Our Meditation Teacher Training Course gives you the skills and confidence to share the benefits of meditation with others. It will help you to plan, lead, and promote meditation or mindfulness classes, whether your approach is secular, spiritual or mindfulness-based. Designed for people with personal experience of meditation or similar practices, it’s available as a home study course or an interactive workshop.
This training is open worldwide, with UK-based guidance on areas such as the law, health and safety, and insurance. It’s suitable to add classes to an existing wellbeing practice or as an entry to the wellness field.

- Learn presentation and group management skills transferable to other topics (e.g. relaxation, mindfulness, self-hypnosis).
- Open up new opportunities in the wellness field for your practice.

If you’re new to this area, we recommend taking our Mindfulness in Therapy course first. There’s a special offer at the bottom of the page if you wish to purchase both courses at the same time.)

Feedback On This Course
You always provide a lot of information and lots of positive ‘can do’ statements… I also know that I can always contact you if unsure about anything, which for me is a really big benefit. KR
[I liked] the vast extent of hints and tips to take the course forward. Both business and practical elements. Not only do I have new ideas to set up my business but find myself incorporating some of the course material in my everyday life. DF
