Certificate Information
You will receive a certificate for the successful completion of this course.
This course has 67 credit hours.
This represents the actual time of video instruction and live Q&A, as well as the time allocated for your capstone assignment, quizzes, and other assignments & activities required for completion of the course.
It is reasonable to plan about twice that much time to complete the work: this is because most students like to watch the videos more than once, review their notes, and many students complete more than the required activities. You might also enjoy joining a study group in our Student Community, and you might choose to work on extra activities together as a group to help you internalize all that you've learned.
Regardless of how long it takes you, there is never any pressure! You have access to this material for life, and in fact, when we add updates and new materials, you receive it all for free, automatically!
If new material is added after you have received your certificate, we are happy to send you a new updated certificate to document the additional time when you complete the new material.
Two Tuition Options!
We want to make this course as accessible as possible, so there are two ways to enroll.
If you prefer a monthly payment plan, we made it super easy - just $20/month!
You'll get all the videos, activities, printables, and more for a new herbal remedy every week, for 9 months!
This is great if you're on a budget, or if you prefer to focus on one thing at a time. Each week a new herbal remedy will unlock, like an adventure, so that you always have something new to work on!
we offer payment plans to make our courses more accessible. a payment plan carries a commitment to complete all of the payments.
If you prefer a one-time tuition payment, you can do that for $160, which saves you $20!
You can access all of the content in this course immediately.
This is great if you know that you like to skip around in the material, so that you can find what you need in the order you need it.
$160 one-time payment - save $20!
Either way, your access never expires, and you get free updates for life!

I also appreciate how I learn about other things such as various herbs as we go along or equipment that might be helpful. I like the simplicity of the handouts as well.

Two heads are better than one!
Katja & Ryn
Katja & Ryn almost always teach together. They each have particular talents and areas of interest, and their perspectives on certain issues are quite different! Together, they convey a fuller picture of the realities of herbal theory & practice than either one could do alone.
Katja is an herbalist and teacher working to help people rebuild their relationships with their bodies and their own ability to heal. She’s been in practice for nearly 25 years, but it all began with a desire to make her own “fancy tea” at home instead of paying high prices for imported blends at specialty stores. She’s kept that do-it-yourself ethic close to her heart.
Ryn has been a practicing herbalist since 2010. He came to herbalism by way of martial arts, where his first experiences with herbs were focused on getting back into the game and becoming more flexible, adaptable, and resilient. Passing that experience on to others is what keeps him motivated every day.
Together, Katja and Ryn teach everyone from children to elders, as well as pharmacy students from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Northeastern University School of Pharmacy, where they both serve as associate faculty. Ryn and Katja are the authors of Herbal Medicine for Beginners, and the creators of the weekly Holistic Herbalism Podcast.
