Learn Professional EMF assessment and mitigation in our guided online course and create healthier homes for yourself or others

Measuring the body for EMF radiation to see if the body is under stress
Regardless if you’re an amateur or already have a business in health or home construction. Regardless of whether you’re interested in protecting your own family from EMF radiation or if you’re looking to start a new career offering local EMF assessments and mitigation, the GEOVITAL EMF1 EMF Assessment and Mitigation course will give you the answer and skills you seek. Learn about EMF radiation in this professional course, taught by the only pioneers of this industry who came from working with patients.
Listen to a Heartfelt review about the EMF1 course by one of our many past students
We can sing our own praises as much as we like, but you probably might still wonder about our intent and values. Invest 3 minutes and list to what Kirstin Lynde from the USA has to say (to you) about EMF1 and her experience.
“…Patrick has an uncanny knack for explaining the complexities of EMF in a very easy-to-understand and digest manner… what I love most here is that Patrick approaches his business and urges us to approach our businesses in a way that’s very ethical and client-focused. When I hear the words, do the right thing by your client, you know, Patrick is the epitome of that, I think. And I think GEOVITAL is as well… His course, EMF1, was incredibly engaging…” (more in video)

Our Patient Approach to EMF radiation has taught us distinctions you don’t want to miss

What makes us so unique is easy to explain. In the early history of GEOVITAL (this all started in 1983!), we worked with the patients of our natural health clinic and with medical practitioners, such as doctors. When a patient goes to the doctor, the doctor investigates (assesses) the patient’s body. They take a blood, urine, or mouth swab sample to be sent for testing. It is about the body, so that is what you investigate. Right? So naturally, when it came to EMF radiation and the body’s exposure to it, we wanted to assess the body… not the air around it.
It sounds logical when you think about it, but other schools that teach EMF assessment (and their hearts are in the right place; they are lovely people) seem not to have realised this local insight. Other schools and their graduates don’t investigate the body. They assess the air. GEOVITAL assesses the body whenever possible, and this makes sense to our assessment clients, too.
Our health clients and students value investigating the body for EMF radiation
Students of the GEOVITAL Academy for Radiation Protection assess electric fields during in-person EMF3 workshop.
It is simple, really. The body is a big antenna. You know this. If you’re old enough and remember portable TVs or radios with antennas, you know the picture and/or sound got better when you held the antenna… You collected a better signal! The same applies to EMF radiation exposure.
We’ve seen this since early on in our history, since 1983… when the exposure is terrible, any meter will tell you so. But when the exposure is mediocre, air-assessing meters will too often tell you there is nothing to worry about, while body-assessing meters show the body is still under stress.
When home assessment clients are informed of this, they also want a consultant who investigates the body absorption of EMFs. It makes a lot of sense.

