The Institute of Crystal
and Gem Therapists
The Institute of Crystal and Gem Therapists (ICGT) was formed in 1985.
Over the years ICGT has remained at the forefront of crystal therapy teaching in the UK.
ICGT is a founder member of ACHO, the Affiliation of Crystal Healing Organisations, which in 1988 agreed a core curriculum now taught by more than 20 schools in the UK and several outside of the UK.
ICGT is under the care of Mandala Complementary Studies (MCS) which was acknowledged as a National Open College Network Centre in January 2006.
All ICGT Modules are accredited and validated through the Open College Network of the South West. ICGT/MCS courses are externally verified and therefore meet educational regulatory requirements.
ICGT provides high quality courses that are taught in a grounded, practical way through an experienced and well-qualified group of tutors.
ICGT offers tutor-led courses at two levels:
1. Certificate Level *
The Certificate course contains the Core Curriculum of
ACHO/BCH which can be externally accredited and validated by the
Open College Network South West Region.
The Certificate Course is spread over 5/6 weekends

Physiology and completion of coursework.

The Certificate course is approved by the Complementary Therapists Association (linked to Embody)as a Core Therapy at 30 credits. The Certificate and Diploma have also been awarded
10 CPD points each from the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).
