List of Recommended
Certification Boards
Caution: We urge you to avoid non-independent, non-accredited certification boards. Many claim they are both, but they are not.
They are controlled by a manufacturer, distributor, dealer or education organization -- or they control the education association, manufacturer, distributor or dealer. The certification you receive from them is an expensive piece of paper with no credibility.
We recommend the following certification boards because they are accredited and independent of any manufacturing company, distributor, dealer or education organization.
We know these boards are credible because the people they certify speak well of them, they comply with all federal, state and provincial regulations, they stand behind the people they certify and licensing boards accept their certification:
Alternative Health Certification Board (now part of ANHCB)
Alternative and Natural Health Certification Board (ANHCB)
Aromatherapy Certification Board (Merging with NTCB)
