Becoming a professional member

There are many ways to become a herbalist. You can attend a formal school, be taught by an elder or have learned informally. The AHA recognizes that all forms of education are valid and has a professional membership application process that accommodates them. This chart summarizes the process. For details about our professional membership requirements and the application process, review our Education Standards.
