Is there a common, generally acceptable core body of knowledge that is innate within the field of Aromatherapy?
The final examinations reviewed by the Steering Committee showed a clear common, core body of underpinning knowledge throughout the United States and Canada within the comprehensive field of aromatherapy. Questions from these examinations form part of the “item bank” and will be used as the pool from which the exam questions are drawn. The process each item (question) goes through is explained further below. Subsequently, the exam leading to ARC registration is broad based covering the generally acceptable body of knowledge of Aromatherapy. It is applicable to more than one profession.
