What is a Certified Aromatherapist?
Many people want to know whether taking our courses will lead to their becoming a Certified Aromatherapist and the answer to this depends on what one means by Certified. I believe it is misleading to advertise that completing a course in aromatherapy will lead to a designation of Certified Aromatherapist. This is not an official Title Designation nor is it one that is recognized by any Governmental Body. All that this means is that this is what an Individual Instructor, School or Institution has decided to put on the Certificate it awards those who successfully complete their program. While it may be possible to get away with this title in other States or Provinces, here in British Columbia the regulations are very strict and no school may issue any of their graduates with a Certificate that says “Certified Aromatherapist”. Titles such as Certified are reserved only for those professions that are recognized under the BC Health Act.