3 Types of People who do our EMF Assessment and Mitigation courses
No matter what reason you are interested, you are welcome, and not alone. Since 1983, we have seen typically 3 different reasons why people want to do a GEOVITAL course:
- Students want to support their own health and that of their family
- Students want to learn EMF radiation assessment and mitigation skills to start a new career or add it to their existing business as a therapist, holistic doctor, painter, electrician, architect, etc.
- Students have experienced wonderful health recoveries themselves after having had their home assessed by one of our consultants and then having mitigated the situation. Now they are curious and want to know how it all works.
Everyone is, of course, welcome, but as most people join us to start a new career and help (themselves and) others, we do tend to explain things from a ‘being a consultant’ perspective.
What is EMF1, the guided online course?
Since 1983, we have taught classes in radiation assessment in the traditional classroom setting. This has been great, but with the availability of live online meetings, GEOVITAL started offering online training well before Zoom was a thing. Since 2019, our Patrick has offered a slightly more detailed learning program that combines self-paced online learning through watching pre-recorded videos of him teaching with live online meetings where he teaches and reviews the material covered.
The EMF1 course allowed students a much more flexible learning path, and when we do come together for an optional in-person workshop, we can provide much more practical experience in assessing homes, which is, sadly, unprecedented and unrivalled in our industry. In the optional EMF3 in-person workshops, you actually go to homes and investigate them… this does not happen in ANY other course in the world. Our research showed that exactly that is what all students wanted after having done a ‘classic’ or traditional course.
Assessing a hotel room or makeshift bedroom setup with extension cords and portable circuit breaker panels is NOT the same as walking into a real home and having a (pretend) resident there to explain things to and do the home assessment with.
How does the EMF1 course work?
Some weeks before the start of the course, you get access to an online learning portal. Here you find some videos to watch before every live online meeting. You might spend about an hour watching videos, take some notes, and then meet with us for the weekly online meeting. Here, the knowledge of that week is reviewed or expanded on, and students ask their welcome questions for all to learn from.
This repeats for 5 to 6 weeks, and your knowledge and confidence will grow. In the end, if you purchase EMF meters, you will be able to assess your own home and others’.
This is how you learn a practical skill in an online course
Clearly we can’t hand you meters to practice a home assessment with during an online course, but we can show you on videos how to do them, and you can pause, rewind and replay as often as you like. Even while you are practising doing home assessments yourself, once you get your meters. But here is the amazing thing about the GEOVITAL EMF1 program…
BONUS: Fully supervised EMF home assessment of your own or any other home
For those students who purchase a kit of the GEOVITAL HF Field Probe (which assesses the body for RF radiation) and the NF Field Probe (for electric and magnetic fields) before or during the course, we offer to do a virtual home assessment under the supervision of your trainer or a senior consultant of the GEOVITAL Academy for Radiation Protection.
This represents a value of approximately 800 euros!
To do this assessment, you simply need a home to assess (could be your own, could be a friend’s home), someone there to ‘play’ the homeowner, and someone there to hold a smartphone with an independent data connection who will be our camera person and keep you in shot during the assessment. Your instructor and other invited students will watch you, and occasionally your instructor will pause you and give you some advice or assistance. An incredible learning experience for all involved, and given to you as a bonus for purchasing your GEOVITAL field probes.
GEOVITAL’s EMF1 course is the wise choice for starting professionals or curious amateurs
Why would you do just an amateur course without any professional assistance when you can do this professional-level course? You’ll learn so much more, can ask questions, and, should you build an interest in helping others, you can.
If your interest is professional to start with, why would you wait for an annual, much more costly course elsewhere, where they don’t even assess your body for EMF radiation exposure? Why would you invest a large amount of money in a course when you’re not really sure what it entails or whether this is a career path you want to take?
A quarter of what it used to cost
Students of the EMF1 program who enrolled in 2019 paid USD 1997 per person for this course, and were delighted with what they received.
We have, in 2026, decided to reduce the price of our program to about a quarter of what it was, because we’d like to help more amateurs who would rather seek knowledge than pay for a home assessment, and we’d like to enable more people in more countries to become consultants. Hopefully representing us, but that is everyone’s own decision. More people need help, and we need a lot more consultants out there investigating homes before people spend money on mitigation plans and products.

Perhaps you’d like to know the finer details of GEOVITAL’s approach to man-made (EMF) radiation that has supported it’s patient/health client-orientated 40-year history. Perhaps you wish to use this knowledge for yourself or you have an interest to professionally start helping your community. Either way, this online training experience is likely going to teach you all you need to know to get started and see what it is all about, before making large financial investing in time, travel or equipment, you can gain the knowledge, realise it is not too technical and get some ideas on how to run a business with these skills.
Considering the intimate size of the ‘class room’ with typically 6 to 8 new students at most and spending time with Patrick van der Burght as your mentor, although not cheap, the course offers very good value for money and saves you a lot in travel and accommodation.
What does a guided online EMF training experience look like?

