Frequently asked questions

How long is each class, and can I watch them at my own pace?

Most of our free classes are about 2 hours long, and you can watch them whenever it works for you. Learn at your own pace, pause when needed, and come back anytime.

Are these classes suitable for beginners, or do I need prior knowledge of herbalism?

Yes! These are perfect for beginners. Each free herbalism course stands on its own and is often an introduction to a larger class or subject. No prior experience is needed.

What is the difference between the free classes and the paid courses offered by the Institute?

The main difference is that our free herbal classes do not include a certificate or formal support materials. But the teaching style, content quality, and instructors are the same. If you enjoy a free class, you’ll feel right at home in our paid programs.

Do I receive a certificate or proof of completion?

No. To receive a certificate with accredited hours, you’ll need to enroll in a full paid course or one of our year-long herbal certificate programs. 

How do I sign up or gain access to the classes?

To watch a free class or get one of our resources, you may need to create a free account or sign up for our newsletter—both are quick and easy. Once you're in, you’ll be able to choose from any of our free herbalism classes online.

If I like these classes, what’s the next step in my herbal learning journey?

Great question! You can enroll in the full course connected to the free class you liked, or explore other offerings on our Herbalism Courses page. If you’re not sure where to start, email us at hello@woodherbs.com and we’ll help you choose the right next step.
