Although there is no state license like doctors or massage therapist,
you can get certified by various Aromatherapy institutions, including
IFA (this is one of the most difficult and credible institutions in
Aromatherapy).
As Pat mentioned, there are many people who study and put so much
money and time to it, including myself, to complete a proper
education.
There is science, biology, physics, and other aspects behind this
subject.
You may learn so much from books and PubMed as well.
Again, there is no "license" issued for Aromatherapy education but
"certification" and "completion" as a part of education.
Therefore, it's important to choose a credible school/ institution if
you wish to further advance your career in Aromatherapy.
I heard people say "I have a Aromatherapy license" but it cannot be
possible because there is no license established in this country or
many others.
Cheers, everyone, Happy New Year!!
