Do I have to take an exam?

Yes there will be a final exam administered by the CFA for all Clinical Aromatherapy students and overseen by Essentria Aromatherapy School for an additional fee. The exam is fully online so no need to find a proctor, and can be written in the comfort of your own home. We do not build it into the course fee as not everyone who signs up wants to be fully certified and some sign up just for the knowledge.

There are quizzes throughout your course to prepare you for the final exam and when you are ready we will provide you with a study guide as well!

Why do I want to take a course that is recognized by the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists (CFA) and the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA)?

Credibility in the holistic world. You will be meeting a high standard of ethical and safety guidelines.

Are essential oils provided with the course material?

No, we find most students have already started to learn about essential oils prior to joining us and have some on hand to get started while they learn and grow their collection.

Do I need to take the anatomy & physiology course if I already have training?

Yes, it is a requirement for the CFA National Exam. However, if you are a certified health professionals (example: Doctor, Naturopath, Chiropractor, Nurse, RMT, Reflexologist etc) that has already completed extensive Anatomy and Physiology courses please contact us to discuss further.
