We have chosen not to seek accreditation for our courses. Many individuals get stuck on the idea of an “accredited school”. After all, why study holistic and herbal medicine if you aren’t going to be recognized for your studies? Let’s dive into this very controversial topic.

First and foremost, stay away from any holistic school that states you will become a Holistic Practitioner who can diagnose patients. Holistic schools in the United States that make these claims are, we hate to say it, stretching the truth.

Why? Because, becoming a holistic practitioner, aromatherapy, or creating your skincare products are not officially regulated by any specific set of standards as of yet.

With that being said, schools and organizations that claim to uphold a certain set of guidelines, are not accredited bodies either. There are many well-established holistic schools that will choose not to be listed with these organizations. And until there is a system in place to offer licensing for the holistic practitioner, the School of Holistic Healing will operate as an independent holistic school as well.

By declining to be part of a larger holistic organizations, the School of Holistic Healing has been able to save thousands of dollars, and pass those savings on by offering affordable online holistic courses for students in the USA and across the world. Providing the resources and programs independently is the right decision to fulfill our mission as a school!

​

Because there are no set standards in the field of holistic practitioners, it is incumbent upon schools teaching holistic to offer the very best programs that they can for those who wish to further their education. To bring our students quality programs, we have built a team of holistic practitioners, clinical herbalists, herbal enthusiasts, skincare specialist, and a Certified Aromatherapist (CA) and “regular folks” who are all actively involved in our course development.

So, what CAN Holistic Schools offer accredited or not?

There are a number of holistic practitioners who are self-taught, and we praise those who take this route. However, the amount of resources available online and in libraries can be overwhelming to say the least! Studying holistics with a school can provide a safe and guided learning environment to master your holistic skills. Holistic schools also offer an opportunity to ask questions of educators and the chance to build community with fellow classmates.

Enrolling in our online holistic and organic programs will offer you the chance to become certified, which recognizes your passing of the course under the direction of the school and board of educators. This can be a valuable certificate to use in your educational experience when job searching or starting your own holistic practice. You can learn more about how to use your certifications by simply going to the individual course pages.

So, whether you decide to actively pursue a career as a Holistic Practitioner, certified aromatherapist or skincare specialist, we encourage you to fact check all your resources to be sure you are receiving the quality education you deserve. Don’t hesitate to contact the school with any questions you might have. Read our online testimonials and talk with our staff regarding what you are looking into. You can get in contact with our staff any time with questions about our online courses or for more information about the School of Holistic Healing feel free to check out our A+ rating on the Better Business Bureau.

We do try to encourage students to acquire a few good herbal reference books but not mandatory.

I don't live in the U.S. Can I still take your courses?

Anyone with an Internet connection can sign up for our courses! If you are wondering whether our courses meet specific standards for your country, you would need to check with your local regulations.

​

Can I share the course and log in with friends/family?

No, Practicing studies, recipes and demonstrations with a friend or family member may be fun and educational, however, sharing logins and course materials will result in account cancellation. Please do not share account or login information. Thank you for understanding.

​

What is the failed or declined payment policy? What if I don't pay all of my installments?

Students enrolled with a payment plan are responsible to pay the courses in full. Should there be a declined/failed payment, students must manually confirm the payment through their student account. If a declined payment is not paid within 2 months, the School of Holistic Healing reserves the right to cancel the student’s enrollment entirely. At that point, students will lose all of their course progress and any payments made towards the course. To continue with the program, students would need to re-enroll in the course without payment credit for past payments. If payment is not paid by the 3rd month the School of Holistic Healing will start collection proceedings at an additional $20.00 a day until paid.

​

Will you be offering any other courses in the future?

Yes, we are planning on adding an Herbalist course, How to create your own soaps, and  a Jr. Herbalist course.
