This is a great course for teachers who want to work their own hours, teach at their own choice of venue and set their own fees, yet still have the support of an established organisation.

​

Course content is being finalised for an April 2026 start. It involves lectures and assignments under the leadership of Dr Anna Wilson . You will meet face to face with lecturers and colleagues at the Centre on various weekends over three terms . Successful trainees will be invited to complete a practicum under SMC guidance.
