Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do I need several certificates even if I only want to be a PC?
A. The Specialty Add Certificates are optional programs, and you do not need them to begin your practice. However, we have found that they add immediate new income and clients to your practice, as well as protect you from State or Association licensing challenges.
Q. Do I have to follow any additional licensure regulations once I get my certificates?
A. Some US States require a tax license to sell products, but since there is no VAT (services tax) in the US so far, no additional license is needed. You can begin counseling the moment your certificates arrive. If you live in UK or Australia, and certain Provinces in Canada, you do have to also get a VAT (tax) license. If you live in a State that has been cracking down on HC's due to medical establishment and drug industry attacks on the profession, additional Specialty Certificates can allow you to practice with no additional licensure required in many cases.
Q. Does my course help with business as well as the counseling course itself?
A. All PSU courses are designed for those who would like to start their own businesses and practices, so yes, there is a significant amount of material in every course relating to the business and financial success aspects of your practice. Our grads are so successful, so fast, due to the demand, that most are turning down clients due to demand once the word is out about their home practice, office or clinic. In addition, our exclusive and unique Specialty Adds Option is attracting thousands of Wellness Counselors for additional certification due to expanding into new business areas like career counseling, mortgage and finance, pastoral counseling, and many others. These both protect your practice, and add significant new clients and income.
Q. Can I do this even if I don't have a lot of experience? What if I get some kind of seriously ill patient I can't handle?
A. Holistic Counselors refer to other Physicians just as other Physicians refer to them. The secret is to specialize, and then become known for your unique skill. Many HC's are now focusing their practices on unique areas not covered by traditional medicine such as death and grief counseling, substance abuse, spiritual guidance, herbs, nutrition, exercise, supplements and food allergies as well as specialty adds such as career counseling, credit and finance, mortgage, pastoral counseling, and many other areas that HELP THE WHOLE PERSON.
Q. What is the advantage of taking the more advanced courses?
A. It is an indication of the seriousness of your commitment, and can add significant new clients and income to your practice, as well as protect it from challenges. When you realize that you can begin making over $400 a day right away, why would you not want every piece of information to become the best you can be, as soon as possible? Over 85% of our grads order all five packages. If you order the most advanced courses, it includes the others at no additional cost, as PSU is here for your professional AND financial success! If you scrimp here, you are scrimping on YOURSELF! Think about the savings compared to other courses that can take 8 years, and cost $200,000 or more!
Q. How does my completion validation work?
A. Unlike other Colleges, PSU validations are always unlimited, and always free. Others charge from $100 to $500 EACH for transcripts! Once your certificates are received, your transcripts become active once you return your final exam.
Q. Your prices are awesome for an accredited program, are there other graduation or matriculation fees?
A. NO, NEVER. What you see is what you get, one price, no hidden charges.
Q. I noticed a shipping fee, but this is an online/ email course. What is the shipping for?
A. Your ship link remains active until course completion, at which time your certificates are sent to your Paypal address of record (the address you put down when you ordered). If you used a spouse's email or Paypal account, be sure to let us know your name for your certificates!
Q. How does the course work?
A. With some emails and ISPs, you get a download when you order. On most systems, you will receive your course by email within 48 hours of your order clearing on Paypal.
Q. Do you require a college degree?
A. No, you can enroll with a High School diploma, GED, or equivalent life experience in the areas of nutritional, holistic and natural healing.
