What Students Say About AIAS Authentic Ayurvedic Training Programs
I still cry whenever I unexpectedly see a photo of Dr Ajit... because of his dedication and passion for Ayurveda... his love of God... the panchakarma with him changed my life.
I have enjoyed the Ayurvedic massage class. It’s really beautiful and so beneficial for our health. I have felt that in class, I was in a family where all are treated as family members. It was a really wonderful environment. Thanks for your effort and support.
Dear Dr Ajit, The way you have been delivering Ayurveda to us gives me no doubt about the veracity and truthfulness in this unique science, medicine and philosophy. Thank you.
My studies at AIAS has changed the way I live my life and manage my home and family. Dr Ajit Jee as a teacher has made profound impact on my understanding of Ayurveda and what it means to have integrity as a practitioner, teacher and student. I regularly qoute him and acknowledge and mention his teachings in my workshops. I am grateful for his guidance and way of imparting this precious knowledge.My lecturer {a medical doctor) has studied Ayurveda in India. He told me that this (Dr. Ajit’s Course) is the premier course outside of India.
The AIAS really is the Centre of Ayurveda in Australia! I have previously studied nutrition, but never really been taught how to cook and prepare food correctly, so as to be more compatible with our body’s needs. This Ayurvedic cooking intensive was a great learning experience for me.
I have been a student studying with the AIAS now for a few years and my experience has been life changing! The traditional, authentic knowledge taught by Dr Ajit is so special and a very big blessing to be under his guidance. From cooking to herbs to body work treatments Ayurveda is such a well rounded, holistic science that empowers the individual to take back control of their own health and begin a truly profound healing journey
I would like to express my immeasurable gratitude to you all for the learning I have been privileged to undertake through the course. The course is of highest standard and Dr Ajit’s name is respected amongst practitioners I have encountered. The impact on my health and on my family has been significant and I look forward to having the honour of sharing this with other people
If you want a comprehensive, in-depth course on Ayurveda, then you're in the right place! Through studying at AIAS, I have found inner confidence and have learnt the skills necessary to deliver clients with the best possible service. The incredible team at AIAS helped me every step of the way and encouraged me to stretch, learn and grow into excellence! Highly recommend, thank you so much!!
Dearest Dr Ajit, Thank you so much for your dedication and passion towards teaching the sacred and essential science of Ayurveda. I highly respect and appreciate your view and approach with Ayurveda - and the relevant way that you apply it in the western and modern world. Your generosity and energy towards teaching has provided me with knowledge that I will hold onto and share with the world
I'm coming to the end of my diploma with AIAS and am so glad I chose to study with Dr Ajit. His knowledge is so deep and he is so passionate and committed to sharing authentic Ayurveda and equipping his students with all they need to be successful practitioners in their community. I love the in-person intensives especially as they are so involved and give really great hands on experience. If you want to become an Ayurveda practitioner in Australia, you need to study with AIAS.
I completed Diploma of Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultancy with Dr Ajit last year (2022) and I am currently completing the Advanced Diploma of Ayurvedic Practitioner.
I am so grateful to have Dr Ajit as my teacher. His passion for Ayurveda shines through his teaching. Dr Ajit is an authentic, traditional and true teacher of Ayurveda and he generously shares his knowledge and wisdom.
If you embrace Ayurveda, it will change your life and there is no turning back!
I highly recommend Dr Ajit at the Australian Institute of Ayurvedic Studies.
I completed my diploma course in 2016. I am continuing my advance course from last year. I think I do not need to explain anymore how good is this college. Honestly AIAS is the best Ayurveda college. Dr Ajit is amazing...
Rohini earned this certificate. Now it's your turn.
International Acknowledgements
Dear vaidya Ajitji, We went through the (AIAS students) case studies. Our view is the cases very well analyzed, based on the Ayurveda concept. We really appreciate the details of history taking focusing even on the practices of the mother, physical health, and mental condition during pregnancy that might have influenced child’s health. You have tried to correlate each symptom according to dosha, dushya, srotas and sroto dushti. Examination portion Diagnosis based on nadi pareeksha pulse diagnosis), and jihwa pareeksha {tongue diagnosis) is remarkable.

Frequently Asked Questions
The AIAS offers two, Nationally Recognised Qualifications in Ayurveda:
Yes. The AIAS is an RTO, registered to provide nationally recognized qualifications in Ayurveda under the Australian Qualifications Training Framework, AQTF). Your Ayurveda qualification is recognised throughout Australia.
