We typically estimate that it will take 125 hours to complete the Introductory Herbal Course, 175 hours for the Intermediate Course, 500 hours for the Advanced Course, and 100 hours for the Clinical Skills Course. Completion of these courses will help you meet the 800 study hours needed to apply to the AHG.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, students need to seek out 400 hours hands-on training under the guidance of an experienced herbalist or mentoring program. Of course, the AHG review process will evaluate a student\u2019s proficiency in herbalism, and is not just based on study hours.

Since one of the most important aspects of learning herbalism is working directly with herbs, we encourage students to acquire small amounts of herbs to work with in recipes that are included throughout the courses. We also encourage students to acquire a few good herbal reference books if you desire. When you register, you will be sent a welcome email with a list of suggested herbs and reference books.<\/p>\n<p>We understand the need to keep costs low; fortunately, you can find herbal reference books for free at the library or for relatively cheap in used bookstores. You can also find affordable ways to create projects with items you might already have in your house: olive oil, kitchen herbs and spices, jars, etc. Natural food stores usually include a bulk herb section in which you can measure out small amounts of herbs for a few dollars a bag. For those students who need to order herbs, we offer exclusive student discounts to Mountain Rose Herbs, Anima Mundi, Oshala Farms, and more. Registered students can find these discounts in their <a href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/student-dashboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-tab\" ><h4 class=\"accordion-title\" ><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-plus\" ><\/i><span><b>What supplies do I need for the Botanical Skin Care Course?<\/b><\/span><\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content\"><\/p>\n<p>With so many wonderful tutorials and recipes to create during this course, we have pulled together a recommended supply list to help you prepare for your studies.

If you wish, you can begin to gather herbs from this list that interest you or you can wait until class begins and you have the opportunity to review the recipes provided.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to purchasing herbs from online or local suppliers, a good guideline to follow is to purchase hard herbs (e.g., berries, bark, seeds) and powdered herbs in smaller amounts (1-2 ounces) and to purchase soft herbs (e.g., aerial parts (leaf and flower)) in larger amounts (4 ounces). Some herbs (e.g., lambsquarters, a common \u201cweed\u201d) are difficult to find from bulk suppliers and will require wild-harvesting.<\/p>\n<p>The following nutritive herbs are discussed and used throughout the course. Since nutritive herbs are safe for most individuals and are used in larger amounts, we suggest students purchasing 4 ounces of dried herb(s) of their choosing from this list.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">burdock (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arctium lappa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) root<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chickweed (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stellaria media<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) aboveground parts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dandelion (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taraxacum officinale<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) leaf<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hawthorn (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crataegus <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spp.) berry, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aerial parts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lamb\u2019s quarters (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chenopodium album<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) leaf<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nettle (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urtica dioica<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) leaf<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oat (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avena sativa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) milky seed and straw<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raspberry (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rubus idaeus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) leaf<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">red clover (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trifolium pratense<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) aerial parts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">violet (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viola<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> spp.) aerial parts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a complete supply list please download and review the following PDF: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gdlr-button medium\" href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Supply-List.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"  >Download the Making Herbal Preparations 101 Course Supply List as a PDF <\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gdlr-space\" style=\"margin-top: 25px;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/product\/making-herbal-preparations-101-mini-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Making Herbal Preparations 101 Mini Course here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the following post from the Academy blog will give you some great guidance on setting up your own set of herbal supplies should you wish to do so! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the post here: <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/supplies-for-herbalists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/supplies-for-herbalists\/<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-tab\" ><h4 class=\"accordion-title\" ><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-plus\" ><\/i><span><strong>What skill level is the Mastering Herbal Formulation Course best suited for and what preparations\/recipes are covered in the course?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/product\/mastering-herbal-formulation-course-how-to-combine-herbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mastering Herbal Formulation Course<\/a> can certainly be enjoyed by herbalists of all skill levels<\/strong>, and we\u2019ve included plenty of foundational information for beginners, <strong>we do recommend having a basic herbal foundation in place<\/strong> through self study, our <a href=\"https:\/\/theherbalacademy.com\/product\/introductory-herbal-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Introductory Herbal Course<\/a>, or a local apprenticeship.<\/p>\n<p>This course gives students a foundation in herbal formulation approaches that can be applied to any herbal preparation.

Access will cease when that particular course, portal, or product is no longer offered by the Herbal Academy. Herbal Academy reserves the right to revoke any access and use of any course, portal, or product at any point in time should it be decided, or in situations when obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons. Lifetime Access may not apply to free courses, workshops, intensives, and other courses or offerings that specify time access other than Lifetime Access on their enrollment pages. It\u2019s important to note that Lifetime Access is to the course, portal, or product, but not to the educators, support team, or community groups.<\/p>\n<p>Students are encouraged to download the course materials including PDFs, media downloads, and transcripts for their personal, non-commercial, educational use. Students need to be aware that they may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, sell, rent, lend, share, modify, adapt, edit, or create derivative works of the course and material, or otherwise transfer or use any course or material outside of individual use. This also applies to material that may be accessed via Herbal Academy\u2019s APIs (application programming interfaces).<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-tab\" ><h4 class=\"accordion-title\" ><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-plus\" ><\/i><span><strong>I\u2019m a current student or previously enrolled student, do I have Lifetime Access now?<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content\"><\/p>\n<p>No, courses are not automatically migrated to Lifetime Access unless the student has previously purchased an extension for the course(s).

Lifetime Access is the same price as previous course extensions. Course tuition and benefits for new registrations moving forward have also been adjusted to be equivalent to the value.<\/p>\n<p>Support \u2013 Lifetime Access will require more ongoing support from our educators and staff and an increase in website server space, which is why tuition on programs has also been adjusted with this structural shift.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordion-tab\" ><h4 class=\"accordion-title\" ><i class=\"fa fa-plus icon-plus\" ><\/i><span><strong>I\u2019ve previously purchased an extension on my course(s), what now?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4><div class=\"accordion-content\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your course qualifies for Lifetime Access, your program has already migrated to Lifetime Access.
