What is Feng Shui?
Feng
Shui is most commonly pronounced Fung Shway, Fung Shoy or Fung Soy
(depending upon which part of Asia you come from). The literal meaning
is "Wind Water". Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese art of
placement and arrangement of space to bring happiness, success and
harmony into a person's life. For a place to have "good feng shui"
it is said to be in harmony with nature. Competent Feng Shui practitioners are able to psychologically profile a site and inform the client as to what is going in every facet of their life without any input from the client. As such, they require a solid practical and theoretical training in the traditional schools of Feng Shui which are: Form School, Compass School and the Flying Star School as well as a good working knowledge on the most ancient of all Feng Shui schools - Geomancy.
About The Feng Shui Course
In 2005, the Certificate IV in Feng Shui (30576QLD) was the first government accredited feng shui qualification in Australia. Consisting of six subjects, it is a one year full time or two year part time course. It consists of five core subjects and one elective subject. For more information about each subject click here.
The feng shui course is founded upon the principles of manifestation. The underlying belief is that of all the millions of dwellings in the world, you are living in the right building at the right time to reflect your life. Through the principles of Form, Compass and Flying Star school Feng Shui, students begin to unravel how their home and workplace reflects their life. Numerous case studies and field trips enable students to consolidate the information in the course. Students are encouraged to test everything they learn in the course in order to experience first hand, how it works. Only by addressing these issues and manifesting abundance in their own life, are students able to help their own clients and establish a successful career in the field.

Students may attend
classes in Melbourne (1 day per week) or Sydney (weekends) OR complete the course via correspondence in addition to a ten day workshop at the Gold Coast. For a description and cost of each subject click here.

What does it mean to be nationally accredited?
National accreditation was sought after complaints from the public regarding adverse results after having a feng shui consultation. Upon further investigation, it became apparent that many of these practitioners had been self taught and/or had only attended up to one week of training with little or no field experience or assessments. Around 20% of the audits conducted by our lecturers and graduates are as a result of complaints by the public regarding feng shui consultations conducted by other practitioners.
- Equivalent to the ISO9000 standard in businesses, it took the college two years to comply with accreditation in order to ensure that graduates received the highest level of training available both practically and theoretically to be deemed competent in the Feng Shui industry.
- Graduates of the college receive a government recognised tertiary qualificaton that is recognised at all tertiary institutions Australia wide.
- Not only do all of our lecturers have to be experts who are successful in their industry, they must also have a teaching qualification to be able to teach a nationally recognised course.
- In order to attain accreditation, the course had to include extensive practical field training as well as detailed theory in order to ensure that graduates were competent and confident practitioners. As such this is the most comprehensive Feng Shui course in Australia (700 hours).
- The course is Austudy approved so that eligible students may receive government funding whilst studying this course.
- In order to ensure that graduates are able to run a viable business, students complete a comprehensive business plan as part of the Business Skills subject which was designed by a variety of experts in the small business industry.
- Students are eligible to join the Association of Feng Shui Consultants at the highest level.

Career
Opportunities
Most Feng Shui consultants work in private practice. Their clientele
will generally range from residential homes, to businesses and corporate
clients. After several years of practice, some of our graduates have
been employed to teach at the college. The college actively promotes
a graduate's business by referring the public to the consultant's
section of this website (this is free to our graduates in exchange
for a report).
A Feng Shui consultant is commonly asked to provide insight into the
following issues:
* Why a business is struggling financially and how it can be improved
* Ideas on merchandise positioning to maximise sales
* Why a house feels unhomely and what can be done
* To determine if the building is contributing to health problems
such as fatigue, insomnia and chronic respiratory tract infections
* To create a sacred space when people move into the house
* Placement of furniture in each room of the house
* To clear an entity from a building
* Landscape recommendations
* Renovation ideas
* Many other reasons!
