Tier 3 is our practitioner track
for students who wish to work with the remedies in a consultative setting.

To help others we must become mindful of ourselves.
We remove our blockages and learn to listen from the heart.
We want to help.
But we want to do it well.
And so we learn about how to help.
And we learn about getting out of the way.

Held in a small interactive group that inspires and transforms
and led by a master teacher,
Mindful ConsultingTM provides the understanding and awareness
you need to effectively help others.
Grounded in Dr. Edward Bach’s original system,
Bach Flower Education has taught these programs since 1998,
with small-group training and formal assessment leading to BFCP eligibility.

Much thought and care went into the development of this new hybrid delivery to become a Bach Flower Certified Practitioner. It's been so rewarding to experience the connections and group dynamics we have been able to form in this new online setting.

My experience with the Level 3 Practitioner’s Online course was extremely helpful, insightful and enjoyable.
I feel that Nancy Buono’s beautiful soul, her brilliant teaching style, her expanded knowledge and higher wisdom and her matter of fact approach to conveying the ‘Golden Nuggets’ of Dr. Bach’s perfect system helped to simplify the process for me. I feel confident that as a Bach Flower Certified Practitioner I will be able to help others in ways that are in alignment with Dr. Bach’s philosophy, his method and his heart’s desire to create an effective, affordable healing system for the changing times that anyone can use. The Bach Flower Institute is an awesome institution to learn from! I am so very grateful for having just had the timely, comfortable, intimate and awesome Level 3 Online experience. Thank you Nancy and thank you Bach Flower Institute.
I've been looking forward to completing Level 3 for 18 years and it never lined up with my schedule. I took this class online for convenience and because it aligned with my schedule, but I did wonder if the experience would somehow be diminished online The class actually exceeded my expectations. The tech was easy and the whole experience was actually less stressful for me as I didn't have to leave home, board my dog, travel, and deal with the added stress of travel in a pandemic. It also greatly reduced travel and lodging costs. This class was one of the best continuing education classes I've ever taken. It was a non-stressful situation that really allowed me to absorb, integrate, and fully appreciate the material.

I sincerely enjoyed the Level 3 Practitioner Course. Nancy is an amazing teacher, helping us along, teaching and building confidence in our abilities to become future Practitioners.
This wonderful course provided a solid foundation for becoming a Bach Flower Practitioner. We learned a lot and had fun in the process. Nancy is extremely knowledgeable about her Flowers, and her enthusiasm for them is contagious. She is an excellent teacher, compassionate and patient. She is also amazing with technology. A 4-day “experimental” online learning course went without a glitch! The Zoom format definitely worked; the interactive and intimate approach kept us engaged with the subject and connected with each other.

Students who complete practitioner training through Bach Flower Education receive a certificate recognizing their course of study. Like a diploma from a school, this certification belongs to the student and does not require annual renewal. Some graduates choose to join practitioner organizations for continuing education, professional support, or visibility, but participation is optional.
Upon completion of Practitioner Certification, you will be qualified to call yourself a Bach Flower Certified Practitioner (BFCP™.) Additionally, you will be eligible to join the Bach Flower Practitioner Alliance (BFPA), where you will have access to ongoing practitioner support via materials, newsletters, conference calls and webinars, and be eligible for a listing on our Alliance map.
For returning practitioners whose original training was completed more than ten years ago, certification is completed through Tier 3B under a modified Certification Review Track. Please email us for further details.
