"I will never be able to thank you enough, Margaret"

“Just cannot help but reflect on the money and time I have spent on ‘similar’ courses which gave me nothing to grow from or build upon. I just cannot stop thinking my previous teachers should come and retrain with you”

"Another wonderful and eye-opening course from Margaret"

“I could listen to her all day every day. Professional, friendly and hugely informative. I will be back for more of her magic!”

"Fantastic weekend course, brilliantly taught by Margaret"

“I feel much more confident about moving into this new area. I just wish I had done my initial training with Margaret. My course provider should have come to learn from Margaret first!”

The IFA Diploma Courses

What is the International Federation of Aromatherapists (IFA)?

Established in 1985 primarily to protect public health and wellbeing, the IFA remains the first and oldest professional body to regulate qualified aromatherapists and essential oils practitioners world-wide. Robert Tisserand was one of the founding members (his book ‘Essential Oil Safety’ is a must read!) and over decades the IFA has remained an organization of integrity and professionalism, dedicated to raising awareness about the power of aromatherapy.

It was the IFA that pioneered Aromatherapy in the NHS, and its commitment to advancing the knowledge, expertise and practice of safe aromatherapy through research and education is globally respected. The IFA’s register of qualified aromatherapists and essential oil practitioners has been approved as an ‘Accredited Register’ by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA), a body accountable to Parliament. Ultimately, the IFA set the standards and guidelines by which practitioners are measured and recognised.

Why choose an IFA Diploma Course?

In line with their wider role in society, IFA courses are designed to educate, train and prepare learners to become world-class aromatherapists and essential oils practitioners. An IFA Diploma Course provides the most current, science-based and empirical information, innovative training and pertinent guidance which stems from evidence-based practice. It provides an exhaustive exploration – superseding most other available courses – culminating in a highly regarded examination process, the passing of which propels you straight into the top tier of clinical aromatherapists.

The IFA offers two different diploma courses – the Aromatherapy Diploma and the Professional Essential Oils Therapy Diploma (PEOT).

At the moment, Margaret Karlinski teaches only the PEOT course for which she offers two options – a full Diploma Course and a ‘Bridging’ Course. Please note – these courses can only be embarked upon by those who meet the relevant entry requirements.

CPD Courses for Therapists

CPD stands for ‘Continuous Professional Development’. From aromatherapists to osteopaths, all therapists not only need to continue to grow and learn but sometimes they are also required to do this by their membership organisations.

Margaret believes a good CPD course is a fantastic investment, not just an obligation. “Separating the wheat from the chaff is becoming more and more pertinent in the world of wellbeing. A CPD course has the potential to set you apart from the norm, strengthening your professional credibility, propelling your practice to another level and hence increasing your earning potential.”

These courses provide an opportunity to revisit and refresh topics which therapists may have learnt about years ago, bringing them up-to-speed with relevant developments, either directly in their field or in related areas. A CPD course will hone your skill set and provide you with up-to-date knowledge, broadening your experience whilst helping you to evolve and gain confidence as a practitioner. If this is the case, Margaret offers a variety of highly relevant and original CPD courses.
