Feedback

Thank you IYA team for taking this initiative and conducting the training session with HSSC team for 5 days to train the master trainers in their respective fields. The training session was excellent and knowledgeable. It offered us many guidelines to help us sail through smoothly. I am very proud to be part of this wonderful journey. The assessment was very well planned. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a part of it.

A special thanks to the Indian Yoga Association team for such a wonderful training program. I am sure this will make a huge difference in the health sector as well as in the Yoga field. It will act as a bridge between yoga and medicine. My sincere thanks to my Guru Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani to forward my name for the master trainer for the yoga therapy assistant program.

A big thanks to our Platform job role master trainer Shri Vijay Kumar Reddy and Smt. Reshmi Pramod. Both trainers offered us an in-depth understanding of the course. After undertaking this course, I have realized that these types of Yoga programs in the Health Sector Skill Council will help thousands of youth in our country.

I would like extend my appreciation and gratitude for the Master training and assessment training IYA imparted to us. Both the platform and domain skills were well taught and assessed by the teach­ers. The management and staff saw to it that we had a hassle-free and seamless experience even though it was completely online.

Smt.Fharzana Siraj

The Master Trainer Program and Assessment had been a very interesting. This 5 days program gave me a good insight of the skills a Master Trainer should have on different perspective such as, person­ality, knowledge on curriculum, presentability, etc. Platform skill training was very helpful for us to understand the skill base that a trainer need to develop as per the global standards.

Domain skills training was very useful for us to develop the standards on the domain skills.
It was one of the best training for us to persuade to the next level as a Trainer. Assessment was very creatively designed with theory and Practicals & Viva. I really enjoyed the viva sessions on both plat­form skills and domain skills assessment. Thank you IYA and HSSC teams for giving us this opportunity.
