Professional Exams and Registration

Putting Your Education into Practice

ACHS prepares students to apply their integrative health and wellness education in diverse roles within the integrative health and wellness industry. ACHS’s programs are aligned with professional standards and education requirements established by industry organizations such as the Alliance of International Aromatherapists, American Herbalists Guild, American Nutrition Association, National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy, and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, among others.

Depending on your area of study and program, you may meet the education standards to apply for professional membership or registration with professional organizations to earn industry-recognized credentials.

If you intend to move states upon graduation, check each state you plan to reside in. The health and wellness services allowed or prohibited in your state must be determined by careful review of the language of your state’s law, and we recommend seeking legal guidance from a law professional in your state. Also check if you reside in a Health Freedom state.

Information about professional opportunities for ACHS graduates in the holistic health and wellness industry is listed below. Registration and licensing requirements vary by state. ACHS certificates, diplomas, and degrees are not a license to practice medicine and do not entitle graduates to licensure. Graduates must not represent themselves as licensed medical practitioners nor claim to treat, diagnose, cure, or prescribe unless otherwise so licensed and must comply with all state regulations that may apply to their practice, including any required state registration.
