Duration of study, training options, teaching times, teaching format and learning effort

• The Feng Shui consulting training is generally designed to be part-time and has a modular structure.
• The duration of the courses varies greatly and depends on the provider and the offer. For example, there are one-day workshops and (advanced) seminars that last a few days (1-4 days). The basic training takes longer: usually 6 - 24 months.
• The timetables are compiled independently by the schools. They therefore differ from school to school. Lessons often take place on a weekday and/or Saturday.
• The Feng Shui consultant training is offered in both classroom and online formats.
• Thanks to the extra-occupational concept of the course, you can apply and deepen the learning material in practice straight away. Nevertheless, you should allow sufficient time for preparation and follow-up of the lessons and for self-study - how much depends on your prior knowledge, working style and learning speed. We recommend that you allow at least 4-6 hours per week as a precaution.

Degree, diploma and title

As already mentioned, most Feng Shui consulting training courses are modular. Those who have successfully completed each module can sit the final examination.

As a rule, the final examination is a written examination in which the learning material and the work completed in the student's own projects are examined. Successful completion of the training and the final examination is confirmed with a certificate, diploma, certificate or similar.

For shorter courses in particular, a course attendance of at least 80% is often sufficient to obtain the school's own certificate.

Diploma and title

Successful graduates receive a certificate / diploma from the respective school: "Feng Shui Consultant [name of school] (Cert.)".
