FES Practitioner Certification Program

The  FES Practitioner Certification Program  is offered as a post-course option for all participants who complete the  FES Professional Course  offered by FES or one of our authorized teachers. This program is intended to add depth, documentation skills and objective professionalism to your flower essence practice. It also contributes to the important research and clinical documentation that is essential to the recognition of flower essence therapy as a valid holistic practice. 

We offer two options for meeting the  FES Practitioner Certification  requirements.

Option 1: Clinical Case Study

This option is a well-established pathway to FES Certification for many decades. With this option, you will be submitting three model case studies profiling individuals or animals, using a structured format for documentation developed by Flower Essence Society.

A) Be sure to read about the requirements for clinical case studies with people submitted for certification, which will guide you through the process.

This is an exemplary FES Certification case study. It is impressive with the completeness of every detail of the case. In addition, the techniques used by the practitioner to facilitate the client dialog and unfolding of the healing outcome were outstanding. (This is a large file since it is a complete case including narrative, client documentation and forms, so it might take a while to load or download, depending on your bandwidth.)

You can also read summaries of sample case studies previously submitted for certification.

B) We also have an option for animal case studies submitted for certification, with different procedures and documentation appropriate for these cases.

Option 2: Independent Study for Social Service Work

 

This is an independently designed program, with populations in need or with a particular therapeutic issue in a social context. To participate in this option you must prepare a detailed proposal for your research program and its documentation and submit it to the Flower Essence Society for approval. Please see full details of the Independent Study Social Service Requirement. 

Additional Requirements for Certification

Please note that in addition to the option you choose above, all candidates for certification must also submit the following:

1. An archetypal character study of a real or fictional person, representing the qualities of a particular flower essence theme
2. A plant study to be submitted at any time prior to, or with the submission of other certification materials.
3. A reading and matriculation fee determined by your teacher.
