International Students

International Students are very welcome to study at the ATTS.

The ATTS was accredited for a number of years from July 2017 until 2023, by the British Accreditation Council, BAC, for Independent Further and Higher Education as a College.

Our accreditation was a huge endorsement of our high standards. The BAC a National and Government endorsed marker of excellence in the content and delivery of our Training. We are to date the only Alexander Training School to have achieved this award.

We decided to pause our yearly accreditation with BAC after Brexit, as the situation for International Students was and still is a changing environment.

However, we are now able to offer a full route to STAT Alexander Teacher Certification over a period of 4 and a half years, rather than the more traditional 3 year period for those students who are entitled to study in the UK and can obtain a 6 months visa.

For this reason, we have tailor-made a series of 6 month courses, called Modules, which span 2 terms, 10 weeks in each term, and which offer full credit for these 2 terms. The 10 week term is supplemented by 6 private lessons. The student will then hopefully be able to renew the short term Visa each year in order to continue training with us. Each subsequent year we will offer an additional course for 6 months which will count as 2 extra terms. And so over a period of less than 4 and a half years, amounting to 10 terms, the student will have complied fully with the criteria for STAT qualification and certification.

The 5 progressive modules are as follows:

• Foundation Skills
• Basic Skills
• Intermediate Skills
• Advanced Skills
• Qualification & Post Graduation Skills

However, the 6 month course does stand alone as an excellent foundation course for Teacher Training in the Alexander Technique.

Not only does this 6 month period offer a solid grounding for professional training in the Technique, but it also provides a powerful tool for personal development. The intense engagement with the Technique develops an array of personal, psychological and emotional capacities that can enrich ones life and enhance ones emotional and physical wellbeing. Students usually report that the Training at the ATTS is one of the most rewarding learning experiences of their adult lives.

Non-UK potential students should Contact us  with any Visa queries, and to get more information about the contents of the progressive Training Modules. We will be very happy to work on your behalf in order to support your opportunity of studying with us. We can also arrange a Zoom chat.
