You will not diagnose or treat illness, and the course teaches you exactly where that line is and how to refer. The rules differ by country, so always check where you practise.

In the self-study version you receive a free Certificate of Completion when you finish all module quizzes and email us one case study, written with the case presentation template, to [email address]. Live course students can then sit the optional exam (€79) and receive the Holistic Ayurveda Health Consultant, Level 1 certification with a registration number in the Shivani Ayurveda graduate register. Self-study students can sit the same exam when they apply for Level 2. It is a Shivani Ayurveda certification, based on international standards for Ayurvedic training, for coaching, wellness consulting and personal practice. Rules for practising differ from country to country, so please check your own country’s regulations.
