Upon successful completion of the  Aromatherapy Course you will be awarded the Penny Price –  Diploma in Clinical Aromatherapy. This can be posted or presented to you personally, at a special graduation ceremony.

You are advised to take between 12 and 36 months to complete all modules, although you are not penalised for taking longer. While studying, you may apply for insurance as a student practitioner.

We offer personal tutor support, via email and telephone (01455251020) so that you are able to receive help and encouragement at any time during the learning process.

The Aromatherapy Course is assessed by:

  • 2 ½ hour written examination in-house
  • 2 ½ hour practical assessment in-house
  • 50 hours of case studies
  • Continuous assessment by essay and assignment

Please note: Modules need to be taken in chronological order as the learning builds in this way.

To gain your full diploma and be issued with your certificate you will need to hold qualifications in both Anatomy and Physiology and Business Studies as core learning. If you already hold such a qualification to the same level, we would just need evidence of this.

n.b. Attendance on Module 1 is enough for those who wish only to use essential oils safely at home, to help their family and to enhance their own life.

The in house diploma course is accredited by the IFPA and the FHT and allows membership to a host of industry federations.
