We encourage you to explore our Herbal Education FAQ page, which provides valuable insights into herbal training options. Additionally, our Herb School Directory allows you to search for schools by state, as well as online and onsite programs.

For further guidance, consider watching the public webinar “So You Want to Be an Herbalist” which explores the many paths to becoming an herbalist. There is no single route to becoming an herbalist, so take the time to explore your options and choose the path that aligns best with your goals and interests.

I’m looking for an accredited school approved by the AHG

The AHG is not an accrediting body and does not formally evaluate herbal schools or training programs. However, we do maintain an Herb School Directory, which includes a diverse range of schools and programs that have opted to be listed. Each program has its own unique educational approach and focus, offering both onsite and distance learning options across various regions.

We encourage prospective students to carefully review the AHG Suggested Education Guidelines when exploring programs, ensuring alignment with their personal and professional goals. Additionally, our Herbal Education FAQs provide further insights to help guide your decision.

Legal/ regulatory questions

We have a legal and regulatory FAQ page here.
