DSTT - Dove School of Therapeutic Training

Aromatherapy is the study of aromatic essential oils and their use in enhancing our health and wellbeing. In this Level 3 Aromatherapy Diploma, you will discover the rich history of the application of aromatherapy, together with how we can use these precious oils in various ways to influence our physiological and psychological health. You will learn the science underlying the properties of the oils and how they relate to and affect our body, brain and mind. Aromatherapy massage is gentler than other forms such as Swedish massage and you will be taught how to incorporate essential oils into this soothing and relaxing massage.

Our Diploma in Aromatherapy is in the process of accreditation by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) www.fht.org.uk and adheres to the standards set by the Aromatherapy Council (AC) www.aromatherapycouncil.co.uk . Successful completion of this course will confer the qualification of Level 3 Diploma in Aromatherapy and enable you to become a full member of the FHT. These associations are committed to maintaining the highest standards in Aromatherapy and require its full members to have been trained to standards agreed by them and to have passed a qualification that meets these standards.

This course requires you to hold a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology and also Body Massage. If you do not already hold these diplomas, you may be able to study for it at the same time as the Diploma in Aromatherapy. Anatomy and Physiology must have been obtained within the last 5 years; If you obtained your award more than 5 years ago, you will need to take our Anatomy and Physiology Refresher Course.
