Re Emily

[Guest guest]

Hi Emily. You say you are an aromatherapy student. What sort of course is it,

and is it a professional one, leading to you becoming an aromatherapist? I just

ask cos I am gathering info at present and the only local one I've been told of

is the I.H.H.T . Maybe it depends where you live in the UK. I'm from

Sunderland.

 

Welcome to the list, Emily, I am new to it too!

>Just a quick comment on IHHT - I have aromatherapy & reflexology diplomas

through them, but they are, in my experience,beauty orientated' in the main,

& depending on what you want to do with your qualification their award may

not be advanced enough (e.g. if you wish to,say, work in hospital they may

require a qualification which is AOC or IFA approved) I was happy with mine,

& did a lot of reading & learning on my own ... but now, thinking that at

some stage I will want to use AT more, have gone about 'upgrading'. I

originally intended to do it at some 'approved' establishment .... Shirley

Price is an example but there are lots more who the AOC recognise. I have

actually started a degree course BSc Complementary Therapies (Aromatherapy)

....... think it's going to be hard work, but I am a nurse...... the

authorities seem to want all RNs educated to degree level, & I decided I'd

rather do a degree in something I wanted to do , & kill 2 birds with 1

stone. There are a few degree/ higher education courses in existence,

although not in abundance.

 

Good luck in whatever you do.

Best wishes, Jean
