Overview

Accredited Holistic Herbalism Diploma Course Herbal Medicine (Free Previews In The Curriculum Section Below)

Walk the path of the Herbalists of old, learn plant astrology, sacred earth festivals, plant lore, plant consciousness in this online, on-demand, video training course.

Enjoy this accredited holistic herbalism diploma course which takes you on a journey that many a wise herbalist has walked over many centuries, where our herbs were our medicine and were so much more than just plants for eating. The holistic herbalist looks at the person or animal from a "whole-istic" perspective from the pysical, mental, emotional and spiritual and works with the plants on this level too. The path you will follow will be the same as theirs, a journey of discovery that involves so much more than just how to grow herbs.

In this "soul-full" course you will gain a deeper understanding of the plant soul and what it means to work with them on this level. It is a journey that dates back 70,000 years ago, to ancient Egypt, Greek Gods, Hipocrates, the planets, the elemental kingdom, the druids, the pagan sacred earth festivals, folk lore, plant consciousness, and plant emotions. Not only that but we will focus on 28 herbs from our beautiful herb kingdom and look into detail at the potentials for healing that these bring, and if that isn’t enough there is even a bit of chemistry for those with a scientific brain, but don’t worry I have made it easy to understand.

The material is very thought provoking and should take you to whole new level of realisation about our amazing herbal kingdom.

Is this course possible using a mobile phone with large memory rather than a laptop? Is there a written or spoken exam in order to pass/complete?

Hi, yes possible but you might be wise to find a friend with a laptop to download all the course materials so you can study off line, the local library allows this too. The online tests are all multiple choice so you can do them online x

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