To illustrate to some extent the depth of studies, the course involves:
The principles of Ayurveda are based on laws within Nature and are quite logical. If you commit yourself to the study and apply what you learn to your own life, you can become a successful representative of Ayurveda.
“Siddha” is a term in the Sanskrit language applying to one who has reached a level of ‘attainment’. Ayurveda study requires
If you can apply passion and energy towards the above qualities in yourself, you can succeed and attain everything you require in Ayurveda.
Students of Ayurveda outside of India must seek out qualified and clinically experienced B.A.M.S ‘Ayurveda Acharyas’ to learn and understand the correct knowledge, skills and applications of Ayurveda.
You will need a teacher who can convey Ayurveda in a clear and comprehensive fashion. Studying Ayurveda is in many ways, unlike studying any other subject. You will require a course where you have the time to imbibe and live the subject, to really experience it. That is, a student of Ayurveda needs to apply the subject in their own life. Then – and only then, can it be conveyed to others with integrity and confidence.
When researching course options, aim to get clear answers these questions
• Is the course provider a Recognised Training Organisation (R.T.O) in Australia?
• Will you receive authentic In-depth training in the theory and assessment methods of Ayurveda including Ayurveda pulse diagnosis and therapies, Material Medica and authentic Ayurvedic pathology, clinical case studies etc?
The Institute strongly encourages all prospective students to look into the professional background, qualifications and clinical experience of their teachers before choosing a course. The AIAS can confidently to announce that it meets all of these requirements. Our courses and tutors/practitioners have been scrutinised by ICAM, and ASQA (Australia).
This is your assurance of training excellence.
.
Yes, they are a compulsory and invaluable component of your studies. Your webinar attendance will be counted as a part of your class attendance. The weekly, live Ayurveda Webinar also provides you a regular opportunity to ask any questions related to your study.
All Ayurvedic Consultants require in depth practical training in Ayurvedic therapies. Practical training, supervision and assessment occurs in the AIAS Intensives and Practicums. These are focussed face-to-face training elements specially designed to deliver the necessary skills. They allow out students from across Australia to attend these essential trainings via Intensives rather than week to week attendance.
A well-planned and comprehensive study of Ayurveda at the Diploma level requires no less than 18 months delivery. Advanced Diploma Ayurveda would require a three-year program of study since any less time would not allow the specifically required skills and knowledge to be developed sufficiently. It’s really very similar to any credible health science training.
Under the Mutual Recognition regulations, you can gain immediate academic and financial credit for ‘Units of Competency’ you have studied through another Registered Training Organisation. You will need to provide your Qualification or Statement of Attainment. If you have completed any courses, work experience or clinical practice which is equivalent to the work required in this course, you may be eligible for course credit through our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Process. This provides a process to assess your skills and knowledge against units of competency within a particular course.
The Institute sets fees and charges for the ‘mapping’ and assessment of R.P.L. Applications, which are available on receipt of an official RPL application.
Currently there are no Ayurveda courses in Australia eligible for Government Course fee Assistance (Student VET Loan Assistance). Students must self-fund their studies.
The ‘Ayurvedacharya’ or Ayurvedic doctor (also known as a ‘Vaidya’) course of study is an official qualification for those persons who have earned their bachelor’s degree in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) in India. This degree in traditional medicine is equivalent in duration and similar in curriculum to allopathic or the modern medicine degrees around the world, though its focus is the unique science of Ayurveda.
Entrance into the BAMS course in Ayurveda is available to students with the required pre-requisites in physics, chemistry, zoology and botany, who must then pass the State entrance examination, the ‘Combined Premedical Test’. The Syllabus and curriculum have been standardised by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (C.C.I.M). The BAMS degree is awarded by a university.
The Central Council of Indian Medicine is the official body responsible for recognizing all bona fide degree holders in Ayurveda and Schools of Ayurvedic learning. CCIM plays a very significant role much like the Australian Medical Council does for Allopathic Doctors. The public can then be assured that when they consult with an Ayurvedic Doctor recognized by CCIM, they are consulting with an authentic, reputable, and properly trained Ayurveda professional.
Very few westerners have been able to pursue the B.A.M.S degree in India due to the time and expense involved in supporting oneself for 6 years in India, the fact that many courses are not hosted in English and the pre-requisite subjects and marks required for entrance into the Ayurveda degree program.
The B.A.M.S qualification is not available in Australia.
The AIAS offers two Intakes each year. Ayurveda study is not suited to ‘rolling intakes’ or haphazard approaches to enrolment, since the learning requires very careful planning, consideration and student engagement. You can request information by emailing our Ayurveda course admissions team.. Currently, admissions are open for March 2024 intake.
