Cosmetic science school achieves learning accreditation

In order to achieve the accreditation, the Open & Distance Learning Quality Council (ODLQC) undertook a rigorous assessment of Formula Botanica’s teaching methods, distance learning materials and the delivery of the School’s online cosmetic science training courses.

In total, the whole e-learning process from start to finish was reviewed, and the Council found that Formula Botanica meets their standards and provides high quality distance learning teaching for organic skin care entrepreneurs.

“Achieving accreditation is an important milestone in our continuous growth as the world’s leading Organic Cosmetic Science School,”​ says Lorraine Dallmeier, Director of Formula Botanica.

“We now have close to 1,500 students in 86 countries and are proud to be able to show the ODLQC Quality Mark to guarantee that our courses and delivery methods are of excellent quality.”​

The Formula Botanica school offers learners the chance to achieve certificates in a number of different areas, such as stability testing and preservation, as well as Diploma options in organic skin care formulation.

There are also a number of live workshops that people can attend.

Clear educational goals​

Tony Hopwood, Chief Assessor for the ODLQC says that the reason Formula Botanica, and others, achieve this accreditation is because it maintains and demonstrates a clear commitment to helping its learners achieve their educational goals.

“As part of the assessment process, we surveyed Formula Botanica’s student body and found an extremely high satisfaction rate. All tutor support is of high quality and Formula Botanica’s course provision meets all of our standards,”​ he says.

The ODLQC Standards guarantee quality in all accredited open or distance learning course providers.

Founded in 1969, the independent accreditation body was originally established by the British Government to monitor quality in training and education. ODLQC is an active member of the European Association of Distance Learning.
