The professional course is designed to train you as a certified meditation teacher for kids and teens - including those with more complex needs (*autism, SEN, adhd and an intro to working with trauma).
In the professional training, we automatically include the foundation stage as an extra (free) bonus to ensure that all trainee meditation teachers have the skills and experience they need. After assessment, there is an accredited certification awarded to each new Connected Kids Tutor.
The Mindful Toolkit is a good started step for those that need inspiration to add a few teaching mindful tools to your current ideas toolkit.
The Masterclass for Trauma gives current professionals (who are already working with children with trauma) advanced mindful and energy awareness skills to add to their current, professional practice. This is an optional development step for our professional Connected Kids Tutors.
