How you know a NOSTOPS programme is the real thing
Every badge on a programme page is earned, not bought. Here’s exactly what each one means, how our teachers are verified, and how we protect your data and your payment.
What the badges mean
Council-Curated Programme
The programme’s structure, objectives and practices are curated and approved by the NOSTOPS Council of Gurus. You are joining a tried, tradition-rooted curriculum — not an ad-hoc class.
Verified Organisation
The company, institution or network hosting this programme has been reviewed and verified by the NOSTOPS team. Programmes from unverified organisers are never shown this badge.
Verified Teacher
The teacher leading your session has completed identity verification (KYC) and been empanelled by the Council of Gurus. Until a verified teacher is confirmed, the page simply says “NOSTOPS teacher matching” — we never imply a teacher is verified when they are not.
How we verify teachers
Identity (KYC)
Every teacher confirms who they are with a government-grade identity check before they can be empanelled or receive bookings.
Council empanelment
Senior gurus of the Council review a teacher’s lineage and practice and vouch for them — safeguarding the authenticity of the Guru–Shishya Parampara.
Ongoing quality
Participant feedback and attendance are tracked per programme so the Council can keep raising the bar — and step in if quality ever slips.
Your protection
Your details stay yours
Your name, email and phone are used only to manage your own registration. We never sell your data or add you to another teacher’s marketing list.
Teacher-first, anti-poaching
NOSTOPS exists to honour teachers. No teacher can see another teacher’s students, attendees or contacts — so your relationship with your teacher is always protected.
Secure payments
Paid registrations are processed by Cashfree on an encrypted checkout. NOSTOPS never stores your card details, and the amount you pay is exactly the organiser’s published fee.
Verifiable certificates
Completion certificates carry a reference you (or anyone) can check on NOSTOPS — proof that a session really happened and who led it.
