The AP Title & NAMACB Eligibility

Sit a supervised final exam and earn the professional Ayurvedic Practitioner title. You can also pursue the national board exam through our NAMACB Bridge Pathway.

Your Certificate and Your Title

Membership gives you the full 1,500-hour curriculum. To earn the professional AP title, request Certification through the Registrar. The NAMACB board exam is administered and priced by NAMACB, and any clinical training at a partner institution is set by that school — see the NAMACB pathway for how they fit.

Who You Become

At 1,500 hours, the cases get harder, and that's the point. People find you after they've tried the simpler things: after the coach, the counselor, and their own research. They bring you the complicated pattern: the imbalance building for years, the case with three overlapping concerns instead of one.

You have the training to trace it: pathology, advanced herbal protocol, Pañcakarma theory, structural and reproductive health, and the judgment to know which thread to pull first. This is the deepest scope this program offers. For students pursuing the national board exam, it is the door into NAMACB eligibility and a credential recognized well beyond this school.

It's still not a replacement for medical care — the best practitioners at this level work alongside physicians, not instead of them. This is where Āyurveda stops being an idea you understand and becomes a discipline you practice, on real people, with real responsibility.
