Essential Oils Refresher

Already a qualified practitioner but need to update your skills? Our refresher course is designed to bring you up to speed with the latest research and practices in essential oil therapy. With online resources and live tutorials, you’ll refresh your knowledge and refine your technique, keeping your practice current.

Key Features:

  • Tailored for qualified therapists
  • Update your knowledge with the latest developments
  • Flexible online study with expert-led tutorials

Returning to a therapy practice after a break can leave you uncertain about what knowledge you may have forgotten. Our Essential Oils Refresher Course is designed to help you confidently refresh your skills, covering all the essential oil knowledge outlined in the National Occupational Standards for Aromatherapy. The course is delivered in bite-sized modules, allowing you to progress at your own pace. While we recommend a thorough review of the first five modules, you have the flexibility to focus more time on areas that are less familiar to you and move quickly through topics you’re already comfortable with.

Tutorials

Three tutorials are included in this course.

  1. The first is generally carried out after you have completed the first 5 modules on the course, and is to make sure you are blending your oils and carriers safely and correctly.
  2. The second tutorial is generally booked half way through the course and will cover the two case study treatments you need to carry out. This is to check both that you are documenting the correct information and that you are blending correctly.
  3. The final tutorial is normally at the end of the course for you to ask any questions you have.

Email Support

Email support in available throughout your course, so you do not need to wait until your tutorials to ask any questions you may have.

Workbooks

As part of this course you will be provided with three  workbooks, covering aromatherapy theory, essential oil, and carrier oils. The workbooks are designed for you to produce your own guidance documents which you use when you return to practice. However, as a qualified  therapist you will have produced (a version of) these workbooks during your initial course, so may not wish to repeat this exercise (although it would be valuable to complete). Because of this, this course does not include the marking of the workbook. However, this can be added to the course by agreement with your tutor for an additional fee. 

Theory

The theory component is divided into 21 bite-sized modules, each accompanied by a short quiz to help you assess your understanding as you progress. The course provides in-depth coverage of 42 essential oils and 19 carrier oils. With access to detailed information on the platform and through your own research, you’ll complete your workbooks, building a comprehensive foundation in essential oils.
