Mindfulness Now Teacher Training College This is a five day non residential course which teaches you the format of their own version of the classic MBSR and MBCT 8 week courses. You essentially leave with a handbook a few meditation techniques and a course syllabus to use. Teaching how to hold space for students or groups is not featured, and minimal opportunities for practice teaching is given. The assessment time framework is rigid and takes no account of individual needs and circumstances even if a trainee experiences any family life crises or loss within the assessment timeframe. Very little to no support is given during the assessment window. Don’t waste your time or money.

Great Mindfulness Course I found the course extremely well delivered and structured with suitable breaks and time for reflection. The location was perfect to aid the learning of teaching mindfulness and all the trainers were friendly, approachable and welcoming. I look forward to participating in more training with Nick and the team in the future.

Mindfulness NOW Teacher Training (22-26 Mar) I had a great experience with the course. It was well-paced, with lots of personal anecdotes and experiences shared which helped me loads. Plus, even though it was done online, trainers still managed to help the group bond fairly well by making the environment safe and conducive for sharing, as well as allowing for diverse views and perspectives to be heard. The manual and videos provided are detailed and clear, but allows for our own personality to be added. I look forward to checking in with the trainers again and continuing to receive support from the community. Thank you once again!

A great school of Mindfulness A great school of Mindfulness, gentle, and realistic training to meet today’s challenges. Great support by tutors and the supervision is also very up to date. Latest research and links to Neuroscience is also very helpful for teachers. The friendly environment created is an added bonus.

A superb course with humble and experienced facilitators. I attended the Birmingham Teacher Training course with Nick, Rachel and a guest teacher from Oxford. They all brought something different and held the space beautifully. I've attended and taught many courses in related field, so I am pretty fussy! I was not disappointed. And the experience for myself was elevating and revitalising. I plan on returning for a refresher or more courses.
