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.

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.

Most useful week Ive had for a while I recently attended the 5 day mindfulness teacher training course and I have to say the course has dramatically changed my lifestyle. The trainers were well informed and educated in this field as well as having vast expertise. I learnt a lot about mindfulness, the techniques and various forms during my weeks training. I really liked the practice sessions and despite my nerves, I was surprised at how much I had learnt already. I will be taking up the offer to join the Facebook support groups and will continue to read the manual to increase my knowledge before practising with colleagues however, I'm now keen to start to deliver some mindfulness sessions to my colleagues.

This is indeed a special course This is indeed a special course! One of the most beneficial both personally and professionally that I have taken part in. Nick and Maddy were excellent facilitators, giving expert support and space for our own thoughts to emerge throughout the 5 days. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

Absolutley outstanding Well, what can I say. What an absolute pleasure it was to take part in the MBSR mindfulness now teacher training programme. I have completed a few courses in the past with CBT,MBCT and Advanced MBCT and I have enjoyed them all, but this course stands out, the team were excellent,very understanding, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I coudnt have wished for more. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. 11 out of 10 from me. Thank you ,Adrian
