You will study 70 essential oils within this course. The standard syllabus for a Level 3 qualification is 42 essential oils. Aromatherapists are only insured to use oils they have been trained in using. Therefore the inclusion of a further 28 oils in this course will extend the range that you will be able to use with your clients.
As well as studying all the basics of aromatherapy, and several different types of massage (full body, facials, seated and pregnancy), the course contains various advanced aromatherapy topics ranging from using oils in palliative and cancer care, and women’s health, to working with those with neurological conditions (including autism, ADHD and sensory processing disorders), to working with subtle energy techniques.
We also cover product making, engaging in creating blends for various products such as creams, sprays, shampoos and aroma sticks etc. Some of the blends will be added to pre-made base products, but you will also be taught how to make some products from the raw materials, and we will cover good manufacturing practice, and correct labelling requirements.
