Course Overview
This online parapsychology course for paranormal investigators explores experiences and events that challenge conventional scientific understanding. Through a series of structured modules, you'll study extrasensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), post-mortem survival, and the psychological and scientific principles used to research these topics.
You'll begin with the foundations of parapsychology, how the field emerged, what it studies, and why it continues to intrigue both believers and skeptics. The early modules cover phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and hauntings, showing how researchers have attempted to test these claims under controlled conditions.
The ESP module examines how information might be perceived beyond the five senses, reviewing experiments from early card tests to modern Ganzfeld studies. The psychokinesis module looks at the reported ability to move or influence objects using the mind, exploring famous cases, theories of energy fields, and controversies that surround PK research. The post-mortem survival module investigates consciousness beyond death, from apparitions and near-death experiences to past-life memories, analysing evidence and alternative explanations.
You'll also study the psychological perspectives that shape paranormal experiences, including cognitive biases, suggestion, and perceptual errors such as pareidolia. These insights help separate subjective experience from measurable data.
Finally, the research methodology section explains how parapsychologists design and evaluate studies using falsifiability, replication, and peer review. You'll learn how scientific tools are applied to extraordinary claims to keep research objective, balanced, and credible.
By the end of this course, you'll understand the key theories, methods, and challenges involved in scientifically studying psychic and paranormal phenomena, and be able to evaluate claims with informed, critical insight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a recognized qualification?
Unfortunately, due to the unknown nature of the paranormal, no qualifications in this field are academically recognized. Even if they were, they would be of little interest to prospective employers. However, we've worked hard to put together a course that is designed to help you widen your knowledge and give beginners the confidence to go out and get involved in the paranormal.
What makes this course different from others?
Most online parapsychology courses focus on the history of parapsychology, including famous names and societies. Our course is different, we aim to give you useful and practical knowledge, which is why we prioritise the learning of the psychological principles that apply to parapsychology and the study methods used to research psychic phenomena.
When can I access the course material and for how long?
Once you enroll on this course you will get instant access to the course material. A summary of modules and lessons can be seen in the course curriculum above. You have unlimited access to this course, even after you have completed your final assessment, allowing you to revisit topics whenever you like.
How long does the course take to complete?
The average completion time from the point of purchase to passing the final assessment is 47 hours, but as you have unrestricted access to the course, this is really up to you. While it's possible to work through the course material in a few hours, we recommend taking your time in order to let the information soak in - a few hours per day is ideal.
Each module has an end-of-topic test. It's not a requirement to achieve a certain score in these tests, but your score will give you an indication of the knowledge you've gained during the module and also highlight any gaps. You should then go back and revisit the module to ensure there are no gaps in your knowledge, as you'll need a good understanding of the topic to complete the final assessment, which requires an 80% pass.
Will I receive a certificate?
A digital certificate of achievement you can print yourself will automatically be emailed to those who achieve a grade of 80% or higher in the final assessment. There is also the option to have a physical copy posted to you instead, which is normally dispatched within fourteen days of the course's completion. If you fail to achieve the required score, you are able to revisit the course material and try again as many times as you like. Certificates are professionally designed and printed. We hope they will be a keepsake of what we hope will be an enjoyable course.
What is digital accreditation?
As well as a certificate of achievement, a link will automatically be generated that you can share or link to. The web page will include your name and details of the courses you've completed. You can add the link to your website or blog to show that you are qualified in this specialty field.
