Teacher Training - General Information
About the Course
New Directions course is applying for recognition by the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique and fulfils more than the minimum requirements of STAT in terms of hours of study and course content.
Each year of the three year Course is divided into 3 terms of approximately 12 weeks. Students can be accepted onto the Course at the beginning of each term; thus the training can commence in January, April or September.
The Course takes place from 09.00 – 12.45 pm Monday to Thursday . There may be occasional variations to this which will be timetabled in advance.
To give students the opportunity to practise the Technique in different situations (e.g., dancing, tai’chi, Pilates exercise, riding etc) experts from other activities will be invited to visit the Course.
Termly written work forms part of the Course. Prior to qualification students will prepare their own publicity material for their future practice, in the form of a brochure or a website.
STAT approved courses are subject to visits by a STAT Moderator.
