Latest News - Aromatherapy practitioner training now available, and information on the Summer School Short Courses
The College is delighted to announce that we now offer training in the Certificate IV in Aromatherapy at the College, commencing February 2012. This qualification is designed for students wanting to gain the skills needed to be a basic level aromatherapist, and is suited for work in a clinic, aged care facility, a health service or a spa facility, where this involves giving basic aromatherapy treatment. It is also suitable for those wishing to work in manufacturing or retail areas of aromatherapy. For practitioners in other natural therapy disciplines, such as massage, this is a qualification that beautifully complements their other skills.
For more information, please download our training and assessment strategy for this qualification. We are still in the process of timetabling the qualification, and will release a new version of our timetable shortly.
