Endeavour College of Natural Health

I have been a student with Endeavour for nearly 7 years. During that time, I have had challenges with various aspects of Endeavour College including customer service, lecturers, and communication. Most recently, I have been informed I need to make improvements in a subject I am doing. I am quite ok with the feedback. However, the lecturers… Read more

keep telling me I would not be able to progress but without putting into place any significant mechanisms for me to progress. In addition, one lecturer publicly declared in front of the class recently I will not progress. Is this good behaviour for a senior lecturer? I am aware lots of students have transferred to another school and withdrew from Endeavour. The courses are not cheap. In addition, some lecturers are very negative. The most important thing to know is Endeavour expects you to find your own clients in clinical practicum. If you have trouble doing so, you might not be able to complete the course. Your clinical practicum progress IS at the mercy of your clinical supervisors!! Not a good place to be. Naturopathy is fine but some people in it are not.

Student Experience – Throughout my journey here as a Naturopathy student with Endeavour College, I have had to overcome so many personal challenges and have develop more as a human being and slowly transform into not only the future practitioner I will be, but the person I would like to be. Like any other educational body, Endeavour has had many changes over the last… Read more ·  1

5 years. I have been a student during many challenges,, including; COVID, change of ownership and a change in staff. It would be unfair of me to say there is no support, poorly run, and overly difficult. Everyone here including the staff, students and everyone behind the scenes is doing the best they can given all the changes. I have found more common ground and support with the current staff (and some past) and students as we have gone through the trenches together. I have watched so many of us grow as individuals and our knowledge expand since being here and it is like a beautiful time lapse watching everyone develop.

I personally have changed as a human being, and I thank this degree and the ongoing support and understanding from lecturers and students to get me through this last 5 years and overcoming extreme personal challenges. Doing a degree that enables you to think outside the square, to really understand how much our daily habits, choices, social circles, environments, foods, attitudes effects our health made me come into center with myself and help me understand myself more and overcome issues like addiction and self-sabotage. Being here and speaking to lecturers and students, we all come from different backgrounds and most of us with colourful experiences and stories. You feel (or I feel) more understood as a person, I do not feel judged and have found peace in myself and my path as time has gone on. I feel there is such a community here and as you become more integrated into the on-campus subjects and clinic, you are able to create more beautiful friendships and connections.

I am grateful for this degree and how it has changed my life, challenges and all. Yes, I do the work, but I could not have made it through without the patience, understanding and help from all the staff and my peers here throughout my educational journey at Endeavor College

Practices what it teaches – I am currently completing my final year of the Bachelor of Clinical Nutrition at the Gold Coast campus and have truly loved my studies. It feels like they have flown by quickly and have kept me engaged and passionate right the way through. My overall experience has been really positive, but specifically the small class sizes at each campus have… Read more ·  1

been the biggest pro. Being part of an intimate group with dedicated supervisors has fostered a supportive, personal learning environment. The lecturers and supervisors are very approachable and proactive. They have diverse backgrounds and experience in a variety of specialty areas which has afforded valuable insights into different approaches to clinical practice. Much of the course is delivered online and the clinical practicums are offered at the local campus meaning I haven't had to travel or be away from home for long periods to log experiential hours, allowing flexibility to work and study at the same time. I've had no issues with getting support when needed, regardless of the online approach. Whilst this course is more expensive than comparable others, having completed a previous Bachelor's degree at another major university, it has been a much more supportive learning experience feeling like part of a team and not just another number in a big system. Personally, that's been worth the expense and has motivated me to be more dedicated and get more out of my studies at Endeavour. If you're looking for a university that lives and breathes what it teaches, supports the individual and promotes student success, I would absolutely recommend Endeavour.

Having already completed a degree in Acupuncture, it was clear that I would go back to Endeavour college in a heartbeat to complete my Herbal Dispensary. Sydney Campus has always offered 1st class facilities for students to learn and practice their chosen profession. The friendly and professional staff are always there to offer any needed help to the students and wider public. Show details ·  1

Studying my diploma of health science and Chinese remedial massage (part time) with endeavour college has been really great experience overall. The fresh campus, tight knit classes and experienced lecturers make for a high levels of involvement and interaction. Being able to study at your own pace with blended learning such as livestreams and… Read more ·  1

online material allows for heaps of flexibility throughout the course and I found it quite manageable with work and other life commitments. Although challenging at times the course progression left me feeling comfortable in my knowledge and skill when it came time to actually practicing on patients in clinic. Highly recommended!!

