For initial teacher training (Primary Teacher Training) we strongly recommend:
-
In-person training only in order to understand the complexities of individual body needs
-
Comprehensive Teacher Training that includes all equipment
-
At least 600 hours in-person observation/apprentice hours
Questions to ask when finding a program:
• How many hours of study does the program require? (We recommend 600+ hours, minimum).
• Will I be trained on all of the apparatus? (Comprehensive Programs are best. Mat-only courses do not cover the complexity of the method.)
• Who is the lead instructor?
• Will the lead instructor teach the course or will I be working with others?
• Who will I work with during my observation hours?
• Are there any extra fees to complete the requirements?
• What guarantees do you provide if your school goes out of business for some reason?
• Do you provide any benefits to alumni?
