General Information FAQs

PRE-REQUISITES:

Vitaflex is pre-requisite to Raindrop I, and Raindrop I is pre-requisite to Raindrop II. There are no pre-requisites for Bible Oils, Chemistry I, Chemistry II, or Emotional Release which may be taken ala carte. All persons seeking practical knowledge and skills in the healing art and science of applied aromatherapy are encouraged to participate in CARE seminars. CARE Courses may be taken with or without the intent to become certified.

REQUIRED TEXTS:

There are several required texts to complete the CARE Certification Process, but there are NO required texts for taking any CARE Course. However, the chemistry course is based on the text, The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple (See Resources), which will be referred to often during the class. Obtaining this text before class is highly encouraged and should be brought to class in order for you to receive the most benefit from this course. At most seminars copies can be purchased on site.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:

Class Notes, Necessary Oils, and Handouts are included in the seminar fees as well as a copy of the latest CCI Handbook for those registered for the full seminar (which ordinarily sells for $5.95 per copy).

CERTIFICATES AND CONTINUING CREDIT:

Certificates of participation are awarded to every student who completes a CARE Classes in Vitaflex (4 hrs), Raindrop I (4 hrs), Raindrop II (4 hrs), Chemistry I & II (6 hrs), and Emotional Release (5 hrs). Certificates are also awarded for the Healing Oils of the Bible Class for those taking a full 25-hour CARE Intensive and for those taking the Bible Oils class ala carte who request it and pay an extra $10. These certificates are good for continuing education credit approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and count toward becoming a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI). They also provide proof of participation as eligibility to retake any CARE Class for half-price. There are also other programs that give special discounts to graduates of CARE Classes and CCIs where these certificates also furnish proof of one's eligibility for such discounts. Enrolling and completing a full 3-4 day CARE Intensive will earn a participant six colorful and attractive certificates totaling to 25 hours credit.

WHAT TO BRING:

Bring two (2) sheets, two (2) bath towels, one (1) hand towel, and a copy of the Bible. Bring your personal copy of The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple, if you own one. Otherwise, you may obtain a copy at the seminar. If you would be willing to bring a massage table, please mention this on the registration form or when you register.

SEMINAR BOOKSTORE:

Texts and videos required for CCIs, as well as other publications, are normally available for sale at the seminar. These publications are also available in the Resource Catalog of this website or directly from CARE by calling (800) 758-8629, 9-5 PM, CST, Mon-Fri.
