Course Description

Distance learning course of 25 lessons

This course covers herbal medicine, aromatherapy and flower essences - all therapies that use plants in some way or another. At the end of this course you will understand and hopefully will have learned a lot about the herbalist theories associated with plants. You will not be qualified to stock your own herbs or to sell to the public but you will be able to treat any client using tinctures and herbal remedies that have been purchased from manufacturers and also to keep your own family and friends healthy, with home grown herbs.

You will also be able to make up externally used herbal remedies like poultices for any client. You will also understand the theory of aromatherapy but alas not the practical massage. Flower essences do not require such a practical course and are harmless yet potent medicines for many ailments, especially emotional, mental and spiritual.

Tutor Support

With this course you will have unlimited access to your own personal tutor who specialises in their field of study. It is your personal tutor's role to ensure that you receive constructive feedback and to deal with any queries you may have. You are more than welcome to telephone, fax or email your personal tutor.

You will also have access to a dedicated and friendly team of administrators and course advisors who offer sound and professional guidance and advice when you need it. This ensures that you will never feel neglected and that you will always succeed!

Assessment Method

After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking. This method of continual assessment ensures that your personal tutor can consistently monitor your progress and provide you with assistance throughout the duration of the course.
