I have taken many certification courses on aromatherapy but nothing compares to the Aromatherapy Certification Program by the Lorrie Hargis International School of Aromatherapy. I liked the material covered such as the safety in handling essential oils, precautions to be taken, ethical procedures, privacy of clients, as well as the excellent staff available to answer questions as they came up. I really enjoyed the continuing education, webinars, interaction with other aromatherapists, and valuable use of a library full of documents.
