Abdul Hayy Holdijk is the main instructor for these professional courses. A number of outside lecturers have also given two day seminars as part of the course including Ian Watson, Robin Murphy, Jan Scholten, Robert Bridge, Beth Tyers, John Morgan, Rajan Sankaran, Dinesh Chauhan, and many others.
The course was being taught in cooperation with renowned homeopath Robin Murphy (who recently passed away) and the Lotus Health Institute in the USA.
"It has been my great pleasure to contribute to the homeopathic training course in Cairo over the years, which has evolved under the guidance of Abdul Hayy Holdijk into a first-class programme. The course is broad-ranging, comprehensive and encourages the inner development of the students alongside the academic learning. The students are given a thorough grounding in homeopathic theory and practice, together with a broad awareness of energy medicine and holistic healing. The theoretical learning is backed up by clinical training and support enabling the students to progress to a professional standard. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone."
