Accredited Level 4 Clinical Aromatherapy Diploma (in-class and home study) 

​

What you will achieve:

This will give you a full practitioners diploma in clinical and therapeutic aromatherapy science and is recognised by the CNHC (UK voluntary regulatory body). It complies with and exceeds both the National Occupational Standards and the Aromatherapy Council's Core Curriculum. Therefore, once qualified you will be able to practise, gain insurance and register with the CNHC as well as becoming a full member of Complementary Health Professionals and all the benefits that brings you as a therapist.

What is better about blended learning and attending face to face training?

There are many courses available that are cheap and do not involve a great deal of effort or to attend any face to face training in a workshop - or perhaps just one day's training. You are given a video to learn a massage routine from. It is true that you can get insurance to practice from these courses but you are in no way considered a professional aromatherapist in the eyes of the profession and would not be able to register with the regulatory body or join a  recognised professional association. However, the main point is that you cannot develop clinical skills from watching a video. You also should not just repeat the same routine on every client. You need to develop the skills that will allow you to become a thinking therapist who can treat each person individually and adapt their treatment for their needs. You would not even think about going to a hairdresser who has learnt their trade by video let alone a therapist. So our course will give you the skills to become a trusted recognised therapist who will succeed in business.

 

Practical Workshops 

Your practical workshops are at our Thetford venue, of which you will need to undertake 96 hours of in-class training to comply with the CNHC core curriculum (completed over 6 weekends or 12 days but need two consecutive days at a time - we can adapt to suit the requirements of our students).  All essential oils, base oils and other related resources are provided for you, as are couches but you will need to bring your own towels for practical training. The dates for training are variable throughout the year as theoretical studies are completed at home. You can select dates with your tutor to come in for the practical training. Here are the options and modules:

​​Final Exams

Once you have completed all of the modules and practicals, including all of the coursework and case studies, you are then ready to take your therapy theory and practical exams, which are held on one day.  If you already have a recognised A&P diploma, you do not have to repeat it by doing ours. You will need to bring your completed portfolio to the practical exam to be signed off, which includes your case studies. An independent examiner from Complementary Health Professionals will assess you.

 

Course Costs

To make this affordable, you pay as you go and you can start straight away with your first online module, which will either be anatomy, physiology and pathology or the first aromatherapy module, covering the history of aromatic plants and a general introduction to the subject. For the cost of the A&P modules, these are £100 each.​​​

The aromatherapy theory modules are £150 each. The aromatherapy practical days are £120 per day. From this, using the chart above that relates to you, you can work out the total cost of your training, although we are also happy to confirm this for you via email if you would like to enrol.
