How are the courses structured?
Some of the courses are one day some three day and some are on line.
The short courses are easy to understand and are mostly hands on, learning step by step.
The long courses are either modules or are practical workshops. Each module has its own test paper at the end. This has to be completed before moving on to the next module. The amount of time each module takes depends on the module. As a guide each module should take around 3/5 weeks. If requested it may be possible to give the next module for research purposes only, whilst your previous work is being assessed. Our workshops on Ayurvedic massages and therapies focus on the relevant theory and practicalities on how to do the individual Ayurvedic treatments. Workshops are carried out at salons nationally.
