Depending on the module, classes are either Attendance Classes or Distant Learning:

• Attendance Classes are conducted at Tibet Center Austria, located in the peaceful, scenic mountain village of Knappenberg, Austria – directions »
• Distance Learning is provided online either by:
  – Live, interactive Webinars
  – or pre-recorded audio or video
  While all classes are available online, we do recommend that you attend the first and last modules in person, if at all possible.
  

The course starts with the first module on 3 – 4 July and ends with the final exam in July 2021.

Attendance Classes are offered during intensive, 2-day weekends,
while Distance Learning modules tend to be series of hour-and-a-half long classes;
you may join the live Webinars or watch the recordings online on your own time.

Because all modules are available online, and can be completed through distance study, you may join the course even after it has already started!

Upon completion of all 6 modules and positive evaluation of at least 80% of the home assignments, you will receive a confirmation of participation and are admitted to the final exam.
Students who pass the exam will receive a certificate issued jointly by Tibetzentrum Austria and CIHTS (Central Institute of Tibetan Studies, Varanasi, India).
