The course is taught from the IFA Professional Essential Oils Therapy Diploma Syllabus, which has clear aims and learning outcomes for each unit contained within a module that incorporates the National Occupational Standards (NOS), Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and surpasses the Aromatherapy Core Curriculum requirements. The syllabus also provides sample examination questions at the end of each unit. Learners may purchase the syllabus in the shop once registered and logged into the website as student members.
The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) provides a structure for all qualification leveling. This qualification is pitched at HE Level 5 and equates to 37 or more credits. The credit value represents the depth and breadth of the teaching and learning content and the time reasonably expected to be consumed in the delivery, study, research, revision, and completion of tasks and assignments.
