Overview

Introducing the Alchemy Diploma, a comprehensive online course designed to immerse learners in the fascinating world of alchemy. This unique programme delves into the ancient practice of alchemy, a blend of philosophy, mysticism, and proto-chemistry, while exploring its practical applications, spiritual elements, and modern interpretations.

The Alchemy Diploma starts with an informative and captivating introduction to the field, acquainting students with its rich history and the prominent figures that have shaped this enigmatic discipline. From its origins in the Hellenistic period to the contributions of renowned alchemists such as Paracelsus and Jabir ibn Hayyan, learners gain an insightful understanding of the field’s development.

The course proceeds to explore the fundamental concepts and principles in alchemy, focusing on topics such as the First Matter, which is considered the origin of all substances in the cosmos, and the Three Essentials: Sulphur, Mercury, and Salt. These key principles underpin the alchemical process, and their mastery is crucial to understanding the practical applications of alchemy.

Next, the Alchemy Diploma discusses the Four Elements—earth, air, fire, and water—as central components in alchemical theories. Students learn about their distinct qualities and how they are interrelated in the process of transmutation, a vital aspect of the alchemical work.

A pivotal aspect of alchemy, the elusive Philosopher’s Stone, is also examined in-depth within the course. Students learn about its alleged properties, its significance in both the practical and spiritual spheres, and the historical attempts to create this extraordinary substance.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
