Update 19 July 2011
I have not looked at ther schools in the last year to see what people have changed so the above information may not be correct for September 2011. Check it out and see. If you are going to spend thousands of dollars or euros on a course you should compare as many schools as you can. I feel that ours is the best because we train students to practice Ayurveda. So if your goal is to really become a practitioner then you should study with us - at least you will have a good foundation based on Caraka and not New-Age naturopathy with an Indian name :) Atreya
Update 04 January 2012
The main question we get from students who are looking into different schools is about teach contact time. Both Alex and I are very present for our e-learning students. We feel that we offer more quality time with our students than other school do with a classic structure. We have students all over the world and some cannot be at our live question and answer sessions each week. This has not posed a problem for students as they send us their questions and we answer them in detail even if they are asleep on the other side of the world. Our forum is also an inter-active way for us to work with students and for them to interact with each other. Hope this helps - Atreya
