ONLINE SCHOOLS: To date we are the only online taught herbal school. The others are home study ... and there's a big difference between the quality of education when you choose to study online vs correspondence courses.
In our online classrooms you will recieve the attentions of your instructors on a regular and on-going basis. Correspondence courses are slow and instructors are not working with you in any timely fashion.
Our instructors are professional, caring members of the healing community. They are experts in their fields and are happy to help educate you to become real herbalists.
What's real vs not real you ask? Don't be fooled by all the home study programs out there that charge you a big dollar amount. They make it look like you're getting a whole lot for your money, in truth they've inflated their pricing by as much as four times their costs! They also don't care if you really learned how to be an herbalist or not. While we can't name names, we know of several of these types of school that will pass you no matter how badly you do on your finals, essays and herbal preperations. That's unethical in our book, and that's what we consider not real!
The Herbal College is for real. We are concerned with the ethics of educating our students to be knowledgeable and contributing herbalist in society. If you don't get it right, we're going to keep working with you until we're confident you're embracing the true educational components of being an herbalist. And, that's why having access to an instructor on an on-going basis is 100% better than any correspondence course you can take.

REAL HERBALIST:
The Herbal College is taught by real herbalists who have been trained by reputable herbal teachers or are reputable herbalist in their own right. Our master herbalists bring their love of herbal plants, their caring for the Earth and healing ways into their classrooms. They are not here to get rich from selling you over-priced courses ... they ARE here to educate you.
Every instructor for the Herbal College has gladly agreed to make education their number one priority ... making training you, their number one priority ... through hands-on interactions with you.
Our classes are fun and rewarding, and when you've completed your training you'll have something to show for it. You will have made your own herbal products and medicinals ... and your instructor will reward your final achievement with a certificate.
WHO WE LIKE:
Our herbal instructors are graduates from the herbal schools taught by several noted herbalists, like Michael Tierra and Rosemary Gladstar ... both considered to be the founders of modern herbalism.
Instructor and author Kisma Stepanich has studied with Rosemary Gladstar. Instructor Debra St. Claire studied at the Dominion Herbal College and has her own line of herbal products. These teachers are not light weights in the world of herbal medicine, and we're all very fortunate that each has agreed to teach here at the Herbal College.

Anything you can do in a live classroom, we can do inside our classrooms as well. In fact, we've set up the Herbal College to operate just like any school you might physically attend ... only difference is you can attend the Herbal College from the comfort of your own home.
