Important disclaimer
This course is intended to provide general educational information. Participants take part in TME activities fully responsible of their behavior. In order to maintain an appropriate learning environment, students having an inappropriate, disruptive, or offensive behavior may be excluded from courses or workshops. In case of exclusion, any additional costs will be borne by the participants and the amount already paid will not be refunded.
The content of the course is not a substitute for professional care or treatment. If students have or suspect that they have a physical, psychological or medical problem they should consult their appropriate healthcare professional without delay.

Certification
At the end of each course, students who wish it so can take an exam in order to receive a certificate, provided they have passed it. In order to have the full Kachupa degree, students must follow all the courses and take/pass all the examinations.
Tibetan Medicine, like many other complementary medicines, is still not officially recognized in many countries. Students must then be aware that even if this certification attests their high knowledge on Tibetan Medicine subjects, it is not an authorization to practice per se, as legal recognition and licenses depend on the laws of each country.
Thus, the participants who are already medical doctors or who already have an official authorization to practice as naturopath practitioners in their country can receive the TME certificate as an attestation for their additional knowledge on Tibetan medicine and related techniques.
The participants who have not yet graduated in any medical complementary discipline will also receive the same certificate from TME, but in order to have a legal recognition in their country as a health practitioner, they may have to obtain extra certificates depending on their country laws.
Applicable law, jurisdiction
Swiss law exclusively shall be applicable to the present contract. Neuchâtel, Switzerland is stipulated as the place of jurisdiction.
