Certified Herbal Counselor Course

Welcome to Joyful Living Services' Certified  Herbal Counselor Online Course. Thank you for choosing to study with us. We hope this course will meet all your expectations and you will learn what you hope to learn from us.

Click on each session below to download the manual, powerpoint slides, and watch the video for the session you are working on. Manuals and powerpoint slides are in Adobe PDF format. They can be opened with both a Mac and PC. We recommend you "save the files to disk" and choose to save the files to your "desktop" when the option box appears. Once the files are on your desktop, click to open them. If you have trouble opening the files by clicking on them, open Adobe Acrobat Reader first, find the files, and then open the files from within the application.

This course contains 16 lessons on the web as an online course. You will receive a certificate at the end of this course that has been approved by the Board of Registered Nursing and you will receive a BRN#. There are quizzes after each session and there is a test at the end of the course. The quizzes and test will be graded and returned to you. Each session offers a different subject.

This course is on your own time so you can complete the lessons at your own pace. If you are going on vacation, are ill, or don’t have the time to read the lesson, watch the video and complete the quizzes, you will not be penalized. Because this course is online and is on your own time, you are responsible for turning in your quizzes when they are complete.

You will receive your certificate once all the quizzes have been turned in and once your final exam is graded and passed. You will then be listed on our web site to receive referrals from us if you choose.
