Holistic Health Apprenticeships, Mentorships & Internships

ACHS encourage students and graduates to seek apprenticeship, mentorship and internship opportunities in their area through professional organizations and with local businesses and natural health professionals.

Many students have successfully obtained volunteer or apprentice positions in their area while studying with ACHS. Many practitioners and businesses are happy to take on an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer. The ACHS Registrar’s Office can provide transcripts and letters of recommendation for students and graduates in good standing as needed. Please contact the Registrar’s Office directly at (800) 487-8839 or via email to registrar@achs.edu.
