Which course & help with costs

[The Shadow Knows]

Hi everyone - I posted this in the training forum but thought might also e useful to see if anyone here could offer any advice or info too....

Hi Everyone
Been away from this forum for *ahem* a few years! I trained in massage and reflexology 6 years ago then life led me away from therapies.... but now I'm back, as things often lead us back to where we should be.....
I'd love to add aromatherapy to my qualifications, but don't need to do it as part of a massage course, really its to blend oils for candles and to make skincare preparations.

Just wondered if anyone has experience of any "blending" courses, or something similar that will fit the bill? Found a few but choosing is tricky - hearing from those who have trained is the best way... I will travel or home study.

The other thing is cost. As a newly self employed (ie no income) single parent I qualify for tax credits, does anyone know whether course fees can be funded under these circumstances in any way?

any help much appreciated

love & sunshine

Anyone?

Either regarding recommended courses for aromatherapy without massage - the theory and application to blending really.....

Or anyone know of any funding for someone on a low income but not unemployed?

Hi Wild Indigo I am not sure where you are based but www.aromantic.co.uk do courses in London and Scotland specifically for skin care and cosmetics. They also offer discounts to low wage or unemployed folks.
Hope you find something that suits.

Hiya, I had stumbled across aromantic, and have them in the back of my mind, was hoping for nearer home (Devon) or a distance learning option.
I didnt realise they had the discounted structure thought so that's really helpful thank you, well worth further investigation....

many thanks
have a great evening
