Please contact Alliance of International Aromatherapists (AIA) or National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA). Both these organizations maintain lists of classes offered by reputable providers, as well as schools that offer turnkey programs that will allow you to sit for membership in a professional organization or for the Aromatherapy Registration Council (ARC) exam.
Please note that an "aromatherapy certification" is an absolutely meaningless document, since any company can claim that they offer one. Receiving a certification from any given provider does not necessarily mean that you have recieved a quality education or are competent to perform aromatherapy.
What does carry some weight however, is a national registration (RA) from ARC or a CMAIA certification from AIA. Both of these mean that you have received 200+ hours of classroom training from a reputable provider in the industry, have shown minimum competencies, have passed a board exam (in the case of ARC) and are committed to continuing ed to maintain your registration or certification.
My company, Aromaceuticals, provides quality classes that can be used toward qualifying for membership in a professional organization and toward certification/registration. Although I do not have a 200 hour program in place at this time, individual Aromaceuticals classes will be accepted by portfolio review.
