I bought access to the medicinal plant academy about 3 months ago - at €1200, it's no bargain. You have to buy the hardback book for the course separately, just like the certification. All in all, you have to pay around 1800€ for everything if you want the certification.
The content of the course is good and well-founded. The only thing that really bothers me is that many of the videos can be found for free on the YouTube channel. In general, the academy consists of various videos that have been put together and recorded at different times and in different places. It simply looks as if they have taken what they have produced over the years and sold it as a course for a lot of money. This can also be seen from the fact that the content of the videos is not coordinated and there are many duplicate explanations ... a pity really.
To sum up: yes, you get something for your money. But for me, what you get is not worth the value of the course, especially as the content doesn't seem to have been created specifically for the course, but has been collected together ....

Thank you for taking the time to give us your honest feedback. It is very important to us to take all feedback seriously, as it helps us to constantly improve & grow.
Regarding your comment about the videos on our YouTube channel, we would like to correct that although the content there includes similar plant portraits, these were created as part of a 🎥 major TV collaboration and are therefore independent of our Academy course material. The Medicinal Plant Academy offers a much more comprehensive examination of the topic, specially designed for our training and exclusively for our participants. The structure is partly similar to the TV videos, as the course videos are also crisp in order to convey a lot of knowledge clearly in a short time and is a quality feature for us.
We understand your comments about the variety and timing of the videos. In fact, it is our goal and also necessary to capture the dynamics of nature authentically by showing plants in their natural environment & at their respective peak time.
Nature is in a constant state of change throughout the year, which means that our shots are taken all year round to show each plant in the right place at the right time. This is the only way to create a realistic and vivid learning experience. A sunflower cannot be shown in spring and the different locations are also in the nature of the plant world & show the diversity of Central Europe from urban plants to fields, meadows, forests and the Alps.
In addition, there are of course even more beautiful moments, places & plants that we regularly add & therefore we are pleased to announce that this year there will also be a comprehensive update, which includes new content and further optimizations. Of course, all existing participants will automatically receive access to all future updates. The quality of our courses and your satisfaction are very important to us, and we always strive to offer you the best possible learning experience. 🌻
We hope we have been able to address your concerns and look forward to continuing to guide you on your journey through the fascinating world of medicinal plants. Your feedback is invaluable to us and we are always open to dialog and improvement.
With best regards,
The team at the Medicinal Plant Academy
