We offer the Certificate of Community Aromatherapy and Certificate of Professional Aromatherapy. Both courses are approved by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA).

We offer a FREE guide that discusses both courses and you can find it for download in our shop.

The Certificate in Community Aromatherapy is made up of 30 lessons over 8 modules. Each lesson has a short assignment to complete (either a table format or short answers). At the end of each module, you need to complete a practical project as instructed. If you take the assessment module, you will need to complete a 5-to-10-page research paper on a given topic, 5 case studies with clients (from family and friends), and a final examination.

The Certificate in Professional Aromatherapy is much longer with about 60 lessons and longer answer assignments (often an essay-style question of 1 to 2 pages). There are several practical projects to complete. You will also need to complete a 5-to-10-page research paper on a given topic, 10 case studies with clients (from family and friends), and a final examination.

There is no time limit to complete either course certification. However, we ask that you keep us informed if you intend to take a break for more than a year. Otherwise, additional course fees may be applied.

On average, most students take 6 months to complete the Certificate in Community Aromatherapy and 2 years to complete the Certificate in Professional Aromatherapy.

We no longer offer student kits of supplies for either course. But we can provide you with a list of supplies needed for each course upon request.

No. Both courses are independent of each other. The Certificate in Community Aromatherapy is designed for those who want a comprehensive education in aromatherapy for home and community use. The Certificate in Professional Aromatherapy is designed for the serious aromatherapist who wants to practice professionally and/or set up a line of aromatherapy products or businesses.

We offer payment plans through Paypal Pay Later (4 interest-free payments over 2 months) or Paypal Credit (interest free payments over 6 months). You will be given the option at checkout to select either of these options.

We also offer payment plans through Partial.ly. You will see this option listed on the relevant product page (valued at over $200). As we do not get paid upfront for this method of payment (unlike Paypal credit options), there is a 10% convenience fee factored into the cost of the plan.

Starting spring 2023, we will be offering our first automatically scholarship-funded aromatherapy program with the Certificate in Community Aromatherapy program!

There are many good aromatherapy schools out there. Here is how we differ from other schools:

• Although not a non-profit organization, we model our business on the L3C tax model. We are a low-profit, socially-driven business, offering high-standard, low-cost aromatherapy education for all.
• We offer scholarships. Guaranteed!
• We are hands-on. All courses are taught personally by Sharon Falsetto Chapman and are modeled on a mentoring program vs a standard aromatherapy course.
• We are online! No matter where you are in the world, we are accessible.
• We are small. You are not just a number. Each student matters to us – personally.
• We have designed our courses with our type of student in mind. Many of our students prefer the traditional (distance learning) option but we now offer live, virtual sessions via Zoom if you need more visual learning and interactive demonstrations of projects (not just a plug-and-play video!), giving you a chance to ask questions and interact with fellow students (if preferred).
• We are truly international, with students from 6 of the 7 continents of the world.
• Your tutor is British but has been living in the United States for 17 years. She is well-traveled and understands her students come from different backgrounds and all walks of life, with the challenges which come from that.
• Sharon herself took her initial aromatherapy certification via distance learning (more or less pre-internet days!) and has also taken live Zoom classes during the pandemic, giving her the best understanding of student needs for online education.

Membership School is our latest addition, and we couldn't be more excited to share our exclusive access to years of aromatherapy study and education collated and taught by our founder Sharon Falsetto Chapman. And all for ONE low fee a year! You will have access to recipes, worksheets, safety guidelines, photos, e-classes (all downloadable to save to your computer or tablet), and much more.

Short, hour-long or more classes on specific subject areas taught via zoom live (and recorded for download and purchase later as an on-demand class). Many aromatherapy e-classes form part of Membership School at no extra cost to members. However, they are also available to purchase individually to non-members and purchased in our shop here!

Yes! We offer live classes via Zoom for our Certificate in Community Aromatherapy certification course and short e-classes. For the Certificate in Community Aromatherapy, you can choose our one-on-one Virtual Aromatherapy Mentoring Program, exclusively with Sharon!
