As our students and instructors are international, there are no standardized class times. Instructors have the ability to set classes for the times that are convenient for them, and students have a variety of courses to choose from every month. On-demand classes can be completed in the students’ own timeline. This approach allows students to move at their own pace – for some, they will be able to take all of the courses they need in a year. Others will be on this journey for much longer, but all will get the support they need to succeed. GEMS College will be closed every year from December 15-January 15 for holidays and to catch up on administration.

POLICY INFORMATION
CODE OF ETHICS
The GEMS College of Energy Medicine expects all Members (such as students, instructors, content creators, mentors, conclave representatives, etc.) to read and respect the following Code of Ethics:
2022
1. Any student, regardless of where they come from or who they studied with previously, is welcome in our courses. An international school with international students. We understand that students have the right to study with whomever they like and do not try to limit or restrain their movement and progression. 2. We are committed to promoting diversity within the specialized kinesiology industry. It is our goal to create an environment that feels safe, supportive, and fun for people of all races, genders, ages, abilities and orientations. 3. We feel that collaboration is the best way to move our entire industry forward and promote it. Our network of instructors, practitioners, and mentors is here to support each other and create the best possible learning environments – both in person and online. Instructors do not compete for students, but understand that we attract those that we can help. 4. Slanderous or bullying behaviour is not tolerated in any way. 5. Full transparency, authenticity, and accountability. We understand that we are doing things differently than they have been done in the past. We know we might make mistakes as we shake things up, but it is all on the table and we are doing our best to move forward with highest integrity. 6. Certain personal information may be required for your enrollment in a course, which we will use to ensure you receive all materials and resources associated with the event. We do not advise you share your personal information in forums or other public spaces associated with the College, though this is up to your own discretion and the College is not responsible for this. 7. Do not share the personal information of any individual you are not legally responsible for on any forum or public space associated with the College without explicit consent from the individual. If you are asking for feedback or resources on a specific situation, please remove or alter any identifying details. 8. Please credit owners of resources posted/used/referenced in College related spaces, and use content warnings on sensitive material. 9. As a community we uphold values of respect, kindness, equality, cooperation, and integrity. Keeping these things in mind should avoid most conflicts. That being said, breaches of the Code of Ethics or other issues that require attention from the Conclave can be reported through this form (link form). 10. This is meant to be joyful and fun! This is the best career in the world, and we are happy to have you here! Our 25 number one priority is the wellbeing of College Members as a community.
