International Academy of Applied Health Ottawa ON Canada

“Providing Quality Natural Health Education since 1980”

This year the Academy is celebrating its 41st year and has evolved into being one of the foremost academies in its field. The Academy is unique in the world because of the wide range of teachings from the old and the new Natural Health Disciplines and its strict adherence to the highest standards.

The co-founders were Sir James Marshall and Dorothy Marshall Ph.D.(Hon.), N.D.(U.K), N.H.P., who together with an inspiring group of originating faculty, established the educational pillars of the Academy in April 1980 and implanted the “dedication to excellence” that exists today.

While the Academy attracts International Students, it is 100% Canadian-owned and dedicated to excellence in healthcare education. On August 1st 2023 the Academy was purchased by triOS College Business Technology Healthcare which is operating it as the triOS College Ottawa campus. triOS College is a private career college with 9 campuses across Ontario focused on providing practical hands-on training that students need to be successful in their chosen careers.
