Training Program Information

There are two in-depth teacher-training programs available for MFA students:

1. The ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°Õ°¿±·±õ°ä® Level I Teacher Training Program is available for those interested in becoming a ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°Õ°¿±·±õ°ä® Trainer
2. The ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® Level I Teacher Training Program is available for those interested in becoming a ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® Trainer

After successfully completing one of the level I teacher training programs, trainers continue to develop their teaching skills by taking specialized courses in the method(s) they are qualified to teach. The ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°Õ°¿±·±õ°ä® and ³Ò³Û¸é°¿°­±õ±··¡³§±õ³§Â® methods are complimentary and some people choose to pursue training in one of the methods, while some study both.
