"You won’t be disappointed.

If you are looking to broaden your knowledge, establish a complementary therapies business or simply for personal fulfilment then I highly recommend you give Australian College of Aromatherapy a go.

Excellent course content, great support and knowledgeable tutors. That’s why I continually come back to ACOA for my ongoing professional development”

ALAN GUYMER - Graduate

"Thank you ACOA! My business is starting to grow.

I chose Clinical Aromatherapy and the electives. At one stage I didn’t think I could get through all the modules and hold a full time job, but Michelle would continue to engage with me and would let me know that I was almost there.

It showed me that at any age you can gain qualifications with confidence from the support to get from the college.Then to my surprise I enrolled in another Diploma. This was an easy process of RPL which helped work out how many modules were left."

Debbie McRobie - Graduate

"Would I recommend this training to others - YES I HAVE!

I found the overall training excellent, the academic information excellent, the practical training above average, I learned what I wanted, and I am interested in attending an advanced training workshop."
