Acknowlegments and Certifications

• Government Level
• Professional Level

The most meaningful acknowledgement of the quality of our work comes from our students. This being said, courses at the College are recognized by numerous associations and organizations. The Alternative Medicine College exists since 1988 and has obtained all relevant acknowledgements and certifications in the field of alternative therapies.

Professional Level

At the corporate and professional levels, joining a professionnal association enables the patients to receive a refund from their private insurance companies, when they have one. However, this does not constitute a legal acknowledgement from the Department of Education or the Office des professions du Québec.

Since the education offered at the College is internationally recognized by numerous associations, our students are assured to be able to join one of them which will entitle their patients to receipts, namely in France, Canada and the USA.
