If you have had previous training in herbalism and feel that it would qualify for credit for classes either for a portion of the first year or feel you have enough training to enter into the 2nd year, you can fill out the Year 2 Application Addendum and the Year 2 Credit Submission Form. Please note: This form is very important for those planning to apply for the 2nd year program, as you may discover the need to take some 1st year courses to be prepared for 2nd year curriculum. Year 2 applicants must interview.
