Requirements for Admission:

Formal requirements for admission to the Institute's programs are minimal. These include a minimum age of eighteen years and the holding of a secondary school graduation credential (high school diploma, school leaving or matriculation certificate, GCSE, GED, or equivalent qualifications as determined by one's local or national educational authorities).

In practice, most of the Institute's students are university graduates or licensed health care professionals, many of whom hold graduate or postgraduate qualifications.

Success as a student (and ultimately, as a practitioner) of ayurveda however depends little upon one's formal academic history. Rather, it depends upon three factors of nearly equal import: firstly, self-discipline, and this is more emphatically the case with students enrolled in a distance learning format program than otherwise.

Secondly, success is dependent upon the ability to read analytically, to think consistently and consequentially, and to express onesself clearly and concisely in writing.

Lastly, it is dependent upon a love for healing, an enthusiasm for its study and a strong motivation for its effective practice.

Thus, admissions decisions are wholly at the discretion of the Institute's administration. The ownership or lack of a higher education is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage to the applicant's prospects for admission. Motivation, capacity and the prospects for successful training are the Institute's sole admissions criteria.

Special Note for Holders of the B.A.M.S. Degree from Institutions in South Asia:

Individuals who are graduates of accredited or government-authorized university, hospital-based or independent professional faculties of ayurvedic medicine and surgery situated in India, Mauritius, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Thailand holding the BAMS degree (or higher) and who desire to undertake the Institute's practitioner training as an orientation to North American practice are advised to contact the administrative director for personal consultation and assessment as challenge examinations are available to such individuals for selected modules of the Diploma in Ayurveda program.
