed and phoned on multiple occasions inviting me to apply to join the foundation bio science course for Nutrition. Eventually I succumbed and paid the year fees up front to get a reduction. Unexpected within the first 6 weeks I had a change of circumstances and could not continue and was unlikely to in the foreseeable future. . I asked them for a refund but they would not agree and refused to answer my emails. They blocked access to all materials and held on to 3 k . In desperation I asked to defer which they agreed too. I have never been able to complete this course and I consider them to be ruthless considering my circumstances when they refused even a partial refund. Please be aware they ARE aggressive . On no account pay fees in advance . I cannot warn people enough . I think legally they were strictly speaking entitled to keep the money but morally they did nothing for the 3 k and are absolutely disgusting . They are also exempt from complaint under the university rules as a private outfit.

The course set up is a great way to learn if you are working and need to fit your study into your working schedule . I felt that some parts of the course needed updating eg: the Fitness & Exercise module and the Marketing & Business modules . The organisation was some times lacking , for example , several of the live tutorials and case study tutorials either did not happen , or many of the students did not receive the link , this was rather frustrating and there was confusion over whether the lecturer was allowed to record the session or not , which meant some did not get recorded . For me the coaching module was by far the most useful and interesting and i really enjoyed the coaching case studies .

I can highly recommend CNM's Health Coach Diploma Course, having just completed this qualification and feeling very pleased.
The course is delivered in a way that makes it interesting and helps you to learn things. The course director was very supportive when I ran into problems in my personal life and wasn't sure I'd be able to complete the course. All the tutors are knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic.
I feel as if I've learned so much by completing this course and am looking forward to using my knowledge to help others.

As a second-year student at CNM, I can confidently say that this college offers an outstanding education in naturopathy. Having completed the Biomed course online, I was thoroughly impressed with the depth and quality of the material. My first year was particularly engaging, with a strong focus on human body systems and common pathologies. One of the highlights for me was Bobby Qureshi’s online lectures. He has a great teaching style—clear, concise, and packed with valuable information. The lectures are easy to follow, and they come with slides that you can print and annotate, which is super helpful for studying.

I already hold a bachelor's degree in business management, but I can honestly say that my three years at university didn’t offer me nearly as much practical, insightful knowledge as my first year at CNM. In terms of value for money, CNM far exceeds traditional universities. It’s not just theory, it’s preparing you for real-world practice. My time in university left me in debt and with less practical knowledge, while at CNM I feel like I’m genuinely being equipped to help people as a naturopath.

Recently, I had the chance to visit the London campus and observe a naturopathic consultation, which was an amazing experience. It gave me a glimpse into the practical side of the profession, and I’m excited to start working with clients myself. Though I still have two more years of study ahead, I’m enjoying every moment and feel confident that the time will fly by. I’m already looking forward to opening my own clinic and helping people improve their health through naturopathy.

If you’re considering a career as a naturopath, I highly recommend CNM. Unlike short-term nutritionist courses that offer limited knowledge, CNM provides a comprehensive, in-depth education that will set you up for a successful career.

Cnm has great tutors and all of the course material is super interesting and well structured. Love the clinic hours ...gives you a thorough learning opportunity even as an international student. Anyone looking to study nutrition and related fields look no further than cnm. It is the perfect institution.

A brilliant course with some really dedicated tutors and excellent materials. Even with a lot of background medical knowledge, I found this course invaluable for my professional development. Enjoyed it thoroughly. The online course is a well-deserved winner of the best course title for years in a row. I would highly recommend the Health Coach course here. Am really proud to be a CNM trained coach.

CNM's Health Coach Diploma was comprehensive, supportive and allowed for flexible studying. I studied online, at my own pace around working as a teacher and looking after my young children. I could contact my tutors whenever I needed and live tutorial and case taking studies were recorded so I could watch them back in my own time. Studying with CNM has opened up opportunities to me that I thought were out of reach. I am so excited to start up my own company, work for myself and continuing living and learning the way I want to. I would strongly recommend this course and college to anyone wanting a change their life.

I have just completed my 3 year course in Herbal Medicine at the CNM and it was really an excellent experience, with inspiring teachers and great content. I feel ready now to start up my own practice. It was brilliant! Thank you.

