Bringing Ayurveda into the mainstream through accreditation of Ayurveda programs, as a basis for its acceptance as a licensed profession.
AAPNA supports the efforts of The American Ayurvedic Certification and Credentialing Accreditation Council (A.A.C.C.A.C.) in bringing Ayurveda into the mainstream through accreditation of Ayurveda programs, as a basis for its acceptance as a licensed profession.
We strongly encourage all Ayurvedic professionals to support and to learn more about the importance of accredited education programs, licensure, and their benefits to Ayurvedic professionals.
Accreditation is an incredibly important facet of your education. However, many people do not understand even the basics of the accreditation process. Before choosing a school, it is important that you have a clear picture of exactly who accredits the school and what that accreditation means for your future. Without accreditation, you will find yourself with a degree employers do not respect. The following set of articles cover the basics of accreditation. From how schools are accredited, to who does the actual accreditation, to what kinds of accreditation exist, these series of articles will help you make an informed decision when choosing a school.
