Question:
I am pretty new to aromatherapy and would like to start studying again!
I am working full time and would like to find a school (home learning??) that either teaches in the evening or at week ends.
I have gone through different websites, but it is quite complicated as various diplomas are available.
What I am looking for, is a diploma that would allow me to maybe start my own practice one day.
I any of you have been in my situation, I would love to hear from uou and get some advice !
Thanking you in advance for your help

Hi Sophie!
I am new to this site and was just trawling through the messages in this forum when I came across this one. Its a bit late in the day and you may have found something already but here's my advice (for what its worth!!). I trained with the Tisserand Institute which has now ceased offering undergraduate training unfortunately, mostly due to lack of uptake. It is a great shame as it was an excellent course and I believe I received some of the best training available in the UK. However, several of the tutors from my course are now teaching at Neals Yard Remedies. I recently attended a post-graduate pregnancy course there and it was great value, highly informative and thorough. Based on this, I would definitely recommend training with them. Alternatively, you could contact the IFPA (www.ifpaaroma.org) who will give you details of accredited courses which will provide you with adequate training to build a successful practice, obtain full insurance etc. IFPA are striving to attain a uniform standard for aromatherapy training (something which, in my opinion, is much needed) and in order to be a full member, you have to subscribe to completing 36 hours CPD once you are qualified, so the learning continues. Student membership is good value and I think together with the insurance package too was around £50.
Hope this helps!

Hi Sophie
Try the IFA website they should be able to help you locate courses in London - the courses they recommend are all accredited by them - they are very helpful -
Good luck in your search
