Training & Qualifications
About the Training
We wanted to create the ultimate learning experience for all our delegates and look to teach in small groups. That way we can concentrate our teaching in a more thorough way and all our delegates will leave, safe in the knowledge that they can put into practice, what they have learned with confidence. Spaces are limited on our Baby Yoga & Baby Massage Training courses – so it is advisable to enrol early.
Course content
Our courses are taught on a flexible basis to the highest standards of safety and professionalism. The courses consist of two intensive immersive learning workshops, ‘hands-on teaching’ practice, written assignments, practical experience in the field and case studies. Unlike other training providers, we will also provide you with detailed ready-made lesson plans and a detailed Instructor’s Manual. You will be fully qualified within four months of starting the course and can begin setting up classes straight away.
