CARE’s Education Programs

The Center for Aromatherapy Research and Education, Inc. (CARE) certifies Instructors to become members of the CARE Faculty. CCIs (Certified CARE Instructors) throughout North America train others who, in turn, are eligible to become certified, making Raindrop Technique and raindrop training accessible throughout the country.

CARE’s education program is an ongoing effort to provide a well-rounded range of accreditation programs, seminars and workshops. This page contains an overview of those programs and workshops as well as links to full details and registration information.

CARE Intensives

To facilitate the completion of in-class course requirements, CARE offers CARE Intensive Programs, which makes it possible to complete all 25 hours of CCI course requirements in a three or four-day workshop.

The 25 hours of formal course-work in the CCI program are also offered in parts: one, two, or three classes at a time over a one or two day period, which means that it could take months for a CCI candidate to find opportunities to complete all of the course hours.

For that reason, the CARE Intensive Program was created to make it possible to complete the CCI course requirements in a few days—usually over a weekend, but not always.

A typical three-day CARE Intensive may be structured as follows but not necessarily. You should check the class schedule for each specific CARE Intensive offered; since some last three days and some four and there can be variations in the order of the classes:
