Teacher Training in the Alexander TechniqueWest London, UK£1527.50 per term |
|
|---|---|
| Teacher(s): | The Constructive Teaching Centre |
| Description: | The Constructive Teaching Centre was established in 1960 by Walter Carrington as the new home for F.M.Alexander's original training course which he was supervising at the time of Alexander's death. |
| Note: | Candidates for admission must be of good health, character and education. Since Alexander teachers are often called upon to work with people of widely differing ages, needs and interests, almost any form of previous training and experience can be an advantage; but none is essential. A thorough course of instruction in the Technique however, on a basis of individual lessons is presumed. Candidates may be admitted to the Course for a Probationary Term, during which their suitability for the training can be assessed. |
| Website: | http://www.alexandertek.com |
| Open to: | The Centre also offers opportunities for postgraduate study for suitably qualified Alexander Teachers. Contact the Centre for details. |
