CERTIFICATION & ACCREDITATION
Certification
The International Association of Vedic Astrology & Numerology unanimously started the establishment of certification standards of Vedic astrologers that the IAVAN started under the direction of Dr. David Frawley, then President of the council in 2003.
The current IAVAN certification standards are a continuation of the original council based tutor model, in which students mentor with a IAVAN recognized professional practitioner and tutor of their choice to fulfill the necessary requirements for testing and certification with the IAVAN.
The council was the first membership organization to set up standards in the west.The IAVAN has developed the Jyotish Visharada and Jyotish Kovid certification exams that set the international standards for IAVAN certification under the direction of the IAVAN Certification Committee: Dr. David Frawley, Nalini Kanta Das, Saket Bhatia, Dennis Flaherty, IAVAN Exam Provost James Kelleher, and our newest member Marianne Jacuzzi.
Please visit our national and international list of IAVAN Certified Teachers and Practitioners to find a current IAVAN -certified teacher and practitioner in your area.
All IAVAN certified teachers and practitioners instruction qualifies for certification with the IAVAN if membership is current. Once professional membership is expired or not renewed instruction going forward is not recognized by the IAVAN . Please view the IAVAN certification page to peruse and familiarize yourself with IAVAN’s certification requirements, as well as the dates of upcoming IAVAN exams.
