Certification
This is an on-campus-only certificate due to the hands-on nature of Panchakarma training. Graduates receive the Certificate in Panchakarma (Basic Level) from Mahayogi Gorakhnath Maharishi Patanjali Yog Sansthan upon completion of theory, practical assessment, and the supervised clinical practicum. This is a vocational assistant-level qualification and does not confer registered Ayurvedic physician status. Graduates work under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.