CNM has honestly changed my life. It has presented me with the opportunity to truly learn about health and healing and prevention and to help myself and those around me. I absolutely love the courses, they are so well presented and helpful and informative. It’s the best educational experience I’ve ever had—It is incredible. I can’t say enough good about this college.

I finished my Naturopathy diploma course in Feb 2024, which I took alongside with the Naturopathic Nutrition diploma course. The Naturopathy course is an important one for anyone who wants to support others' health naturopathically, as well as to share, preserve and continue hundred years of precious naturopathic knowledge, traditions and protocols. We’re taught concepts and remedies that not only address physical but also emotion conditions as they are interrelated. The academic tutors shared with us their practical clinic experiences besides rich insights and knowledge. My special thanks to Course Director Dee Clough who has been very supportive, understanding and proactive in providing additional teaching resources and workshops to us. Thanks Dee!!

I am grateful for the excellent quality of lecturers (for both in-person and online) in health coach course completed the past 10 months. I learnt more from the in-person classes because CNM lecturers are dedicated to the subject, brilliant communicators and made the in-person classes engaging and interactive. Thank you to CNM for providing a very supportive learning environment.
While the weekend studies felt intense at times (some topics took me more time to study), my classmates have been generous in sharing resources, study tips, and most importantly the shared enthusiasm to learn and have compassion was encouraging for me. Thanks CNM for connecting me to these wonderful human beings in my cohort!

Just finished 3 year course, based in London. Big thankyou to the academic tutors who support the online students, so helpful and quick with replies. Very enjoyable course, a lot of work, but content is great.

Just uploaded my last reflective essay after 3 amazing years of CNM. Honestly, I feel that I will be lost without any assignments to upload and I am sure I will miss those lovely weekends in class, watching and taking notes from all the amazing and knowledgeable lecturers at weekends in Dublin. A special thank you to Director of studies Marian C. that supported me throughout the years, in those difficult and challenging days of desperation. You are doing a great job in CNM Dublin and I am so grateful for all your help and emotional support. Thank you to in-class lecturers Honor and Claire and online lecturer Bob Q. You are great and made my days of CNM much more enjoyable and interesting. Wishing you all the best. Keep the amazing work and making wonders in people’s lives. You are the best. CT

Just heading into year two nutrition and absolutely loving the course The depth of knowledge and quality of material are amazing and I am finally doing what i love doing, special thanks to Ashling Kelly for all her support, was a pleasure to have her as a tutor, i wish her all the best in her life journey. I highly recommend that anyone looking to get into nutrition or other ,get studying with CNM , you wont be disappointed.

Gautami, I love your calming and soothing voice that calms me everytime I feel anxious about an exams or an assignment. You know how to encourage, support as well as making difficult subjects easier and focussing me. Most of all, you always inspire me with your passion you put in your case studies. You start from far, where every sign and symptom seem only part of long list and then bit by bit towards the end the magic happens when you draw all of them together in a symphony where everything gives a sense of how people's homeostasis has gone out of balance and how to regain it.

Got a response today (2 months later) for my queries sent per email on the 2nd of May. - Like it has been said before they're all about the money. All monies payed are non-refundable, no satisfaction guaranteed. - Hooked up to further my studies. Been given loads of biased misinformation (e.g. oats contain gluten (Digestive System Lecture 8, Part II, page 45)) - Courses and exams have been changed around at a spinning pace... After I decided to quit, just emails about more payments, nothing personal at all at all; thought individual is what holistic medicine and naturopathy is about? - Don't engage unless you are bl**dy desperate; signed student ID C260690

I have just finished my first 2 modules in Biomedicine and passed my first mini exam. I am so happy:) the quality of online teaching and materials are all great. My only challenge is that I have to do this course with an intense job in apparel industry, and with my 9yo son. The recommended hours of work is 10 hours a week, but it looks i need to spend more time. I am a little bit worried that I may fall behind the schedule, and if this happens i would like to know if there is any flexibility for the exam timelines.Overall I am very happy.

My experience at CNM wasn’t just eye-opening, it was life-changing. I learnt so much that I could put into practice in my personal life and also make a difference in other peoples life.
The content was a perfect balance of the holistic approach and evidence based. I couldn’t recommend CNM enough. I loved the Nutrition course so much, I have now enrolled on Herbal Medicine.

