Any courses that have live sessions will be announced in advance for a certain date and time. These can be accessed online and will be recorded so that they can be reviewed at a later date

Every course structure is a bit different, although most of them will include a short quiz after each lesson, these are not timed but we do suggest students complete them in one sitting. 

At the end of each course there may be a final exam, which will have a 3 hour time limit, the exam ranges between 40-50 questions.

Some of our courses will include projects that will need to be completed along the way and will count towards your final grade.

Student’s must receive 70% overall in order to pass the course. Re-writes are available as needed. A syllabi for each course is provided with a detailed list of what is required to complete the course.

Our monthly live roundtables are your chance to deepen your herbal learning by diving into case study reviews and relevant herbal discussions. This is your chance to learn how to apply your theoretical knowledge to real-world cases and feature prominent clinical herbalists from across Canada. 

Our roundtable discussions will be held via zoom and students will be notified with registration links and an outline of the instructor and topics prior to the session. Roundtables are available for 24 hours after to re-watch or if you were unable to attend. We request that students register in order to receive the re-watch link.

Throughout the year we regularly host Instructor Q&A’s to give you the chance to connect and ask your course questions directly to our instructors. These are an excellent opportunity to gain clarity on your learning material and to enhance your learning. 

Our instructor Q&A’s are held via Zoom and will be recorded and added to the bonus content of your course. You will receive the dates, times and registration links via email. If you are unable to attend you can still submit your questions ahead of time to Student Services at [email protected].

All Wild Rose College courses & diploma programs include downloadable .pdf course manuals. Wild Rose College does offer the option to optionally add coiled and bound printed course manuals upon initial registration (or you may alternatively purchase as few or as many as you like at any time during your studies).

Purchasing printed course manuals is not required, however some students prefer the printed and bound manuals to study off-line, so it is entirely a personal preference. We are also able to offer them at a competitive price and there may be a cost savings to printing them yourself.

Our programs at Wild Rose Herbal College were created so the most casual or serious learner can take part. Our timelines and delivery ensure our students will be able to participate in our in-depth teachings while working or maintaining their other commitments.
