Three levels. One progression. Foundations before clinical practice — because patients deserve trained practitioners, and because completing what you started feels different than abandoning it halfway through. Licensed health professionals can fast-track with credential waivers.
Why this matters
Soft gates, not hard walls. Prerequisites apply only to the three practitioner diplomas. Short certificate courses remain open-enrollment. Licensed health professionals (RN, RD, MD, ND, RHN, RAc, DC and more) can apply for an instant credential waiver — full list below.
Start where you are. Build the foundation, deepen with a specialization, then complete a full practitioner diploma. Every step is its own credential — leave with a certificate at any level.
The shared vocabulary. The clinical thinking. The case-based approach every HHH practitioner uses.
Build clinical depth in one focused area. Optional but recommended before the flagship diploma.
Full 18-month diploma. Proctored exams, supervised case work, official HHH credential.

Pick any single short course — Kidney Health, Autoimmune, Women's Hormonal, Holistic Nutrition, or Yoga Therapy. No prerequisite. No bundle. Just the focused training you need.
If you already hold a recognized health credential, you can apply for an instant prerequisite waiver. Upload proof at checkout — most waivers are auto-approved within minutes. No additional fee.
1. Apply for your chosen diploma through the standard application form.
2. At the credentials step, select "I have an equivalent qualification" and upload proof — license, certificate, or transcript.
3. Auto-approval for recognized credentials (see right). Manual review for international credentials within 2 business days. No additional fee.
If your credential is borderline, our admissions team can still grant a waiver based on supervised clinical hours and case work submitted at application.
Email Admissions →International credentials are reviewed individually — please attach proof of registration or licensure and we'll respond within 2 business days. We recognize qualifications from Canada, USA, UK, India, Australia, and the EU.
No. The five short certificate courses — Kidney Health, Autoimmune Specialist, Women's Hormonal Health, Holistic Nutrition Foundations, and Yoga Therapy — remain open-enrollment. Prerequisites only apply to the three practitioner diplomas, and even then they can be waived with a recognized credential.
External course completions can be submitted for transfer credit review. Email info@holisticharmonyhaven.ca with course title, hours, syllabus, and proof of completion. Review typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Approved credits reduce or eliminate the Foundations requirement.
Foundations satisfies the academic prerequisite, but diploma admission also requires the standard application review (motivation letter, scope-of-practice acknowledgement, ethics agreement). Most Foundations completers are admitted; admission decisions are made by the HHH Institute admissions committee.
The free Readiness Quiz is a self-assessment tool — it tells you if you're likely ready, but it does not formally waive the prerequisite. To skip Foundations you'll need either a recognized credential (instant waiver) or transfer-credit review.
Three reasons. First, accrediting bodies (IPHM, CPD, and our pending IICT submission) look favorably on programs with competency progression. Second, students with foundational training complete diplomas at much higher rates — protecting your investment of time and tuition. Third, clinical safety: practitioners trained in shared frameworks make safer decisions with real clients.
No. Students enrolled before the prerequisite policy date are grandfathered in. Your enrollment, progress, and credentials are unaffected. The prerequisite applies only to new applications going forward.
