12-Month Teacher Training Programme
Date: 11/01/2025 - 06/12/2025
Location: Online
Where we have more applications than spaces, applications will be prioritised from those who have access to a population and setting where they are actively involved and will be able to introduce MBCT. Specifically we will prioritise applications where there is the potential to engage with marginalised or underrepresented communities and where we might be able to support the implementation of MBCT into non-English speaking communities through training bi-lingual teachers.
Please note that places may be offered in advance of the application deadline as applications are received and reviewed. We may also choose to delay making final decision on applications until the deadline. Early applications are encouraged.
Please check that you can attend all the dates scheduled for the training - in the descriptor for this event. If you know that you cannot attend any of the dates, please do not apply for the training and apply for another commencement date when you can attend all the days.
