Plant products have been used in ancient civilisations e.g. Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans as a cure against illness, a cosmetic and perfume, and in the preservation of food due to its antiseptic properties. Aromatherapy was first mentioned in the West in 1910 by a Frenchman called Rene-Maurice Gattefossé when he effectively treated his badly burned hand with Lavender oil. Later, a French surgeon, Jean Valnet pioneered the medicinal uses of essential oils by their use as antiseptics in World War 1. Today aromatherapy is the use of plants and their derivatives to treat by internal and external use or as an aerial diffusion. How each plant is processed, prepared, used safely and their beneficial properties will be taught. How it impacts on well-being either through direct application such as using massage, its effect on the internal organs such as the brain, the olfactory and digestive organs, as well as its psychological (mental and emotional) benefits will be discussed in detail.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
