Why you should join our online Courses?
Dr. Stefan Stangaciu is practicing apitherapy, phytotherapy, aromatherapy and apipuncture since 1991. He is delivering, since 1999, training courses in Romania and worldwide. The courses are regularly updated in response to advances in Apitherapy and bee products science.
Our main objective is to help you to have a very good understanding of the Apitherapy theory but to ground also the course in real-world practice.
Contact us shortly to ask for preliminary details, in case you are interested in improving your own health or education, or to help the human or animal health, or to ameliorate the environment and its extremely important biodiversity helped by the bees, ideally your own bees.
Our main e-mail address is: DrStangaciu@gmail.com but to be sure that we will receive all your messages, kindly send us a copy of your email to: DrStangaciu@apitherapy.com

Why do you need an online, long distance Apitherapy Course?
There are many reasons for that:
· Each of us has been, is or can be ill some day…
· our family members or friends can be in the same situation and may need our help;
· to prevent diseases is much, much easier than to treat them;
· the classical, allopathic treatments, based only on chemical treatments recommended also by the pharma industry have usually too many adverse reactions, up to life threatening ones, especially in the treatment of chronical diseases;
· the bee products have an extraordinary richness in nutrients and “soft” active compounds which can protect our health efficiently against over 800 diseases ;
· the beekeepers have the second highest longevity among all professions; they are usually strong and generous with their friends all their life. Why? Because they regularly receive their bees “treatment” (good, natural food, and stimulation through the bee stings)
· Apitherapy is also an extraordinary source of knowledge; a good apitherapist has very complex background knowledge of areas such as biology, entomology, agriculture, beekeeping, veterinary medicine, biochemistry, pharmacology, natural therapies, clinical medicine, psychology etc., etc.
Probably the most important thing related to Apitherapy is that this old natural healing method can increase your general knowledge and can help you to help other people in need.
Main goals of AIC
The Apitherapy Internet Course has as main goals to:
· increase the exchange of Apitherapy related information between apitherapists from all over the world;
· teach its students all methods necessary in order to apply Apitherapy with good and very good results;
· teach its students how they can build their own Apitherapy Data Bases, and their own Apitherapy libraries;
· prepare the “ground” for future Apitherapy Clinics or Offices and local (national) further Apitherapy Courses;
· to teach its students that finally, they can better protect Mother-Nature and Human Beings through Apitherapy.
General structure of AIC
The Apitherapy Internet Course consists of over 90 Lessons presented in three levels.
Each Lesson is sent to the students via normal E-mail, as an attached Zip-ed Word document.
After each level, there is a period of free discussions, questions, and comments followed by a short break (normally 1-2 weeks).
The final examination is after level three, by which time all students should have a complete understanding of all of the Lessons.
The “examination” will consist of a series of 90-100 short questions (one question per Lesson), sent to each student by E-mail.
The students are required to send the answers back to the Course leader within 24 hours after receipt of the questions.
Students who score at least 70% correct answers will receive the “Certificate of Completion”.
This certificate will show that the holder has a strong theoretical knowledge of Apitherapy.
Before, during or immediately after the Course, each student will be helped to affiliate with one or more of the existing national/international Apitherapy Societies.
The practical aspects of Apitherapy (especially Bee Venom Therapy), will be learned by the student participating in “hands-on” practical workshops to be arranged, in co-operation with Apitherapy Consulting & Trading International, but also with the Romanian, German, Canadian, American… Apitherapy Societies or Apimondia…, depending on the location of the student. The workshops will reinforce the strong theoretical knowledge of Apitherapy obtained during the online Course.
The legal aspects of Apitherapy will be fully discussed at the end of the third level.
The general structure of the Course is very flexible, thus new Lessons can be included depending on requests received from the students.
The Course leader (Dr. Stefan Stangaciu) will offer students private Apitherapy counseling after the second and third level. This counseling will be free of charge. In addition, any questions put by the students during or after the Course will be answered free of charge.
Level ONE
The first 31 Lessons of the Apitherapy Internet Course have as their main goals the introduction of the students to the bases of Apitherapy. In this level will be presented in detail all necessary information related to the bee product origin, types, composition and characteristics. The importance of bees in Nature, humans, and animals will be also discussed in the first Lessons of this level.
After the receipt of Lessons via E-mail there will follow an active phase of discussions, questions, and comments.
It is important that each of the above-mentioned Lessons is completely understood before the Second Level of AIC will begin.
After the questions & answers phase, there will be a short break.

