Overview

Aromatherapy (AI) Online Course. 100 Hours Endorsed Certificate Course (TQUK - Training Qualifications UK).

Aromatherapy course online. Master the basics in aromatherapy! A great course for anyone wishing to learn more about the safe use of aromatherapy essential oils for healing and relaxation.

This ADL course has also been accredited by the CMA - The Complimentary Medical Association. Upon graduation, students will be eligible to apply for CMA Membership. CMA Members in all categories are recognised as the elite in their field.

The course offers a unique insight into not only plant knowledge specific to aromatherapy, but how the oils are produced and how they are used.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing treatment that uses natural plant extracts such as resins, balms, and oils.

Essential oil distillation goes back to the Persians in the 10th century, but first published as an aid to health in the 16th century in Germany. It is now widely regarded as beneficial for overall health and well-being.

There are a number of mediums used in the use of aromatherapy practices and include an oil burner or diffuser, steaminhalations, body applications using oil or lotion applied therapeutically to the body, infused tissues for inhalation and oils used directly into the bathwater.

A trained Aromatherapist can offer treatments and relief for a number of specific ailments, as well as balancing and restoring emotional well-being, improvement in mood, and temperament.

Not only will you understand the properties of essential oils but will also develop the skills required to create therapeutic blends, including all safety aspects attached to the subject.

Hello, May i know if this online "Aromatherapy - Endorsed certificate course (TQUK) is a TQUK Level 4 certificate course please. Thanks

Answer:

Hi Susie In terms of accreditation , we are not national framework therefore not on government list, however our courses are recognised & awarded by the Ofqual awarding body TQUK. They endorse our courses and benchmark the levels. Our courses are used by Companies (including the NHS) Colleges and Universities all over the world as Professional Development and do have standing on applications. So we do not benchmark ourselves against traditional qualifications. Kind regards Amanda White

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.