A fantastic place to study Chinese Medicine and acupuncture! The learning environment is inspiring, the teachers are knowledgeable and supportive, and there’s so much valuable knowledge to take away. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about holistic health and healing Show reply

I have been studying at endeavour for the last 3 years. At the beginning the structure and support for the course was fantastic. It has been declining over the past year or so however the supervisors, lecturers and clinic staff are all amazing. They are always doing what they can to help

Started off well and went downhill – I have graduated from the Clinical Nutrition degree at Endeavour in Adelaide in July 2024. My experience studying with Endeavour was a mixed bag. I started in 2018, before COVID and the shift to online learning. I found the learning prior to COVID gave the opportunity to interact with local students and make more connections, and the learning was… Read more

more personalised. Post-COVID, nearly all Endeavour subjects moved permanently online, and I feel the quality of lectures was reduced (not in all cases). The clincal practicum component of the Adelaide Campus was disappointing to say the least. The first clinic block had two dietitians supervising, whose skills were not in alignment with a Clinical Nutrition subject and had no knowledge of supplements. The second and third block superviser was a clinical nutritionist with a lot of knowledge, however the way they spoke and treated the students was atrocious and very much limited the opportunity to learn. I cam out of this degree lacking the confidence I had hoped to gain during clinic and feeling very disappointed after 6 years of studying. I have heard that there are new supervisors now in place and things are improving, so it may be a better place to study than when I attended.

Endeavour College: You need Passion, $$$ and Resilience to Complete the Course – I have been a part-time student doing a BHSc (Naturopathy) degree at Endeavour since 2020. I really enjoyed studying at the college for the Year 1 and 2 of the degree. The course materials were stimulating, enjoyable, and I got along with most lecturers very well. They were very responsive. However, as I entered Year 3, things have begun to… Read more

change. Last semester, one lecturer suspected we were using AI to do our assignments, and they refused to release our assignment mark. Me and some other students emailed the lecturer in charge many times, but she never replied to our emails. None of us used AI. The other issue is their attendance marking for pre-clinical subjects. I have had to remind some lecturers to mark the attendance of the live sessions because you need 100% attendance to pass. In this semester, one lecturer even did not turn up for class on time, and 90 of us had to wait for her, not knowing what to do. I feel something is amiss. I have provided the college with feedback. Look, the course is very expensive, and you should only do it if you are really passionate about it, and you can put up with some lecturers they have that are not up to the mark. Also, the course is female dominated, and some female students DO NOT want to work with men. All and all, 2 years ago, I would rate it 8/10. Now, I will rate it as 6/10 by the end of 4th year. It is always the people you work with that are challenging to you. One other review said that you will be 'grateful' you finish this course. I will say you will be 'gravy' for the rest of your life.

I am in my last year of my Chinese medicine and acupuncture degree. My experience has been overall positive, supportive and transformational. I have learned so much from my teachers here, the staff have been very available and supportive during my studies and the likeminded peers I have studied alongside have made it an amazing experience. I have… Read more ·  1

appreciated the transition to more online theory subjects as I live rurally and it made this degree possible for me. I feel so grateful to study this ancient and transformational medicine in an empowering, inspiring and supportive environment.

Studying at Endeavour College has honestly been such a beautiful experience. I’ve felt really supported the whole way through, both academically and personally, and the lecturers genuinely care about what they’re teaching and about you as a student. I’ve loved how the course blends theory with real clinical practice – the student clinic has been… Read more

such a highlight and has given me so much confidence working with clients. It feels like a really aligned place to study naturopathy, and I’m leaving feeling prepared, inspired and excited to step into practice.

I graduated from Endeavour College of Natural Health last year with a qualification in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I had a very positive experience overall. The college is well-established with campuses across Australia, which gave me confidence in the quality and consistency of the program. The TCM course was professional, comprehensive,… Read more

and well-structured. The teaching staff were highly knowledgeable, experienced in clinical practice, and always approachable. They were genuinely supportive and willing to help students both academically and professionally.

I especially appreciated the clinic experience, which provided valuable hands-on training. The support from both clinic and campus administrative staff was outstanding — they were friendly, organised, and always ready to assist, making the whole learning experience much smoother.

