Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I am having a hard time believing that all of the Aromatherapists on this site don't know of one single reputable online school to receive training and credentials from?? Can somebody help me? As you all know, doing a web search returns many options, none of which I have ever heard of nor have experience with, so I am having a very hard time weeding out the duds.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Chris, I don’t know “Dr. Christopher†but I’ll try to help answer your questions – M.H. most like means: Master Herbalist. Question is, who gave him that designation? There are no “official†sources of such a designation. Various “licensing†groups and “schools†bestow that designation on those who go through their program. After much searching, the one source that seems reputable is The American Herbalist Guild (http://www.americanherbalistsguild.com/). ND: Naturopathic Doctor. I’d want to know from where he received his education. As you have seen, a google search will land you thousands of hits whether searching for “herbology†“herbalism†or “aromatherapyâ€. All are more than happy to take several thousand of your dollars and give you a “certificationâ€. That certification doesn’t mean ditty squat as the bestowers of the certification have no standard to base their “schoolâ€. Just my 2cents worth… Tina P., MS l On Behalf Of -= Chris =- Monday, April 19, 2010 5:26 AM oils herbs etc Re: Herbology Very interesting. Can you please elaborate on the title of " Dr " . Dr in what? Field? Institution that awarded this degree/title?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi Kathi, I've asked similar questions on both aromatherapy lists and herbalist lists. I've googled for hours. The truth is, no one is answering your question because there are no " reputable " schools. There are plenty who will give you credentials, for a price. I've yet to find one who will even give you a decent idea with their " training " consists of prior to forking out the money. That tells me they aren't legit. There are no national standards. There is no national standards board. Being a " certified " aromatherapist or herbalist doesn't mean a thing other than you had the money to pay for the piece of paper that says you are. Me? I'm going rogue. I have a base upon which to build from my studies at Univ of Bridgeport. I'll finish my education on my own. Tina P.

One thing you should be aware of Kathi... In the US there is no standard set of credentials for what an Aromatherapist is... Technically....the only cert or whatever a school can award is a certification that someone attended the school, passed their exams, etc.... So...if someone is claiming Certified Aromatherapist in the US, all that means is they went to some school... I'm sure there are good schools out there, but I cannot advise you there... In my sig lines I mention A.J.P. (GIA)...That is a completion of a program of the GIA that I did....Stands for Accredited Jewelry Professional..It means I know what the hell I am selling/talking about very fundamentally when it comes to jewelry and gems... The GIA are the folks that invented the 4C's when it comes to diamondspeak...The GIA has no licensing powers related to Gov't standards and such...However, it is recognized throughout the gem/jewelry industry, and has been such for quite a while... By completing that program, I am entitled to use those letters with my name...And GIA has recognition, as I said... That's the kind of thing you are pursuing... -- Gary W.
