Aromatherapy - Gentle Touch

About the Gentle Touch Aromatherapy Certificate

Out of all of the complementary therapies, aromatherapy is one of the most commonly practised and widely appreciated. This is likely because of its therapeutic and cosmetic benefits and its positive effects on psychological wellbeing. This course aims to provide students with an introduction to aromatherapy and give them the skills to practise it independently.

In order to complete the qualification, students will need to work through 10 engaging distance learning modules. These units cover everything from the history of aromatherapy and the human body, to essential oils and how they work. The course also teaches students how to use aromatherapy in the home and garden, and how to use it to combat stress.

Who should study this course?

This online distance learning qualification is a great starting point for budding aromatherapists. However, it is also suitable for individuals with a general interest in aromatherapy or those who work in beauty therapy and want to expand on their knowledge.

Learners do not require any prior qualifications before they enrol on this home study programme. All we ask is that students are interested in learning about aromatherapy and that they have the motivation to succeed via distance learning.

What happens after the course?

Once students have completed this aromatherapy course, they will have a fundamental understanding of aromatherapy and how it works. This knowledge will allow students to begin practising as aromatherapists and developing a client base.

Some students may choose to build on their knowledge and study towards a higher level qualification with learndirect. Others may decide to channel this new knowledge into their lives or their existing careers. Careers which relate to this course include:

  • Aromatherapist
  • Masseuse
  • Beauty therapist

I had a great experience with the Learn Direct team member (Harley) who helped me. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made the enrolment process simple and stress-free. He was patient, professional, and very supportive throughout. Thanks to his help, I felt confident enrolling on my course. I really appreciate his excellent customer service and would highly recommend Learn Direct.

I'd had a full afternoon of looking at the course I was interested in and found it was a minefield which my brain was having an issue with lol. Eventually I found and went throu Learn Directs page but I was still uncertain and eventually used the talk facility which was answered by Callam. He answered all of my questions quickly and efficiently and as my questions became more in depth he suggested we talk on the phone which I agreed to. I am so glad I did as Callum had a wealth of information about the courses I was interested in. There was no pressure and assisted really well in choosing the right course for me. Because of his genuine interest, his breadth of knowledge and smashing telephone manner I signed up there and then and am looking forward to getting stuck in. As an older mature lady with much life experience this was an absolutely refreshing change. Thank you Callum
