Full level 3 VTCT Aromatherapy course
No previous experience or formal qualifications are required to take this course, although all candidates are advised to discuss the course with Jackie James, the school principal, before they enrol to ensure this is the right course for them and they understand the commitment required.
The course is comprised of:-
Weekend theory and practical sessions (approx 1 per month)
Online content, including video and audio
Self study assignments
Case studies
Production of an evidence portfolio
Email and telephone support throughout the course
Tutorials
Practical assessments
Although the course covers 19 carrier oils and 42 essential oils, for many Aromatherapists, because some oils have a short use by date, this is too many to keep in their Aromatherapy kit. So on this course you are encouraged to build up a set of carrier and essential oils which really suit you.
