Introduction
Community Herbalist Certificate
The Community Herbalist Program is a unique 4-month program that introduces students to the incredible world of plants and their medicinal uses according to various cultures. This program explores the history of plant-based therapies and how to identify and cultivate herbs, use plant-based foods to maintain health, and make and apply herbal remedies to restore health.
Graduates of this program can use knowledge and experience gained to establish a community-based herbal clinic to assist family and friends, work in the health and wellness retail sector, grow and maintain herbal gardens, create herbal preparations or matriculate into the Diploma of Phytotherapy program at PRC.
To facilitate an easy transition into the Diploma of Phytotherapy, 4 courses (Materia Medica, Western Nutrition, Practical Herbal Pharmacy and Natural Emergency Medicine) within the CHP program are directly transferable into the 3-year diploma program.
