Clinical Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant (Certificate 4) – Distance Learning 

Distance education that focuses on pedagogy technique along with instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically "on site". Choosing to learn by distance learning is the preferred option for those people who are working full time and are well motivated towards maintaining a regular study pattern without supervision. It is a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance. Rather than attending courses in person, teachers and students may communicate at times of their own choosing by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time and through other online ways.

Advantages of distance learning at AIAS

·   AIAS offers a Distance learning Ayurvedic course program; not just as modules study but the program in fact is a unique combination of theory and practical where Dr Ajit as your tutor will interact with you through video conferencing as well as face to face In-house training. 

·   Our Video conferencing addresses physical accessibility to communicate with the teacher. You don’t have to worry about gaining access to a class. Instead, you can use your own comfortable furniture in your own home while enjoying free movement and a chance to further your education.

·   Study at your own pace and at your own place. You can schedule learning around other aspects of your personal and professional life. This saves you money and time that you’d otherwise spend on travel back and forth to school. This reduces stress and increases satisfaction.

·   Easy to fit around your other commitments such as work and family. You can complete most of the classes at your convenience. You can review the assignments and do your homework during off-hours or from home.

·   Gives you the freedom of deciding where and when you want to study. Live anywhere, study from anywhere while pursuing the education of your choice. You don't have to live in the same country to attend the learning institution of your choice. You can study wherever you have access to a computer and Internet connection.

·   You can transfer the computer and Internet skills that you'll gain in the process of your distance learning experience to other facets of your life.

·   AIAS offers video Conferencing facility as a part of our distance learning program. Students will get chance to interact with the teacher for once in a month.  Audio CDs will help the students to understand the topic by listening the lecture and discussions. The In-House Practical Training is the most important component of the course. This   comprehensive 15 days in-house training will give you in-depth learning of all the practical subjects of Ayurveda

·   AIAS believe that one can’t be an Ayurvedic therapist or consultant without learning the practical component. Hence AIAS offers this 15days in-house comprehensive program.
