This introductory program of classes is intended for the student with no previous exposure to ayurveda. Made up of sixteen class hours of instruction with lectures as well as assigned outside readings, it is both a freestanding course for the individual interested in ayurveda to care for themselves and their families as well as a basis for further study. Students who complete the course and a final examination will be awarded a Certificate in Ayurvedic Self-Care & Health Maintenance.

CAN THIS PROGRAM BE USED AS THE BASIS FOR FURTHER STUDY?

Yes. Consonant with public demand and student needs, Starseed has begun to offer similar tutored, correspondence course, distance learning programs leading to certification at the practitioner ("Diploma in Ayurveda") level.

IS THE FOUNDATION COURSE AVAILABLE ON A SELF-STUDY OR DISTANCE LEARNING BASIS THE SAME AS THAT OFFERED RESIDENTIALLY?

Yes, comprising the same study materials as well as up to 4 hours of personal tutoring. In the near future, we will have videotaped lectures to supplement this format.

IS IT NECESSARY FOR ME TO HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION TO TAKE THIS COURSE ?

No, although it is much to your advantage to use the internet to take the course. Study materials (course manual and lecture notes) are provided ordinarily via e-mail. If physical mailing of your study materials is necessary, an additional charge of US$15.00 is required.