Sometimes small assignments are due to be submitted or quiz questions to be answered online to review your understanding. Sometimes one on one coaching is done with Patrick or some of his senior consultants.
Online review meetings in real time
Using a Video Conferencing systems, Patrick van der Burght aims to create a personalised online classroom experience where knowledge can be passed on, reviewed and interaction between the students is valued. This means you are not on your own going through this process and your understanding is monitored and cared about.
Whilst most of the teaching is now done ‘on demand’ at your schedule in the online knowledge centre, by use of many videos, the live-online time is where we make sure you ‘get it’.
“The launch of Geovital’s online class in my opinion was a huge success! The class flowed well, the presentation was very professional and you were very attentive, kind and so easy to converse with. I’ve been in a lot of classes and you were definitely an awesome teacher.” Dina G, Arizona, USA
What is included, and what is missing, in an online EMF radiation course?
We believe we can guide you through the knowledge needed to start helping yourself or others with EMF radiation exposure. That said, online teaching has some limitations.
Included in this workshop are:
- Health effects linked to EMF radiation
- Geovital’s experience and success with EMF radiation avoidance and shielding as part of a multi-fasceted approach with the patients of our Austrian health clinic
- Electricity as source of radiation and different radiation types
- Assessment instrumentation explained and demonstrated
- Exposure guidelines
- Workflow of conducting a home assessment
- Demonstration of a home assessment
- Shielding solutions; types, suitability and application
- Understanding test reports and being able to identify and justify good performance products
- Application of shielding solutions
- Introduction (theory) to Geopathic Stress
- Mattress design problems and the Geovital answer to this
- Business start-up considerations.
- Access to Patrick’s ‘Office Hours’
Not included in this workshop:
- Practical teaching of Geopathic Stress detection and measurement
- Practical in-person experience assessing bedrooms or homes
- Business start-up sessions as offered in the Business Start-up course option
- Business bonuses as offered in the Business Start-up course option
- Opportunity to hold and experiment yourself with measurement instrumentation of the academy during class. You’ll be demonstrated how this is done. There is however a very exciting opportunity:
Guided Assessment of Your Home with Your GEOVITAL Meters*
*If, before or during the course, you purchase your own Geovital meters, which arrive with you before the course finishes, Patrick or one of his consultants will be able to guide (up to 4 students spread over the duration of the course) through the use of these meters in your own home! The other students have an opportunity to listen in on this process. This way, you assess your home with an expert looking over your shoulder and you and the other students learn from it.
“On a complex subject that one would otherwise have to spend years and years researching and learning through trial and error. Patrick’s course brings definition and clarity, in just a few hours. From the convenience of your own home and from a teacher whose expansive knowledge on the subject of radiation-free living is only surpassed by his genuine kindness and sincerity. I highly recommend this wonderful class.” Diane F, Florida, USA

Structure and duration of the course
The schedule of these online courses may vary between courses but typically the content is spread over 5 sections which are gone through over 6 or 7 weeks. Online you would typically be investing 4-5 hours per week to have the knowledge centre share the theory with you or see demonstrations of the use of meters or implementation of mitigation.
At the end of a section period (typically a week) there is a 1-2 hour online meeting with the other students to summarise and review what you learned that period. Going overtime may happen, so make sure to allow availability also some time after the expected finishing time.
The sections are broken up in subject areas like Radiation and Electricity, Instrumentation, Assessment workflow, Shielding Solutions and their effectiveness, Geopathic Stress introduction (theory only), Mattress health and finally a session on the Business side of things for those interested to start their own business assisting families.
The online knowledge centre (OKC) will give you access to sections of the course as time progresses so we focus on what needs to be focussed on that period. You access to the OKC can start when between when the previous online course has ended and before your course officially starts.
Assignments
In this course you’ll also be given assignment to do during the weeks.
These assignments have a ‘hidden’ value and form part of business later.
What is OFFICE HOURS?
For Patrick’s students, Patrick has committed to hosting a monthly or bi-monthly online video meeting with any of his students (past, current and future). You’ll be able to visit this meeting and listen in to the answers to questions that you or other students have submitted before the meeting.
The meeting is about 1 or 1.5 hours in duration, we use webcams to make it more personal and Patrick will go over the submitted questions. Sometimes you may be asked to elaborate or explain. Videos can also be sent in and shown during the meeting for all to learn from.
OFFICE HOURS is your ongoing (as long as we provide it) ability to ask your questions after the course.
Turn this course (EMF1) into Patrick’s signature EMF Business Start-up Course
This course is also referred to as EMF1. Patrick’s signature program, the ‘EMF Business Start-up Course’ contains this guided online training and knowledge centre, and then flows into EMF2 which deep dives into Business Skills, creates a website for you and offers supervised online assessment practice opportunity. Then EMF3 can be done which is a practical focussed live-workshop where you’ll do EMF home assessment in homes with just a few fellow students and learn about Geopathic Stress assessment skills.
Given the value of the skills learned in EMF2, this is good to be purchased at the same time as your EMF1 so you can learn quicker how to set your new business up well. Find out more here.
Different time-zones catered for

Courses are typically ran from Patrick’s base in Australia. Most scheduled early in his day to make participation from North and South America, the Australasia region, and even Europe easy in their afternoons/evenings and nights.
I’m really grateful for your clear, knowledgeable, and diligent work throughout the Webinars . It was really worthy for me. You made it easy for me to understand concepts outside my professional field in two ( >22hours!) weekends! I also appreciate your friendliness and the ability to motivate all of us. Thank you! – Maria Alcantara, UK
Investment
The online course offers very good value considering the flexibility it offers with the online knowledge centre and time spent with Patrick or his senior consultants in this small group of students.

