Your student enrollment contract contains specific details regarding your payment agreement, as well as the course outline and learning objectives. Course outline and learning objectives can also be found in your Training Vault upon enrollment.

This document contains the terms and conditions of your Training with IATE specifically as it relates to Tantra Mastery (our personal coaching program) OR Phase 1 (IT5T 101) of our Certification Program. This is a Training Service Agreement between you, the Client receiving training services, and Institute of Authentic Tantra Education Ltd. (IATE), a business having its principal place of business in British Columbia, Canada. This Agreement is effective upon the Client’s payment for or usage of the training services, each of which constitutes Client’s agreement to these terms and conditions.

Your Training program, whether Personal (Tantra Mastery) or Professional (IT5T 101) will consist of 12 consecutive one-hour coaching sessions. Unless otherwise agreed, sessions will be scheduled for 1x per week, every week, for the first 12 weeks. Your final (13th) session will be scheduled after a 4-week integration break.

Upon receipt of your first payment, you will also receive 12-month access to Training Learning Vault which includes:

  • Gender-specific video trainings

    • Non-payment of payment installments results in suspension of all scheduled sessions and vault access until the past due payment is made.
    • Rescheduling the same session more than 2 x’s forfeits that session (unless under circumstances of life or death or serious illness).
    • Students enrolled in the Training Program specifically for the purpose of becoming certified in Authentic Tantra are expected to apply for and if accepted, enroll the following year’s training program. The prerequisite status will be granted for a total of 2 training years,  (i.e. students enrolled in Phase 1 are expected to enroll in Phase 2 the following year. If this is not possible, the student will still be eligible for Phase 2 one year later as space allows, and at the discretion of the Senior Instructors, based upon the application, logbook, and consultation results.)
