Dates for your diaries September 2026 Intake!
Aromatherapy, Essential Oil Practitioner and Reflexology Diplomas
This is the complete timetable for theory training. All theory classes are online and start at 7pm till 9.00pm (GMT)...depends how much we chat 😁
All practical training, where applicable, will be arranged on an individual basis.
Each student will get their own individual Structure and Schedule contracts.
‘The Book’ means working through each of the 5 modules of my book covering the 54 oils you will be learning about. This will give you first-hand experience of the oils as you work towards your own personal ‘Dreams and Aspirations’ and addressing any issues you might have personally. It is also a working model that you can use in your Clinic to assess your client’s needs. What better way than to put yourself through the process first. All will be revealed 😊 . There are a further 17 EO’s which I call ‘The Poisons’, which have to be looked at (Core Curriculum requirements), but you won’t be using in Aromatherapy, certainly not on the skin. Reflexology students do not need to study The Poisons.
'Aromatherapy' covers all the theory and practice of Aromatherapy and to be completed by all students.
'A&P' is Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, with particular emphasis on pathology and the relevant Essential Oils. You will not be required to sit this module if you already hold an A&P level 3 minimum with a stand-alone certification. But it will still be useful as we look at Pathologies and relevant essential oils. This will have been discussed at your interview.
Practical hands-on training. All practical training (UK only) will be at your locality or at my home. Essential Oil Practitioners don’t have hands on training.
