During this specialist course, you will use the digital learning platform to prove that you have internalized the knowledge from this course and demonstrate your massage skills in a practical exam.

  • Qualification test: Finally, you will be activated for a qualification test on the learning platform. You will be asked 8 questions: 4 questions on the networked knowledge and application of your coaching training and 4 questions from the learning checks of your training modules. You have two attempts to answer the questions.
  • Final practical exam: Demonstration of a 45-minute Ayurvedic massage including pre- and post-treatment

Once you have successfully passed everything, you have reached your goal: your Ayurveda wellness practitioner certificate is ready for you to download from the learning platform.

 

Recommendation: Internship

We recommend an orientation internship at the Rosenberg Ayurveda Health and Spa Center so that you can put the techniques you have learned during your training into practice. The internship should enable you to find out about the tasks, activities and working conditions of an Ayurveda wellness practitioner in a practical way and find out whether this profession meets your expectations, ideas and goals.

In order to get to know all the fields of activity in the Ayurveda wellness sector, as a trainee you will be involved in the entire course of the treatment, including the therapists' team meetings. All activities are always carried out under the guidance of our experienced Ayurveda therapists and, in the case of medical cures, an Ayurveda doctor or alternative practitioner, so that you can ask questions at any time and feel safe during the practical applications.

On the spa days, your orientation internship will last approx. 8 hours in the areas of room design, massage practice, spa and guest care as well as assisting in the house.

If you are interested, please arrange an individual date for your internship with us.

Only valid for eLearning modules: Dates eWorkshops & instructional videos

As part of an eLearning module, you will have the opportunity to put the knowledge you have learned into practice. We have developed the eWorkshop concept for this purpose. Together with your fellow students and your lecturer, you will discuss a specific topic in this live event, do practical exercises or group work on it, and thus gain a deeper insight into the practical application of your Ayurveda knowledge.

In addition to the Interdisciplinary Question Forum (Q & A session), this is your opportunity to exchange ideas with your lecturer and fellow students.

Please note: You only need to attend one session. You will find an indication of when it makes sense to register for the eWorkshop in your eLearning. The eWorkshop is a compulsory part of the module and is required for your course completion. The dates for the coming year are published in the fall of the previous year.


Some of the eLearning modules may contain video content in English with German subtitles.
