ONLINE HERBOLOGY LEVEL 1 PROGRAM

We understand that many do not have the time or ability to attend classes when work and school schedules conflict. Or perhaps your location does not offer comprehensive herbalist certification programs. For this reason, The Human Path has developed an online program for the herbology certification. The online program includes all of the Level 1 Herbal Medics Foundations material with videos, documents, online homework and exercises along with many resources that will supplement the understanding and de-mystifying process of herbology. Wilderness First Aid certification is offered about 4 times per year at the school via ECSI; however, an equivilent is accepted to complete Level 1 Herbal Medic certification and move on to advanced courses. THE EMERGENCY HERBAL FIRST AID KIT, available for purchase online. WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE 2013 ONLINE HERBAL MEDIC LEVEL 1 PROGRAM:   This course is a comprehensive introduction to using herbs for healing.
