NPA Supplier Review & Sourcing Hub
Finding suitable materials sometimes means asking questions, comparing experiences and looking more closely at a supplier’s claims. We created this Hub to give those conversations a place within the Academy.
It is a small, developing resource combining practical sourcing guidance with private discussion. Your questions and contributions help us build it over time.
Ask questions and share experiences
Discuss a material you are considering, ask about a supplier or share something you have learned from a purchase. Positive experiences and concerns are both welcome.
Discussions are visible to members enrolled in the Hub, so please contribute thoughtfully. Keep comments factual, distinguish personal impressions from verified findings, and respect other members’ privacy. Sensitive concerns can be raised directly with NPA.
Nominate a supplier
Recommend a supplier for consideration in the NPA Trusted Supplier Directory. Suppliers are also welcome to nominate their own businesses.
Include the business name, website, the materials offered and any relevant purchasing experience. NPA reviews nominations before deciding whether to add a listing.
Develop your sourcing knowledge
Explore guidance on reading product descriptions, checking botanical identity and extraction methods, understanding dilutions and recognising claims that need further investigation.
Purchasers remain responsible for checking that each material meets their botanical, ethical and course requirements. Directory inclusion does not certify every product in a supplier’s catalogue.
Access
The Hub is free to join with an NPA account. If you already have an Academy account, use your existing details. If you are new to NPA, you are welcome to create an account and join.
You are welcome to read and learn, ask a question or contribute when you have something useful to share.
