If you answered yes to any of these questions, we created the Aromatherapy Foundation Certificate Program with you in mind! The Foundation Program is an introductory course providing basic information for using aromatherapy for family, friends and self care.

The Foundation Program exceeds the educational requirements set forth by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy Level One Certification.

  • employed or interested in seeking employment in the aromatherapy field;
  • employed in the holistic health care industry and seeking basic aromatherapy knowledge;
  • seeking a gateway class to more advanced aromatherapy learning.

The Foundation Program is an important first step for those wishing to pursue a career in the field of aromatherapy and is a pre-requisite for acceptance into the Uncommon Scents Aromatherapy Practitioner Certificate Program. The Foundation Program exceeds the educational requirements set forth by the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy Level One Certification.
