Certificate vs. Certification
The User acknowledges that herbalists are not licensed practitioners in the United States. Individual schools do not confer "certification", as there is no board or regulatory authority who can provide that.
A certificate does not provide you the legal right to practice or run a business; you must follow federal, state, and local laws that regulate herbal businesses.
We do provide a certificate to document the hours of study and successful completion of coursework when/if the criteria are fully met. That certificate can be used to show your educational integrity, and to document your study if you choose to seek recognition in a professional organization such as the AHG.
CommonWealth Herbs Ltd. makes no warranty or guarantee that any student will receive a certificate. If a student does not meet the requirements in a satisfactory manner, they will have the opportunity to improve the work and receive suggestions for how to do so.
CommonWealth Herbs Ltd. values educational integrity and will not provide a certificate to a student who has not met the criteria of completion as determined by the faculty and at their sole discretion.
No student is required to seek a certificate in order to learn. All students are welcome to participate in courses for their own enjoyment without completing the exams for a certificate.
Applicable Law
The Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the province of the United States. Failure to enforce strict performance of the Terms of Use of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. CommonWealth Herbs Ltd. may assign its rights and duties under the Terms of Use without notice to any party at any time.
Effective Date and Updates
The Terms are effective as of July 17th, 2017 and are subject to change without notice by CommonWealth Herbs Ltd. at any time. Please check for changes regularly. Your use of this Site after such changes constitutes your agreement to such changes.
By electronically confirming acknowledgement and acceptance of this agreement, the User confirms that they accept the terms and conditions set out above and that this will constitute a signed and legally binding Agreement.
