Find Aromatherapy Education That's Right For You

The following lists contain sources for aromatherapy education that appear to offer quality aromatherapy training, often providing qualifications to become (or start the process of becoming) a professional aromatherapist. These lists don't include individual classes for general education.

Of course, it's your responsibility to check out any training program that interests you to make sure it meets your needs. If you find a problem with a school on this list or know of one I missed, feel free to contact me with details.
