Distance Learning Aromatherapy Diploma Course
The Distance Learning Diploma in Aromatherapy consists of four modules
designed for students who prefer to study in their own time. The learning
is based around the course notes supplied, background reading of aromatherapy
texts, which you receive with the course, and observation and performance
of massage techniques shown on DVD.
The student will need to complete each module and the required assessments
successfully before proceeding to the next module. Advice is offered at
every stage of the course through a personal tutor, enabling the student
to produce a high standard of work. A qualification in anatomy and physiology
is necessary before the Diploma can be awarded. The Anatomy and Physiology
Certificate Course can also be studied by distance learning.
Upon successful completion of the course a Diploma will be awarded. This
can be posted or presented at a special graduation ceremony, depending on
the student’s request. Students are advised to take between 12 and
36 months to complete all modules, although students are not penalised for
taking longer. While studying, the student may apply for insurance supplied
by the Academy block scheme as a student practitioner.
We are able to offer tutor support, via email or telephone so that the
student is able to receive help and encouragement at any time during the
learning process.
It is possible for a student to combine distance learning with in-house
modules to comply with some accrediting body’s requirements or simply
to vary the learning environments.
The course is assessed by:
2 ½ hour written examination in-house
2 ½ hour practical assessment in-house
150 hours of case studies
Continuous assessment by essay and assignment
