GBA 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.

GBGreat 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.

GBI’m week 5 of an 8 week mindfulness… I’m week 5 of an 8 week mindfulness course and have been trying to contact the institute via the online learning platform, since week 4, I have not been receiving the emails with links to the meditations and they are not available on the learning platform. I have emailed several times and left a voice message and have had not response? I’m a single mum and I am trying to develop myself and feel like I have had no support whatsoever - would love it if someone would contact me and put my mind at ease that I have not been duped!

GBMindfulness 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.

GBI attended this 5 day intensive teacher… I attended this 5 day intensive teacher training course, and cannot recommend it enough. Nick and Maddy have a wealth of experience in mindfulness and have put together a really well structured and informative course. They guided us through each element of the Mindfulness Now programme, always checking in to ensure we fully understood what they were teaching us. I felt totally at ease and comfortable to ask questions and share with the group when encouraged to. It was an incredible week of learning with a wonderful group of people and inspiring teachers. I now have access to a wide range of resources and feel fully armed to begin my own mindfulness teaching journey.
