"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."

"I really loved my time studying with the Australian College of Aromatherapy. I gained valuable knowledge on not only the benefits of essential oils, but the safe and professional use of them as well. I also really appreciated the choice of electives and was grateful for the opportunity to explore in more depth the areas of aromatherapy that were of special interest to me. Thanks so much!

Tallis Bartlett - Graduate
