Will it cost very much to make my own medicines?
A. You
will have most of the
equipment you need in your kitchen and you can grow most of your own
herbs, however, they aren’t very expensive to buy so it

herbal remedies you’ve made yourself. Even if you have to

Q. Is The Home Herbalist
course difficult to do?
A. No,
it’s not difficult at
all. Although the course is very thorough it has been designed in such
a way that the text is easily understood and there are diagrams
explaining the content where necessary. However, if the student is
having difficulty in understanding anything they can email the tutor
for help. The Home Herbalist staff is dedicated to the teaching of home
herbalism so the student will have support whenever it is needed.
Q. What qualification does The Home Herbalist
certificate course offer? A.
The
certificate students receive after completion of this herbalist course
is
a certificate of competency in home herbalism, which means they are
qualified
in home herbalism to treat themselves, their families, and pets for
many common
conditions. The
certificate, as with
many other certificates does not give students the qualification needed
to be a
practitioner of herbal medicine, medical herbalist or any other
professional
modality. However, much of the course
content is what is taught to students studying to be a
professional herbalist.
Q.
Does The Home Herbalist certificate course lead to a
diploma or degree in medical or professional herbalism?
A.
Should those who
complete The Home Herbalist course decide
to further their studies to become a professional herbalist, the
institute they
choose may consider the course as recognized prior learning but in
doing so
they would need to see the full course content and make an assessment.

Q.
What opportunities are there during the courses for
feedback/interaction with the tutor or is it simply a one-way
interaction, i.e.
students are sent the course material?
A.
The course tutor encourages interaction with students by
email or phone and that can be as little or as often as they choose and
it’s
included in the course fees. Q. I've just purchased a short course but I've now looked at your full course and think I should have gone for
that instead. Is it possible to get my $250 credited towards
the full course and I'll pay the remainder owing straight away? A. Yes
it is possible to credit what you've already paid towards the full
course provided the short course hasn't been emailed to you in the
meantime. Just contact us for instructions on how to pay the balance.
Q. Do I receive the complete short course once I have paid the
fee or do you send out individual lessons at regular intervals?
A. The
short courses are emailed in full to students after payment has been
received and the The Home Herbalist course is usually sent one lesson
at a time with the following lesson being sent after the previous
lesson's assignment has been marked. However, students can request to
receive more than one lesson at a time or the full course at once.
Q. Does
your natural skin care short course teach you how to make a base cream for products? A. Yes,
