This VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Aromatherapy course is an
advanced training programme providing a high level of expertise and enhanced
career opportunities. It is ideal for anyone aspiring to train and practice at a
high level and is an essential skill for any holistic therapist.
Aromatherapy is based on the usage of aromatic essential
oils, to improve psychological or physical well-being. The essential oils
are extracted from the parts of herbs and plants and contain all the properties
of the plants themselves. There are several ways of applying the oils, including
adding the oils to your bath, or inhaling them, but the most popular and
effective is through massage.
You will create a portfolio of assessments and undertake
theory exams that are essential for the completion of the qualification.

throughout the course. Assignments will be completed to ensure the understanding
of underpinning knowledge.

- Principles and Practice of complementary
therapies
