Do you dream of making a living with a product- or service-based herbal business? If that’s your wish, then chances are that one of the things standing in your way is a lack of clear, helpful information.

It’s intimidating to detangle the rules and regulations surrounding an herbal business (we know, we’ve been there!), not to mention trying to figure out all the nitty-gritty details yourself, like sourcing ingredients, manufacturing, labeling and branding, marketing, sales, shipping, insurance, accounting, and more. We remember what it was like to be in your shoes, and we’ve created the course we wish we had back in our early days!

This robust Entrepreneur Herbalist Path Package is best-suited for beginning to intermediate herbalists who want to build their herbal knowledge on a wide variety of topics, explore and develop their particular areas of interest, and learn how to start a successful herbal business. We’ve bundled together our Introductory Herbal Course, Intermediate Herbal Course, and Business Herbal Course as a special savings opportunity for the enthusiastic budding herbalist with their heart set on launching their dream herbal business. All of our courses are self-paced and come with Lifetime Access*, allowing you to study whenever is most convenient for your schedule.

Description

Do you dream of whipping up herbal recipes to share with your community, from tinctures and salves to lotions, soaps, teas, and more? Or perhaps you’ve always wanted to open an herb shop, be an herb farmer, start an herbal apprenticeship program, or become an herbal writer. 

Herbalism is more than a hobby for you, it’s a calling. 

Perhaps your recipes, botanical products, and herbal wisdom are already a hit with your friends and family, and you know the rest of the world would love them too, if only they knew about them! Or maybe you’re brand new to herbalism, but your instincts tell you that herbalism is your path. You’re enchanted by the plants and what they have to offer, and you feel deeply pulled to start sharing that beauty with the world.

Regardless of where you are on your herbal journey, students in our Entrepreneur Herbalist Path Package are ready to put in the work. They’re ambitious, driven, and inspired, and they know that with time, practice, and the right guidance they will succeed. Does this sound like you?

If so, then the Entrepreneur Herbalist Path Package offers the in-depth information and resources you need to start making your herbal business dreams a reality. This robust package will save you days (if not weeks and months!) of piecing together information from dozens of different regulatory and small business websites. Different from any other online business course, this herb-focused training path includes foundational training in herbalism, core entrepreneurial topics as well as FDA compliance considerations and best manufacturing practices that are specific to the herbal products industry, and inspiring examples and helpful tips straight from the mouths of thriving herbal business owners.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of certificate will I receive and will I be a certified herbalist?
Upon completion of any of our foundational courses, you’ll receive a certificate of completion suitable for framing that states you’ve completed the course under the direction of the Herbal Academy. You will receive a certificate after successfully completing each individual course.

Note that because the field of herbalism is not officially regulated by any specific set of standards or governing body in the United States, certification is a tricky subject. While one can study in herbalism courses for a certificate of completion, one cannot become a “certified herbalist.” We discuss this topic a bit in this article, which you may find helpful: https://theherbalacademy.com/can-you-really-become-a-certified-herbalist/

The practice of herbalism is protected by the first amendment right to free speech. An herbalist cannot treat, cure, diagnose, prescribe, or see patients, instead, they can educate clients about dietary and lifestyle habits and make suggestions for herbs that will help balance the body and support wellness.

How long will it take me to complete this course package?
All of our online herbalism courses are self paced, which gives you the flexibility to study whenever your schedule allows. Everyone studies at a different rate, but we have found that the average completion time is approximately 125 hours for the Introductory Herbal Course, 175 hours for the Intermediate Herbal Course, and 150 hours for the Business Herbal Course, which is a combined 450 hours for the Entrepreneur Herbalist Path package. Because our courses are self-paced, there are no live lectures to attend and students have access to their courses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What materials will I need?
You will need an internet connection to access course materials along with a computer, tablet, or smartphone. You will also want to have a writing utensil and notebook to keep notes (our Materia Medica Journal is a great resource for this!). You may like to purchase herbs, oils, butters, waxes, and containers for any of the recipes that you choose to make. All three of these individual courses come with discounts to a variety of online herb suppliers to help make your studies more affordable!

Do I need to purchase textbooks for this package?
Textbooks are an optional add-on for students who also want the course material in book form. You can purchase the Introductory Herbal Course Textbook Set and Intermediate Herbal Course Textbook Set separately via our Goods Shop. (We do not offer textbooks for the Business Herbal Course at this time.) After you register, log in to your student account to receive significant student savings on textbook upgrades. Students enrolled in the Entrepreneur Herbalist Path Package receive $150 off the price of the Introductory Herbal Course Textbook Set and $298 off the price of the Intermediate Herbal Course Textbook Set.

When can I get started?
After you purchase the package, it will be available via your Student Dashboard immediately. Simply click the “start course” button for a given course to begin your studies!

How long will I have access to the course materials?
You will receive Lifetime Access* to your courses. Simply press the “start course” button in your Student Dashboard when you wish to begin each program! You can also download all course materials as PDFs for future reference.

Does this package include video content?
Yes! Our courses have videos sprinkled throughout to help supplement the written material. However, videos are not the primary medium through which our courses are taught. The Entrepreneur Herbalist Path Package features up to 22 hours of video content altogether, and each video comes with a video transcript.

Can I take this course if I don’t live in the United States?
Our classroom is truly a global classroom. We are honored to have students joining us in class from around the world. Herbal Academy courses offer a wide range of information about plants, and much of the information will be applicable outside of the United States.

Testimonials from Class

We referenced this course content regularly as we worked on getting our herbal soap business started!

We also loved the chart with recommendations for where to source bottles, labels, etc. Thank you!”

– Four Deserts Seed Company
These courses provided by the Herbal Academy have helped me come to a greater understanding of how plants and the body work together to heal. In my pursuit of opening my herb business, I feel more confident in knowing my product and how it can be used to help the body. This translates into being able to help others understand the use of plants, as well as help me in developing my own products that I can add to my future apothecary.”

– Looking Glass Apothecary
“All of the offerings from the Herbal Academy that I have utilized are professional, well-informed, and modern, while honoring and drawing upon herbal tradition and wisdom. The Advanced Herbal Course taught me how to think like an herbalist. What I learned has become the foundation of my herbal practice and my business, that I have been able to build upon in so many ways. I also use The Herbarium just about every day! The Herbal Academy is still one of my go-to sources for reliable herbal information.”
– Barberry Herbal Resource Center
There are a lot of hoops to jump through when you decide to put an herbal product on the shelves, and The Herbal Academy helped point me in the right direction. The information they gave on what language herbalists can use was very helpful. The Herbal Academy is a wonderful place to start your herbal education. The information is laid out in a way that is easy to understand and often comes with videos and extra handouts to download. On top of the amazing content you will receive, the Herbal Academy courses come with access to an invaluable Facebook community that will continually inspire you.”