Homeworks
The student must make one PowerPoint for each Lesson of the Course.
All they need to do is to extract from each Lesson the most important paragraphs, then add, inside each slide of the PPT, the best photos/graphics they may find in Internet (Wikipedia is a good source).
These PPTs (after correction/improvement made by us) will be for the present student and future Apitherapy specialist an excellent “tool” to promote Apitherapy in his/her country and during all future lectures and conferences to be offered to the local/regional/national communities.
Level TWO

In this last theoretical phase of the Apitherapy Internet Course, the accent will be put on teaching the students on the best methods of bee products administration (posology).
Strong theoretical bases will be given also related to how “home-made” Apitherapy products can be obtained starting from “raw” bee products.
The main characteristics of the commercially available Apitherapy products will be also discussed.
Mass media presentations, co-operation with the local doctors and authorities and legal aspects of Apitherapy will be also parts of this last theoretical level.
Level three of AIC will have a stronger “practical” aspect.
That is why many Lessons will contain a lot of practical “tips” and “secrets” extremely important in order to achieve a high success in using the bee products for own health and/or practicing Apitherapy.
The full understanding of this level is also vital for the future use of Apitherapy oriented bee products. This level will offer to those interested in a lot of opportunities related to Apitherapy and different possible related “businesses” (manufacturing, distribution, counseling etc., etc.).

AIC Thesis
Starting with 2003 we decided to implement, before the Final Exam, another kind of a test, to see how big is the desire to learn of our AIC students.
Each student will be asked to write, before the Final Exam with the 100 questions, a small Thesis of about 30-50 pages, on any subject related to Apitherapy he/she likes most. The Thesis must be sent first as Word.doc and then as PowerPoint.
The Thesis can be used later on various ways, including during Mass Media interviews or on any communications/lectures/conferences the graduate will make in the future for his/her local and/or national health practitioners and beekeepers associations.
Final Exam
After 100 Lessons and answers to hundreds of possible questions, the time of the student’s examination will arrive…
This exam needs to establish that the students have achieved a strong theoretical base in Apitherapy and that they have a full understanding of its advantages and also its possible negative effects or even accidents.
The main goal of this exam is to give the student another useful “Lesson”. The one that will show that passing each exam can bring more “order” and deep “satisfaction” in the student’s mind, soul and spirit.
Thus, each student will have enough time (24 hours) to give the answers to the 100 questions.
The questions will be mainly from the given Lessons, but it may touch also non-discussed, but related subjects.
All answers will be analyzed by Dr. Stefan Stangaciu, the Course Coordinator.
In order to pass the exam, one needs at least 70% right answers.
The students who will pass this examination will receive the Course’s diploma (certification of completion) through normal mail.
The students, who do not pass this exam first time, will be offered the chance to participate maximum two more times in future similar exams.
If after these two other tests the student is still unsuccessful, he/she will need to go one more time through all AIC Levels as any other new student.
Certification
The Course Certificate obtained after a successful Final Exam will show that our student has a strong theoretical base in Apitherapy.
We will officially confirm that to all interested parties each time when this will be necessary.
Of course, unless the local/regional/national laws permit it, this certificate does not mean that a person who took part in our Courses and Workshops can open an Apitherapy Office, a Center or a Clinic.
However, when there is a great desire to help other people, legal ways to practice Apitherapy can be found, specific from case to case.
Apitherapy will have an ascendant evolution in the future. Many Apitherapy Clinics and later even Colleges will be built.
The fact that you will have already an Apitherapy Certificate before any other person, committee or college will even think about this healing method, will give you an important at least moral advantage.
Finally what is important is your desire to learn and to help other people to have a healthier life, not passing examination tests.
Knowledge and Love, the main goals we should all have in life, can be very well accomplished through this Course too.
Hopefully, you will you join it!
Fees
In order to make this Course easily available worldwide, we decided that the fees for the 100 Lessons + private counseling should be only 400 Euros. Discounts or even free Courses can be offered from case to case.
The Final Examination, sending the diploma, phone calls to students, private counseling etc. will be free of charge.
The fees can be sent by credit card, inter-banking wire transfer or PayPal to the address given personally by the Course’s leader.
Please note that any extra-fees required by banks for money transfer will be paid by the future students.
That is why, before sending the money it is always useful to ask the local bank about the best method to send the fees to the mentioned address.
The graduates of our online Course will benefit in the future from many discounts on paying different Apitherapy related services, on buying different bee products or just on accessing different Apitherapy electronic libraries.
Technical computer requirements
Most computer systems and software are sufficiently powerful to provide an excellent transfer of information between the students and us.
The minimal configuration is usually the following one:
Software :
Windows. Office. Word.
WinZip. If you have not this software, you can get it from www.winzip.com
The Course program is very flexible, there is no age or time-related limit.
Each participant can study when and where he/she wants to.
