CARE Intensive FAQs:

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A CARE INTENSIVE

  You will be able to cite books of the Old and New Testaments containing information on essential oils as well as their Biblical and modern applications. You will also be able to do a Biblical anointing.

• Upon Completion of the Applied Vitaflex Class:

  You will be able to perform 13 Vitaflex Procedures, to understand the scientific basis for Vitaflex, to know when and to whom to apply them, and what benefits can be expected from their application

• Upon Completion of the Raindrop Technique Training:

  You will be able to perform the entire Raindrop protocol, understand its limits and precautions, and know its potential benefits. This class also leads to your becoming an Approved Raindrop Facilitator or a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS).

• Upon Completion of the CARE Chemistry Class:

  You will gain a scientific understanding of how the compounds of essential oils reach the cellular levels and how they bring therapy to the various organs and tissues of the body.

• Upon Completion of the Emotional Release Class:

  You will be able to correlate physical maladies with repressed emotions, to use essential oils to locate emotional issues stored in the cells of the body, and will know how to release them for yourself and others.

• Class Evaluations:

  At the end of each of these classes, there will be a short exam to evaluate the extent to which you have achieved the planned outcomes of the class. These are not “Pass/Fail” tests, but are intended to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching. Because these exams are not necessary for you to receive a certificate, your instructor may or may not go through them with you. However, if the exam is not discussed during class, and you would like to have a copy for your own information, you may ask your instructor. All participants are asked to complete a full evaluation of all classes at the end of the 3- or 4-day intensive. These evaluation forms must be kept on file at the CARE Headquarters for Continuing Education purposes.

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, Vitaflex, or Emotional Release which may be taken ala carte. (NOTE: Although there are no pre-requisites to Chemistry I or II, it is highly recommended that you take Chemistry I before taking Chemistry II. If only one part of the 2-part Chemistry class is attended, you will NOT receive a certificate for that class.) 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, 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 $9.95 per copy).

• CERTIFICATES AND CONTINUING CREDIT:

  Certificates of participation are awarded to every student who completes a CARE Class in Vitaflex (4 hrs.), Raindrop I & Raindrop II (8 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) and Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS). They also provide proof of participation as eligibility to retake any CARE Class for half-price. Enrolling and completing a full 3-4 day CARE Intensive will earn a participant five colorful and attractive certificates totaling 25 hours of credit.

• ATTENDING FOR HALF-PRICE:

  If you have taken and paid for any CARE Class before and received a CARE certificate for that class, you may retake that particular class from any CCI for half-price. This includes the opportunity for retaking the whole 3- or 4-day seminar if you have already attended and paid once before. To be eligible for the 50% discount, you must furnish proof that you have taken the class to the organizing CARE Instructor in the form of a fax, photocopy, or email of your CARE certificate or certificates.

• A DUPLICATABLE EDUCATION PROGRAM:

  All Certified CARE Instructors become members of the CARE Faculty, can teach in the name of CARE, and enjoy other privileges. CCIs may offer the Bible Program, Vitaflex, and Raindrop Seminars for CARE Credit toward CCI certification. By fulfilling additional requirements, CCIs may also be authorized to teach Emotional Release and Essential Oil Chemistry in the name of CARE. CARE Instructors are trained to teach others who are, in turn, trained to teach others who will train others, etc. This program is a duplicatable education system designed to reach thousands in their local areas who wish to learn and teach Raindrop Technique and cannot afford to travel to distant places for training.

• CERTIFICATES ISSUED:

  Attractive certificates will be issued by CARE to each participant for each course: Vitaflex, Raindrop, Chemistry and Emotional Release. The CCI Certificate is issued when all requirements are satisfied. For details, obtain a CCI Handbook, available from CARE.

• CHANGES IN PRICES & POLICIES:

  The above prices, policies and procedures are subject to change at any time. Obtain a current copy of the CCI Handbook, periodically visit this web site, or Contact CARE to be sure you have current information.
