Feng Shui Frequently Asked Questions
The majority of Feng Shui graduates work in private practice. Their clientele will generally range from residential homes, real estate agents to assist in selling properties, to businesses.
Can I do the entire course online?
Most of the course is conducted online and you can start at any time of the year. Online subjects include: Feng Shui Foundations, Space Clearing and Decluttering. Subjects that involve live zoom sessions and onsite field training are: Advanced Feng Shui and Geomancy. Refer to the timetable HERE for details.
Are we required to attend on campus training?
Yes. You are required to attend one day field training to cover the practical component of the course. This involves 1/2 day on Geomancy and 1/2 day on Advanced Feng Shui held on the same day at the same venue (house).
What support will I receive during my training?
You will be assigned a trainer throughout the duration of each subject (12 weeks). Some students choose to contact their trainer on a regular basis, whilst other students only make contact when they submit their assessments. The trainer will touch base with you during the course of the subject. In addition, you can contact the college during business hours to answer questions on any subject (1300 889 845).
Are there any prerequisites to do the course?
No, we assume no prior knowledge in any field. Students will be provided with the knowledge and the skills in addition to numerous case studies to ensure they are competent to work as a professional Feng Shui Practitioner. Students should be motivated and willing to put the time required to successfully complete their studies.
Can I do a subject out of interest rather than enrol in the entire course?
Yes! You can enrol in any subject (except Advanced Feng Shui) and, if you are doing this for self-interest, you will not be required to submit any assessments, however in this case you will not receive a Statement of Attainment or formal qualification.
Do I need to buy equipment?
Yes. You will need to purchase a compass ($40) and feng shui template ($70) (available at the college).
How much homework is involved?
Students should set aside around eight hours of homework per week to complete each subject within a 12-week time frame. If you enrolled in two subjects for example, you should set aside around three days per week over 3 months. This includes the time required to read the course materials, watch videos, attend live zoom sessions and write your assessments.
I have not studied for many years. Will I be able to cope?
Most of our students are mature age many of whom have not studied for many years, or even decades. Writing essays and referencing can be challenging the first time round, so students are encouraged to discuss any concerns with their trainer. With each subject, you will be assigned a trainer with whom you can ask questions. Remember we are here to help you succeed!
Do I need computer skills?
This is a comprehensive online training program that involves live zoom sessions, and access to our Moodle platform. You will need to use a computer to develop questionnaires, checklist, reports, essays and complete online quizzes which need to be uploaded online. We assume that you are familiar with Word documents and basic computer knowledge in order to be able to successfully complete this course. If you are not familiar with how to use a computer, we suggest you complete a course in Word at a Tafe or Neighborhood house before you enrol in our courses.
Can I apply for credits for prior learning?
To obtain a Recognition of Prior Learning for a subject, the participant must demonstrate the same level of knowledge and skills as a student completing the subject. Depending on the subject, this will require evidence such as a comprehensive Feng Shui report, client questionnaire and, in some circumstances, may involve undertaking an online quiz to assess competency. For information regarding Recognition of Prior Learning, fees and applications, go HERE. We suggest you contact the college to discuss prior to submitting your application.
How does this course compare to other Feng Shui courses?
The Australian College of Environmental Studies is the only registered training organisation (21740) that has been delivering nationally accredited units in Feng Shui since 2005. Our graduates were instrumental in establishing the Association of Feng Shui Consultants (AFSC) and International Feng Shui Association (Australian Chapter).
