FAQ’s

We are asked this question frequently and the answers remains the same, NO we do not teach children online. It is not possible to teach the children as a physical presence is vital for the child’s development, as it is for all types education. We only need to remember how it was for children during the pandemic when they were unable to attend school in person.

All teachers work with children between the ages of 6 and 12 only. There are some exceptions based on the level of maturity of a child and whether they have any emotional, mental and/or educational challenges.

Each child is assessed as to their age and suitability, however, all children must be willing and able to take part.

We have had many experiences and amazing results with these incredible children. 

The programme has the potential to assist them in many ways and certainly offers them the opportunity to enhance their senses and feel more at peace within themselves.

The children who have been through this programme have amazed and demonstrated incredible abilities.

It is however important to remember that they are children and will always have their own personalities and child like behaviours.

The programme is designed to enhance and assist them going forward in life and does not cause any harm.

Children are seen by independent teachers, individually, in their home location.

The ‘Academy’ is the title of the organisation that oversees the training and ongoing support of the teachers around the World.

Children may develop extraordinary abilities, however, this is already a part of their natural psyche.

When we were younger we would have been considered to be ‘playing with an imaginary friend’.

Each child’s development is unique and it is not possible to say prior to the programme if this is likely to occur.

This programme is designed to work with children one to one.

Children can be naturally competitive, which could hinder the growth of a child who is in the upper age bracket and/or lacks confidence and for many other reasons.

We have no expectations of any child.

The priority of this programme is to enable children to align with their natural abilities, to reach levels of self confidence and to believe in themselves.

Each child is unique and is taught accordingly. The programme has proven to be rewarding in many ways and has assisted children to develop even without being able to see blindfolded.

This is more than just an exercise in seeing blindfolded, it is an opportunity for children to develop innate abilities that regular education systems overlook or ignore.

There is a possibility that we can deliver this programme to children who have lost their sight.

However, we have not yet conducted a study and will endeavour to update this information when appropriate.

Unfortunately we will not be able to assist children who are born without sight.

Children, especially siblings, do not work together in the same session. This is because they can be naturally competitive and this can hinder the progress of one or both children. If however, both children are consciously seeing (reading blindfolded) they can join a session together.

ICU Academy is not a physical school, it is an energetic academy that holds space for all ICU Teachers, Parents and Children who engage with us to develop and enhance life skills.

All ICU Teachers are encouraged to see children within a radius that takes no more than one hour to travel to the location.

Children attend 1 hour sessions two times per week or weekly for 10 or 12 sessions. The sessions are one to one with a teacher and in person only.

The cost of each session is £30, £40 or £50 or equivalent in your own currency.

There is no difference in the training, the price structure is to give parents options based on what they can afford and/or what value they place on their Childs future.

This answer to this question is no, there may be a programme developed at a later date to accommodate adults. Should this happen a notice will be published on the Home Page of this website.

Children are our priority at this time, we feel that by engaging them in this practice from a young age has every potential for them to remain heart centred, left/right brain coherent and offer them the best start in life.

Nicola Farmer is the only Trainer of Teachers globally for the ICU Programme.

It is important that you have no distractions and you can focus on every aspect of the training. The teacher training programme is intense, filled with information that will assist personal development and how to be the best ICU Teacher possible.

No part of the training can be missed, especially as it is intense and parts cannot be repeated during the course.

Parents receive guidance before their child begins the ICU Programme. The minimum requirement is for a parent to engage with their child’s development, to have no expectations of the outcome and to encourage their child to be the best they can be, again without expectation. Parents are also be required to assist their child with Home Practice and to protect them from negativity and skeptics during the programme.
