The Certificate in Professional Aromatherapy course is divided into ten modules with  a series of assessment questions at the end of each module. Assessment questions may include reading assignments, completion of an essay, a practical project, or something similar. These types of assignments are at high school/college level and are a lot more comprehensive than the assessments found in the Certificate in Holistic Aromatherapy course. Module 10 contains the final assessment required in order to receive your certificate of completion to meet NAHA level 1 and level 2 (combined) aromatherapy education standards.

An added bonus is the Facebook group that goes along with the program so you always feel supported by fellow students and Sharon.” Raquel L., VT
