Aromatherapy Practitioner

Our Aromatherapy Practitioner Class is idea for those who wish to study the therapeutic use of essential oils, absolutes and hydrosols. This class will take you on a journey of discovery as you learn about the historical origins of aromatherapy right through to the modern day application, research and science behind how and why this amazing holistic therapy works.

Not only will you learn about the fascinating world of aromatherapy, but you will also take an in-depth look at over 70 essential oils and absolutes, 20 carrier oils and 15 hydrosols. You will also find details and recipes on how to make a wide variety of aromatherapy based products for the mind, body, spirit and also for your home!

Once completed, in order to receive your certificate which will then allow you to obtain insurance so that you can practice your new therapy on the public, you will need to submit a selection of case studies (50 case studies to be exact). These case studies will take the place of the final assessment.

After you have completed this class, you will then be able to access our further 'advanced' aromatherapy class - details of which can be found on our Aromatherapy Classes page.

As a final thank you for completing this class, you will also be entitled to set up a Practitioner Account over on the Sons of Asgard website, which will then mean you will receive 10% discount all Aromatherapy Supplies - including essential oils, absolutes, carrier oils, hydrosols, base materials, pre-blends plus all the glass bottles, jars and blending equipment you will ever need!

Please note that this class will qualify you as an Aromatherapy Practitioner - NOT an Aromatherapy Massage Practitioner. You would need to undertake one of our Massage Courses in order to be able to create products to then apply directly to a client. This class teaches you how to create a huge variety of products that you can create after a consultation with your client, to which you can then give them directions on how to use them on themselves. If you already hold a massage qualification, then this class will allow you to add 'Aromatherapist' to your current insurance scheme. It is also worth noting that our insurance provider will only insure you for the oils and other materials that you have learnt to work with during this class. More oils can be studied in our advanced Aromatherapy Classes after completion of this class.

PROFESSIONAL, CERTIFIED & INSURABLE COURSE

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive a Certified Diploma which is fully accredited with the IPHM and recognised for insurance purposes by Westminster and Towergate Insurance.

For those who wish to obtain insurance cover to practice their new skills on the public, after you have completed this course, we will give you details on how to go about obtaining insurance through our insurer to ensure you are fully covered.
