What Alina values in training
Alina begins by saying she has completed a course lasting one year — 00:01–00:24. Her main criterion is depth: with so much information online, she values a detailed exploration of a subject beyond an appealing course description.
She rates Alexander’s work highly. This is her personal assessment, not an independent comparison with other schools.
How she describes her year of study
She mentions practices and techniques, alongside twice-weekly meetings with Alexander throughout the year. Alina also names three included courses: Discover Your Purpose, People of Light and Master of Light — 01:02–01:33.
She interprets the materials through the image of Earth, the human being and the sky. This is how she describes different depths of study and the opportunity to revisit topics, rather than the school’s official numbering of levels.
How this relates to the current school curriculum
The website presents Gift of a Healer as the first level of the School of Healers: 104 lessons, practical assignments and feedback. The current fee is €100/month. These are the institute’s current details, not a reconstruction of Alina’s timetable or fees.
Before enrolling, agree the included materials, meeting leader, study workload, feedback and final document. Explore the levels and training terms.
Personal practice, working with people and the exam
Alina distinguishes two purposes: studying the approach for oneself and learning tools for working with people. She values the range of methods and the opportunity to choose suitable practices — 01:49–02:27.
Near the end, she says that students took an exam — 02:27–02:59. The recording does not describe exam tasks, grades or examples of Alina’s subsequent client work.

- 00:01
Hello everyone! Today I would like to share my review of the Gift of a Healer course, which I have completed.
- 00:11
The course lasted a year. I would say it is an enormous piece of work that Alexander Zharkov created and, more precisely, gave to the world.
- 00:24
I am someone who goes by feelings, and, of course, analysis [part of the phrase about analysis is unclear]. Especially given the enormous choice available online today.
- 00:34
You can drown in information. Very often there are courses that feel superficial, though perhaps I should not say that. For example, someone has not explored a subject deeply enough.
- 00:47
Yet they have already created a course or webinar and put it up for sale. There are often many marketing tactics. This course represents an enormous amount of work.
- 01:02
Alongside all the practices and techniques and twice-weekly meetings with Alexander throughout the year, Sasha very generously included three more of his courses.
- 01:19
They are Discover Your Purpose, People of Light and Master of Light. Looking at it all, I would describe the year-long course through the levels of Earth, the human being and the sky.
- 01:33
Master of Light belongs to the level of the sky, in my view. You need to grow into that information. When the spirit opens paths and knowledge to us, we come to it.
- 01:49
So you can keep going deeper into Master of Light. There are so many techniques and practices in the course, for everyday life and working with people.
- 02:03
The course is so versatile. I do not know how Sasha did it, but he brought together many methods to suit different preferences.
- 02:16
It depends on your purpose in taking the course. If it is for yourself, you will discover a great deal, and the course will allow you to change your life.
- 02:27
If you are thinking about working professionally as a healer, it is serious too. We took an exam. There are many tools for working with people. The course has remarkable depth.
- 02:42
A great deal of effort, work, attention and energy went into it. I am even running out of words. It is a very deep, substantial and multifaceted course, lasting a year.

What does the exam mentioned in the review mean?
Alina says she took an exam. The recording does not explain the type or status of the final document. Clarify the requirements and document for your chosen level before starting; the review does not establish a right to provide medical services.
