Admission criteria

We require a minimum of 1200 hours of training, with naturopathic graduation.

If you completed your education outside of Canada, you must have your degree(s) assessed by one of the following credential evaluation agencies:

• World Education Services (WES),
• International Credentials Assessment Service of Canada (ICASC), or
• International Credential Evaluation Service (ICES)

Results of the formal education assessment must be sent from directly to the ANPQ from the credential evaluation agency.

If you completed your education in Canada, you must arrange to have university transcripts sent directly to the ANPQ. If the academic institution is unable to send a transcript directly, we will accept a certified copy of the transcript issued to you.
