So I have seen a few local people post about getting their diploma/certified Herbalist from the place in the pic, not texting it out just read the piece of paper in my hand.
Matthew got me the Forgotten Home Apothecary book a few days ago! I decided to look into courses that are offer and thought “heck yes more schooling for me to take”. This was yesterday so I paid the $41.83 to take said courses. Didn’t look it over just said to myself I’ll look into starting tomorrow after I feed the goats and milk
So I came down from the barn and was excited to start a new school adventure well I watched the first video and the second and the third. Then I look ahead to see how much videos I needed to watch and how many sections there was too. Then I saw it……. The last section that said quiz. Ok I’m going to take this quiz to see how much I’m going to need to study and what parts I’m going to have to focus on. Pushed the button, 10 questions, only 10 this has got to be a joke. Took quiz in less than 5 minutes after I passed with flying colors on the first try it said I could have my diploma.
Now remember I havent watch 3/4 of the videos or anything ….
I have taken Rosemary Gladstar’s herbal course which was 10 chapters long which look my 18months to complete bc you have to do projects, and homework and TURN THIS INTO THE SCHOOL and they grade it!! I cried and cussed and studies and studies and passed that with flying colors after months and months of long hours.
So in saying this. Please please be careful in who you see for herbal products bc I would hate for some of you to believe that they are a certified herbalist and they truly are not
With the hours that I have put into my path I now have about a bachelors equivalent in hours under my belt and will be starting a New CERTIFICATION soon from a Certified School
