This qualification is part of the Qualification and Curriculum Framework which means that it is a nationally recognised teaching qualification in the Further Education and Skills sector. It allows you to progress to the Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (not provided by the Shiatsu College).

You may be working with local councils, voluntary organisations or in Further Education settings and would like an accredited teaching qualification. Or you are running private classes and would like to teach in the Further Education and Skills sector.

Some of the learning outcomes of the course are addressed in the Yoga teacher training but not all. You will do extra written work, teach for 30 hours with specific observation assessments and complete a level 5 Action Research project. There will be a possible extra 2 days of contact time, online resources and lots of one to one support via email and phone/skype. You can opt for this qualification at the beginning of year 1 and 2 or at Post Graduate level. We recommend that you read the student guides before you decide.
