Is there a difference between ITEC and IFA? Im confused!! Im looking onto taking an aromatherapy course next year andi found a school that is IFA accreditd, it doesn't mention anything about ITEC, so can someone please tell me what the difference is, if there is a difference.
RE: ITEC and IFA
Hi Anancy
It is confusing. there are a number of professional organisations that are setting exams and standards for aromatherapy - ITEC and IFA are just two of them. Aromatherapy is currently undergoing regulation and it's important to do the right training.
If you visit the regulation web site - [link= http://www.aromatherapy-regulation.org ]www.aromatherapy-regulation.org[/link] it will direct towards the right traing course and also give you all the information about regulation. I hope this helps - incidentally - both the IFA and ITEC are recognised by regulation so either course would be OK but I would recommend doing your research and choosing the right one for you.
