Dear SG, right now, we are in the process of creating these courses for the purpose of helping yoga aspirants to prepare for Yoga NET Exams, Yoga Certification Board Exams, Ph.D. and test themselves through quizzes. We are not certifying agency, so before we issue certificates, we would ensure other standards to be fulfilled while students pursuing our courses. But we appreciate your suggestion and noted down as our future roadmap to consider this in our courses. Thanks for joining our courses and we really love to hear your suggestions.
Thank you Gulshan ji for your response, is these yoga courses are available for only in state students or out of state or out of country students also? based on outside situation many collages are doing online courses now a days, do you have anything to pursue like that online get certification.
Thank you!
