Course Description:
In order to ensure you get the best Aromatherapy qualification available (and don’t have any problems with the recognition of your Aromatherapy qualification in the future) our Aromatherapy Courses follow the latest ITEC QCF (Qualifications Credit Framework) syllabus which was introduced by the UK Government in September 2009 (and revised in September 2012).
You will learn how to perform a full Aromatherapy treatment confidently incorporating all the classical aromatherapy techniques so that you can practice professionally as an individual practitioner or as a member of a team in a multidisciplinary setting.
You will be confident in explaining the taxonomy, nomenclature, significant chemical constituents, therapeutic actions, most beneficial methods of use and safety data for over 60 essential oils. You will be able to blend the essential oils appropriately and perform and adapt your Aromatherapy treatment techniques correctly and safely to meet the individual needs of your client.
You will be able to confidently identify factors that may influence your treatment objectives as well as provide clear recommendations to your client.
