The Association of Placenta Preparation Arts, LLC (APPA) is so much more than a basic weekend workshop on placenta encapsulation. Considered the “Bachelor’s Degree in Placenta Arts”, APPA is the most comprehensive placenta preparation training available. APPA is an ever evolving, dynamic, international placenta preparation training and certification (APPAC) program. Built on the collective wisdom and accomplishment of industry pioneers, APPA elevates the standards for safety and ethics in placenta encapsulation education by combining time-honored traditions with scientific fact.

We offer six self-paced training modules through an online platform similar to what many universities and colleges are now using. You will have a year to complete your coursework and the freedom to work on your training on your own schedule. While each module is different, some may contain videos, demonstrations, multimedia, discussion, as well as reading. Each module has several tasks for you to complete. Each task will not only help you understand the concepts but will support you with many crucial building blocks to your new business.

Important information on how this institution requires you to behave can be found in their Code of Ethical Conduct. It includes common industry standards but also has several terms and conditions students mentioned being opposed to, such as their policy encouraging APPA Providers to offer a sliding scale, and provide services to those who do not pay.

“I have attended APPA. the content was good, however due to the lack of time to complete and the extension fees, I was not able to complete the course. I only had 2 modules left. There was also a high turnover of “mentors”, and there were times I had no idea who to submit assignments too.”
