DOES THIS TRAINING MAKE ME A CERTIFIED HERBALIST?
In the United States, there isn't a officially recognized credential equivalent to 'certification' or 'license' for herbalists. However, various schools offer programs leading to titles like Master Herbalist, Certified Herbalist, Family Herbalist, or Community Herbalist. While these titles lack formal state or federal recognition, they serve as valid means to convey your education and experience, indicating a certain level of proficiency. Our program serves as a comprehensive foundation for further specialization, allowing you to focus on areas such as community herbalism or clinical herbalism. Graduates can also register as members of the American Herbalist Guild, obtaining a Registered Herbalist Membership. This membership serves as a way for herbalists to showcase core knowledge and experience, establishing a meaningful competency standard for themselves, their communities, and other health professionals and institutions. We acknowledge that herbalists worldwide possess various skills, and registering with the American Herbalists Guild is just one avenue to demonstrate expertise. For those who value peer review as confirmation of their clinical skills, the designation 'Registered Herbalist' signifies a recognized level of expertise and commitment to herbalism.
