Aromatherapy

NTCB certifies aromatherapists on five levels of competency as follows:

1. Certified Aromatherapy Apprentice (CAA)

2. Certified Aromatherapy Technician (CAT)

3. Certified Aromatherapy Specialist (CAS)

4. Certified Aromatherapy Coach (CAC)

5. Certified Clinical Aromatherapist (CCA)

These levels of attainment are designed to assist aromatherapy professionals to  legally practice aromatherapy in the USA and Canada. This is becoming more and more difficult since Codex Alimentarius became the law in both countries. 

State and Provincial licensing boards for massage therapy, allopathic medicine and psychology are becoming more and more aggressive in filing charges against natural therapies professionals for practicing their profession without a license.  Their goal, quite simply, is to take control of aromatherapy and make it illegal for non-licensed people to practice this profession.
