Paramount College graduates can start their professional lives after 3 years of full time study. They can then start to earn an income, perhaps while finishing their Bachelor qualification by distance education through Charles Sturt University. The Advanced Diploma is the highest qualification available in Australia through the Vocational Education & Training (VET) sector, and is a well regarded standard internationally. As the field of natural medicine continues to grow, in terms of professional practice, and acceptance by the health care profession and the community at large, the standard of education required is also rising. Paramount College’s Advanced Diploma qualifications provide a solid foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills, and and also form the basis for further study.
Advanced Diploma Graduates of the Paramount College Training Model are eligible to apply for membership of the Australian Natural Therapists Association. This confers professional status to the graduate, as well as offering the more practical aspects of their careers, such as professional insurances. Advanced Diploma Graduates are also eligible to apply for admission into the Bachelor of Health Science (Complementary Medicine) programme at Charles Sturt University. This institution offers distance education options, and a Master of Health Science stream. (Refer Bachelor Degree)
