Hopi Ear Candling
About the Level 3 Hopi Ear Candling Certificate
Hopi ear candling also called ear candling, or ear coning is a tradition that started with the Ancient Greeks and carried out through the modern world with the name of Hopi, through a misunderstanding. It is well known by now that the candles are not attributed to the Hopi tribe. There is no invasive action to the body. The candle, which is in fact a conic hollow tube made of cotton, beeswax, honey and other ingredients, is placed in the outer ear and it stimulates the auditory canal through a light vacuum effect.
This holistic therapy course covers not only healing techniques, but also anatomy and physiology notions of the head and ear, contraindications, pre and after care and other treatments that can be used alongside the ear candle therapy.
The time you should dedicate is intended to take up to 110 hours. However, this home course is designed to offer you a stress-free learning experience. There are no deadlines and no set time restrictions. You could study it in more or less time, if you wish.
Who should study this course?
Therapists already experienced in alternative treatments can add Hopi ear candling to their portfolio. Also, novices interested in offering this experience to friends and family or looking to gain an extra set of skills in the already popular alternative medicine field.
You do not need any qualifications, or experience before starting this Hopi ear candling course. You simply need to have access to the study materials along with your interest in holistic therapies in order to complete the course.
What happens after the course?

Anyone who is studying for or has completed a course endorsed by an Ofqual approved awarding body is eligible to join Qualifications Register. The Qualifications Register (QR) is an independent register that aims to serve both members of the public and those professionals who hold recognised qualifications.
QR's primary aim is to provide transparency to members of the public and employers. The QR is a searchable database that allows them to find a practitioner and view the relevant qualification and endorsements the practitioner holds. The member of the public is then able to make an informed decision in relation to the suitability of the practitioner. QR also tracks whether practitioners have insurance, again something that is useful for members of the public. QR can also help professionals gain insurance or find professional indemnity cover. Click here to find out more.
Members of the public can check an independent source with complete confidence that the practitioner has the qualification(s) they claim to have and that any additional CPD the practitioner has, is verified and quality assured to make sure that the CPD is being done on a regular basis. QR tracks a practitioners endorsed CPD (in unison with our CPD accreditation partner Lifetime Awarding) and other key signals to help members of the public and employers to come to a more informed decision about the professional they intend to use. This is an enormously valuable signal that's increasingly important as business becomes more deregulated and privatised.
For practitioners QR helps you market your skills, endorsements and feedback transparently to a wider audience. It also gives you access to a community to help make you more able to progress and succeed in your field of expertise. Click here to find out more.