Overall, I would highly recommend Endeavour College to anyone considering a career in natural health, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I had a really positive experience at Endeavour studying naturopathy. The course was well-structured with a good balance of science, clinical practice, and holistic health philosophy.

part-time, and with online learning, I was able to work it into my own schedule. I feel equipped with all the skills and knowledge I need as a recent graduate, ready to see clients on the outside.

Endeavour is a great place to study as a student. I moved to Endeavour from another uni and the teachers here have all been amazing, with a broad range of knowledge and skills it's a blessing to be able to learn TCM from them. The Sydney college clinic is great, it's relatively busy, well stocked, with nice rooms, the clinic staff in particular… Read more ·  1

Endeavour wellness college is a great college if you're looking for a degree in natural health, the wellness clinic staff and supervisors are excellent and good at contributing to your learning Show reply

About to enter my third and final year of my clinical nutrition degree with Endeavour. I have found my time to be good overall. Some of the lectures have such a great deal of knowledge and I have learnt a lot. I always found the staff helpful when I had questions, and it was amazing to study somewhere with people who had the same values as me. The… Read more ·  1

course is very $$ but it is something I really wanted to do. I did tend to find I learnt a lot more with the on-campus classes as opposed to the online ones and would love more of those classes to help consolidate learning. Overall, I have enjoyed my time.

The last 12 months at clinic have been incredibly challenging in the best ways, and I’m grateful for the support of the staff at Endeavour Wellness Clinic in Sydney. Sheila and Celina have always been there to help and guide when needed, and it would have been a very different experience at clinic without them, so thank you to them! The skills I’ve learnt during my time at clinic are invaluable and I’m looking forward to what the future holds. Show reply

I am a student at Endeavour and couldn't recommend studying here more! The supervisors, staff and my peers all bring such positive energy to the clinic. I have always felt supported in every subject. The Endeavour Wellness Clinic is a wonderful multi-modality student clinic and I have recommended it to everyone I know - for all health needs: acupuncture, naturopathy and nutrition. Show reply

For the last 5 years, I have been studying Naturopathy and am currently in my last year doing clinic. It was a hard journey to start off with, but since starting clinic I feel like I've learnt so much with not only the clients that have come in, but the support of other students and supervisors that are there for you. I never thought I would… Read more ·  1

almost be at the end of degree but here we are!!

If you are someone who loves the holistic approach to life and would love to deep dive into understanding the body then coming to Endeavour is the way to go. It has to be one of the hardest but most rewarding challenges I've had to face and I am so glad that I started this degree :)

My time studying Acupuncture at Endeavour in Adelaide was a very special time for me. During this unique time of my life, I was fortunate to learn from different teachers with different backgrounds and lenses on Chinese Medicine. From Chinese doctors trained in China to physiotherapists with a master's in Chinese Medicine, it gave me perspective… Read more ·  1

Endeavour wellness clinic in Syd has been a super beautiful experience for me as a student. The degree is challenging but with the beautiful support from the staff it makes my time here so nice.

our interactions. You both handle so much and support the students to the maximum which I am so grateful for. Anna, you made clinic that much better with your kind, empathetic and supportive nature. I truly am thankful for all the support. Glenise, your intelligence, compassion and nurturing nature doesn’t go unnoticed. You make clinic very comfortable for every student at all levels of experience. Thank you ladies for being amazing, you are all so special and have made my experience here very memorable.

My experience in clinic has been wonderful! A special shout out to Sheila, the Sydney clinic administrator who has made my (and many other students) experience in clinic so enjoyable!! The clinic supervisors have also been such a rich source of wisdom and support throughout this experience - these amazing people are the reason I feel equipped and excited to step into clinic practice once I graduate! I am genuinely going to miss the student clinic Show reply

I have really enjoyed my time studying at Endeavour College (Melbourne campus) to become a Naturopath! Clinic has especially helped me feel more confident with clients, as well as deepened my knowledge and has helped me to get familiar with products too. The supervisors and staff have all be super helpful and I have learnt so much from my peers. I highly recommended studying with Endeavour! Show reply

I'm a final year Acupuncture student at Endeavour College and have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the College. The Chinese Medicine supervisors on the Gold Coast campus are extremely knowledgeable and I feel very prepared to enter the workforce as a qualified acupuncturist. Show reply
