Teacher Training Terms and Conditions

Assessing your progress

Each participant in the training will be expected to read all assigned material and learn all key terms and techniques. Throughout the course we will be reviewing the information. You will be required to demonstrate your knowledge of the practice and ability to teach both hands-on and verbally.

We will have periodic tests and reviews of Sanskrit terms, correct sequencing, correct alignment, anatomical knowledge and more. You will be required to assist 5 of my classes as well as teach a Level 1 class as part of your final exam.

You must demonstrate proficiency in all the above categories to receive your certificate of completion and pass the course.

For each category you will receive a pass or fail. I will give you detailed feedback about how you performed with suggestions on how to improve if necessary. If you do not meet the requirements demonstrating proficiency we will discuss and work together to improve. If you still cannot meet the requirements you will not be able to receive the final certificate.

Grievance procedure

If there are any grievances concerning any portion of the training they can be made in person or in writing via email. I will seriously consider any issue a student might have and respond as soon as possible.
