The Herbal Academy offers work-at-your-own pace online courses.
For students who wish to learn outside of an online platform, we do offer printed course textbooks for both the Introductory and Intermediate Herbal Courses. Students who wish to study online and from the course textbooks will receive a student discount on the course textbooks, however these are completely optional for students joining us online. Note that downloadable PDF printouts of all course material are available with online course enrollment.
Most of the content in our courses is presented in written format. Topical videos (with downloadable transcripts), helpful graphics, and beautiful images are interspersed throughout most of our courses.
Once you have enrolled in an online course with us, you will immediately have access to your course materials via a Student Dashboard that is created uniquely for you during registration. You will log in to your Student Dashboard to access your courses and navigate through your studies. Course access time begins when you click the Start Course button. There is a separate Start Course button for each course you have registered for—these are found in your Student Dashboard.
Course content is arranged into units of study, each containing several lessons. A downloadable PDF of each unit’s content is available upon accessing that unit. Students taking foundational courses must pass a quiz at the end of each unit with a score of 80% or higher to access the next unit. Short courses and mini courses do not have this requirement with the exception of The Mushroom Course. To ensure that students are truly learning and processing information, we do not provide early access to units in the foundational courses and The Mushroom Course
so students will not be able to access all unit PDFs at once.
We offer four individual online foundational courses - Introductory Herbal Course, Intermediate Herbal Course, Business Herbal Course, and Advanced Herbal Course. You can take each of them individually, or we have also bundled them into the various Paths at a discounted price.