Excellent course but very demanding. There are deadlines, assignments like on degree courses. Their `sales` people wont tell you this and on my new course women who went to their open days told me they had received calls from their sales team. I had to leave as i developed several autoimmune problems due to stress. This seems not to be uncommon and one lady left with crohns she hadnt had since 22yrs ago. Unfortuanately CNM seem to be more intreasted in profit`- almost immediately after telling them i was leaving I had two emails in an almost threatening tone telling me I had to pay up for the last year by a certain date. They have lost their `ethics` and the reason why they are here basically. Its a college of healing and it has lost its way and only seems intreasted in making money

I enrolled on the Nutrition Course in Oct 2018. I was incredibly vulnerable at the time as I was completely devastated with my daughters diagnosis of Autism which is severe. I found changing my daughters diet was improving Autism symptoms, which made me seek out CNM. I went to an interview on Manchester site and I felt positive Id made the right decision. Upon receiving access to the work and looking at it I was totally terrified at the amount of work expected by myself as a mum of a child that didn't sleep, eat, digestive issues etc. I didnt feel the person who interviewed me told me enough about the amount of work expected of me. Anyhow I spoke to CNM whom said I couldn't have a refund as I'd signed the contract on site, I was then put through to the course manager who reassured me and I continued to begin the course. I struggled through Biomedicine which I really enjoyed but I was exhausted. I decided to take a year out (Oct 2019). Luckily I did as COVID hit shortly after, during that time my relationship became very abusive and my relationship was falling apart so i had to take another year out (Oct 2020), come March 2021I had to go into the women's refuge and as I went to start college again (Oct 2021) my mum went into ICU for 8weeks and my ex was dragging me through the family courts all the while I was trying to find a new home, get my daughter a suitable special needs school back home, be my mums advocate as she wasn't able. So because all this was happening I rang CNM and asked to defer, at this point in time I thought I had to take a year out at a time I didn't know when the course director said I could switch to online that meant I could put the course back a couple of months i was always under the impression i could only take a year out at a time. The online scenario was never explained to me. Anyhow come Oct 2022 i thought I was in a good place to start college, I'd finally moved back to my hometown out of the refuge into a new house and all set up, settled my daughter in new special needs school, I'd finished with court (court ordered) however as I started the course my ex made life very difficult, to be honest the amount of trauma I have made me unfunctional. But I struggled through for so long but I ended up back in court again, my daughter had to move school again as the school couldnt meet need, my grandad who I care for had an accident and hasn't come back the same, im power of attorney. There's more than this to explain but it's never ending anyways Ive just stopped trying I had no time to watch the lectures let alone study for the exams. I've just given up now through sheer exhaustion. I'm still enrolled getting all the info I can for my Autistic daughter but as far as the exams and assignments, I just couldn't hit the deadlines and I was failing the exams because I just couldnt keep up with the work load and my unfortunate life circumstances. I'm disappointed with how it's all been handled. I havent contacted CNM as I know what they will say to me. But I do feel incredibly abandoned, through the hardest times of my life, the one thing I had to look forward to was this but life put me in situations I couldn't ignore and i knew i was on my last leg with CNM from the last conversations and I'm just beyond exhausted. I guess I just want them to realise they have nothing in place for people like me, I finally escaped something auwful and I've been abandoned because I couldn't hit deadlines. It's not that my knowledge isn't strong or that I'm not committed I've just been pushed beyond breaking point...so I stopped for my own wellbeing. I'm dedicated to helping my Autistic daughter and educating people about the things I've done to help her, I walk into the Autism group and people stop and want to hear what I've got to say as many parents are desperate to help their children because the NHS isn't exactly helpful barring a diagnosis you don't get much help, and there's someone like me with a wealth of knowledge that I won't be able to put into practice because im not going to get any qualification because I couldn't hit the deadlines and my time to complete the course runs out in December. I guess I'm saying there should be something for people with extreme extenuating circumstances that has to be evidenced to help support people like me and give us a shot at finishing these courses so we can provide something from all we've learned. Having said all that the knowledge is fantastic but in terms of deadlines and extenuating circumstances ,they werent realistic for people like me, and I think CNM should look towards supporting abused people, especially as a college that teaches about health and wellbeing and massively within that self care. They need to practice what they preach for want of a better saying. Thank you
