At Formula Botanica, the world’s leading online formulation school, we’re always thinking about how we can support you better on your journey to becoming a skilled organic cosmetic formulator.
We’ve been listening to feedback from our students and we’ve realised that making a few important changes will help make your learning experience clearer and even more rewarding. We’re excited to share these updates with you and hope you’ll feel as positive about them as we do.
Retiring courses: Simplifying your journey
First, we want to let you know that we will be retiring a few of our courses. These are:
The Certificate in Organic Anti-Ageing Skincare
We know these courses have been loved by many, but we’ve made this decision because we want to simplify the choices for new students.
By retiring these courses, we can make sure everyone has a clear starting point in their formulation journey. This will help you focus on the core knowledge you need to become a certified formulator, without feeling overwhelmed by too many choices.
So, if you’ve been thinking about enrolling in any of these courses, make sure you sign up before our next student intake window closes in January. After that, they will no longer be available.
Fee increases: Continuing to offer the best courses
Next, we need to talk about course fees. We’ve worked hard to keep the prices of our courses affordable for as long as possible, but with rising costs, it’s no longer possible to keep the fees at their current level. To continue offering you the best quality education, we need to make a few changes.
The following diplomas will see an increase in fees after our January enrolment period:
Diploma in Organic Haircare Formulation
We will announce the new fees later in 2025.
We’ve held the prices steady for many years, but now, as we improve the support and resources we offer, we need to adjust the fees to reflect the value and education you receive.
If you’ve been considering one of these diplomas, now is the best time to enrol and lock in the current fee before the price increase happens.
We also want to let you know that the fees for the Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation will increase in 2026. This gives you plenty of time to enrol at the current rate, but if it’s a course you’ve been thinking about, we recommend taking action soon to avoid the fee increase down the line.
Why we’re making these changes
We know that these changes may come as a surprise, but we want you to know that everything we’re doing is to help you succeed in your formulation journey. Here’s why we’ve decided to make these adjustments:
Simplifying choices for you
We’ve listened to your feedback and realised that having too many courses can be overwhelming. By streamlining our offerings, we hope to make it easier for you to choose the right course for your needs and focus on what really matters: becoming a skilled formulator.
Improving the support you receive
We are committed to providing you with the best resources, support, and education possible. Increasing our fees will help us continue to improve the quality of our courses and ensure you get the best value for your investment.
Ensuring long-term success
These changes will help us build a more sustainable future for Formula Botanica. We want to continue supporting students for many years to come, and this will ensure we can do that while offering you a top-quality learning experience.
