About Us

With 30 years of experience, the Australian College of Aromatherapy offers flexible, accredited courses that empower students to build fulfilling careers in natural health and holistic wellness.

Welcome to the Australian College of Aromatherapy (ACOA)

Here at the Australian College of Aromatherapy, we are committed to providing all our students with flexible, affordable, and quality distance education in the specialist field of aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy is a blossoming industry, and is fast gaining traction within the community due to a cultural shift towards natural health and living. This has never been more exemplified than in the popularity of natural beauty ranges, essential oils companies, aromatic candles, and the therapeutic application of scent to influence one's moods.

The Australian College of Aromatherapy has been at the forefront of this cultural shift, advocating for education and training in aromatherapy (and its natural complementary therapies) for nearly three decades. We are proud of our place within the Australian aromatherapy community, and are grateful for all the support we have received from other aromatherapy pioneers and all our students.

We know that, should you choose to study with the Australian College of Aromatherapy, you will be learning from the expertise of qualified and experienced aromatherapists in a supportive environment. Be part of this new aromatherapy age, enrol today!
