The 4th Edition Aromatherapy Correspondence Course consists of:
1) The Main Course Book
The Main Course book is a spiral-bound 358-page volume consisting of six parts. Its content is the subject of the exam questions.
2) The 4th Edition Aromatherapy Course Essential Oil Collection (valued at $ 500)
The Course package includes 32 essential oils in two pouches with 16 oils each (29 are 5 ml quantities and 3 are 1 ml). Among the included oils are precious examples such as Everlasting and German Chamomile, different species of Eucalyptus and different Chemotypes of Thyme. There are different specimens of Ginger and Rose illustrating how different products can be dervived from the identical plant by different extraction methods such as distillation, solvent extraction or CO2 extraction. These samples offer olfactory impressions, while also representing valuable additions to every essential oil library. All oils are described in the Course book and are chosen to illustrate - by fragrance - different Aromatherapy topics. One such topic, for instance, is the comparison of a steam distilled oil vs. the CO2 extract of the same plant.
Here is what a recent student had to say about the included essential oils:
Dear PIA
Just a quick note to tell you I received my course package and am very impressed. All those beautiful EOs! It must be close to ten years since I’ve had any Rosa damascena, due, of course, to the cost. I wasn’t expecting the oils to be so amazing. Very generous selection and sizes. I can’t wait to get started. So glad I happened upon the PIA site, and I look forward to placing an order for some EO in the near future. Thanks so very much! Every good wish, C. G.
