FAQs
Why did the curriculum change?
Our students have asked for less travel and the ability to finish in a shorter period of time. It also allows us to refresh what and how we teach to better prepare students for HT practice.
Does the new curriculum meet the professional registration requirements of the American Horticultural Therapy Association?
Yes, the four courses total 9 credits and include the topics required for horticultural therapy coursework.
I have taken classes in the past from HTI. Can I still complete a certificate?
Yes! Please contact us for guidance in which classes to enroll, as some content has shifted from course to course.
