Courses held at the Bach Centre
The Bach Centre consists of Mount Vernon, its surrounding garden and seminar rooms, our café – Nora’s Kitchen – and the Bach Centre shop. The courses held at the Bach Centre give students a wonderful opportunity to study where Dr. Bach lived and worked during the last years of his life and where, having found the last 19 of the 38 remedies in the area, he completed his work. While you are on the course you will have the opportunity to explore the Mount Vernon house – a living museum – where you will find Dr. Bach’s hand-made furniture, original tinctures, writings, photographs and more: a walk through time from the beginnings of his discovery to how his work and life at the Bach Centre has evolved since 1934 when Dr. Bach came to settle in Mount Vernon. You will also have time to wander in the garden which surrounds the house and where several of the Bach remedy flowers grow, blooming at different times of the year from early Spring through to Autumn.
Our Level 1, 2 and 3 trainers who teach our courses at Mount Vernon are all highly experienced, not only in their own modalities and practices, but also as Bach flower practitioners, trainers, mentors and assessors. They have all been been working as Bach Foundation Registered Practitioners for some 30 years and are among our first and most experienced Bach Centre Teachers. You can therefore be assured of thorough and accurate information as you embark on your journey.
Level 1: A two-day course which aims to cover all the basic principles of Dr. Bach’s work. We will cover the indications for each of the 38 remedies, the history of Dr.Bach’s discoveries, his philosophy of healing and the methods and principles of simplicity which form the foundation of the system.
Day 1: The 38 remedies are explained through Dr. Bach’s seven group headings. These are divided between days one and two, and will include group discussions and exercises to help to reinforce what you have learned at each stage. Day 1 will also cover dosage and how to prepare a treatment mix. At the end of Day 1 there will be a homework exercise to prepare for Day 2 when it will inform a group discussion in the morning.
Day 2: After the exercise that you were set for homework, we will complete the last of the group headings along with discussions and group work to practise what you know. Day 2 will cover the history of Bach’s work, his medical discoveries and the work of the Bach Centre. You will learn how the remedies can fit into your life and how they can be of help to animals and plants as well as yourself, your friends and family as an aid to emotional wellbeing.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers throughout the two days, and opportunities to meet and chat with the Bach Centre Team.
By the end of Level 1 you will leave with a good basic understanding of the system, how to use it and how it can become a natural part of everyday life.

Level 2: A two-dy course which aims to consolidate your remedy knowledge, explore the relevance of Dr. Bach’s philosophy to you personally, and will give you the opportnity to exchange views and experiences and learn from fellow students. The course will cover the subtle differences between similar remedies which involves much group work to provide a solid understanding of the remedies and provide you with more confidence in your remedy knowledge to equip you to progress to the Level 3 practitioner training.
Day 1: After introductions and a re-cap of the practical use of the remedies, we will then look at the subtle differences between certain remedies and comprisons with those that have similar indications. These sessions are intersperssed with exercises and discussions within small break-out groups and also as feedback sessions within the whole group. At the end of Day 1 there will be a homework exercise to prepare for Day 2 when it will inform a group discussion in the morning.
Day 2: After the remedy selection exercise that you were set as homework, we will cover Dr. Bach’s philosophy and other beliefs, and then go on to further group work which will provide more opportunities to think about the subtle differences and why you would choose one remedy over another, or how you would apply remedies to given situations. After lunch there is group work so you can practise your listening and skills and help you phrase your questions to help find the most appropriate remedies for someone who needs help in their selection.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers throughout the two days, and opportunities to meet and chat with the Bach Centre Team.
By the end of Level 2 you will leave having had the opportunity to build on your understing of the Bach flower system so that you not only have more confidence to help yourself and your family, but also the gateway the practitioner Level 3 training.

Level 3: This is the practitioner level of training taking place over 4 days focusing on the skills involved in facilitating a Bach remedy consultation and the standards required of a practitioner registered with the Bach Centre. Whilst the remedy indications form an essential part of the course, group work and discussions, it is assumed that students have a sound knowlege of the system already so the course can devote time to the use of the remedies as a practitioner in professional practice.
The course instruction takes place over the first three days. On the fourth day there is an exam. This shouldn’t be anything to worry about, it is simply testing your knowledge of what you have learned, with the focus on remedy knowledge and remedy application.
There will be plenty of time for questions and answers throughout the two days, and opportunities to meet and chat with the Bach Centre Team. After the exam on Day 4 you can relax and will be either free to go or stay for lunch in Nora’s Kitchen and enjoy the surroundings for a little longer.
- If you have completed an approved Level 2 course, you can book a Level 3 course at the Bach Centre here.