Frequently asked questions
How similar can an online course be to a live-workshop?
The only thing we can’t do in relation to a live-workshop is to hand you instruments and you have a go at operating them. This is an undeniable difference. The way we try to work around this as best as possible is to offer to those who wish to buy the instrumentation before or during the course (and receive it during the course) the opportunity to have them assess their own home whilst Patrick or senior consultants (and the other students) watch and tweak their approach. This is never part of any live-workshop and could be seen as quite a valuable bonus.
What is missing in the online course that I would experience in the live-workshop?
Geopathic stress is taken very seriously by Geovital and all its consultants. It is part of every bedroom assessment we do because we have seen the enormous impact it can have on health over time and how much a health recovery can be helped by having it addressed.
Geopathic stress theory is covered in the online course but we can not teach you how to find specific geopathic stresses, identify them, measure their stimulation factor, and therefore determine which counter measures are appropriate. Because online-course attendees lack this training and ability, they cannot become official Geovital consultants or affiliates just yet until they have had this training during a live-workshop (We can still support their business efforts as freelancers though).
Use of instruments
In a live-workshop, we can hand you instruments to hold and try out. Online we cannot. However we give you many videos showing the process and also videos of actual home assessments being done. If you have questions you can of course ask.
How long does a workshop take and how confident will I be to do this work afterwards?
During the course, you learn the theory of EMF radiation and assessment, as well as mitigation in great detail. Often, doing assessments for family and friends is a good place to start once you have acquired the instrumentation. Before you know it, you have built up experience and are starting to become very knowledgeable. The Geovital office is always there to help its representative and affiliates. We would, for example, assist your clients (while respecting that it is your client) with a ‘new home’ building consultation as this is an area that you’d be out of your depth for a while until you’ve gained experience ‘on the job’.
Do I need to be a doctor or a therapist?
Offering EMF radiation home assessments can be run as a stand-alone business. There are enough homes needing to be assessed and sadly, enough people with chronic complaints due to their unhealthy homes. Also many health-conscious people (see Gabi’s story) wish to live as healthy as possible. If you are not a doctor or a therapist, you could network with those professionals and help their clients.
What should I expect in terms of expenses to do assessments after the course?
We have come to the stage where we have designed our own instrumentation and if you desire to become an official GEOVITAL representative, you will need to have the GEOVITAL EM Field Probe and the GEOVITAL HF Field Probe as a minimum to help our patients/health clients get to the right decisions about their situation. It usually earns itself back fairly quickly and we have attractive pricing on these items during the workshop for the students because we realise these are your working tools… but you do need to budget for it as a business expense. Ask your local office now about a price indication of the cost of these tools.
What is required to be done to become an official Geovital consultant after this online course?
To become an official Geovital consultant takes a little more. Firstly, we do require our official Geovital consultants to use instrumentation we deem appropriate and this is typically our field probes because we feel, based on our experience, that health clients receive the best assessment using these.
Secondly, you will need to do a live-workshop to learn the assessment skills for geopathic stress in order to be considered for being an official Geovital consultant. We say ‘considered’ because we’d like to meet you and of course we only want people representing us who fit the family. If you’re passionate about improving the world and health of those around you, in an honest way, then you should be fine. We can’t just say ‘everyone’ can be an official Geovital consultants because some people just don’t fit. An agreement would also come into place which protects our brand, the relationship and the investment of time we will make in you to help you.
Official Geovital consultants also become our highest priority when it comes to referring inquiries from new health clients for assessments and they actively go out to promote their home assessment business. An online profile may also be part of this. We have found in the past that consultants who mix different brands of products confuse clients who are expecting the Geovital representative with the Geovital approach to step through the door. The relationship we have with those representing us therefor also includes this professional to work only with our solutions and not with competing alternatives. An approach makes sense for many reasons including the profitability of your business, but it is a business decision you have to make. We’re happy to work with you at whichever level you are comfortable with.
Having done the online-course may see you be granted a substantial discount on doing a live-workshop. You have to approach the Geovital school in question about this or ask Patrick van der Burght about this possibility.
Why is the way Geovital assesses radiation different?
We use the term patient as we are originally a health clinic in Austria. For those areas where the word patient is restricted to use by medical doctors, please read ‘patient’ as ‘health client’.
What if I miss an online class session?
How long do I have access to the online knowledge centre?
I’ve done the course in the past. Can I access the knowledge centre?
You are most welcome to join us in Patrick’s ‘Office Hours’. Just ask.
