Two possible Pathways

You may choose to enter a training program straightaway or to develop an individual plan with an Educational Director.
  1. If you desire to enter a training program, a list of current and upcoming European trainings can be found on the EuroTAB website. If necessary a list will be sent to you. You need to apply directly to the specific training program you are interested in joining. There will be tuition fees due to the training program. You need only complete the necessary additional experience to fulfill the requirements listed below.
    You will graduate and be issued a diploma as part of that training program by the training organization sponsoring the program.
  2. If you choose to make an individual plan, you will choose an Educational Director from the list the EuroTAB will provide you, to assess your educational experience, develop a plan with you, and supervise any additional experience you may need.
    The Educational Director will want to see your curriculum vitae; a detailed description of your educational background; specific Feldenkrais training experience; trainers with whom you've studied; advanced trainings(*1), etc. Include the number of hours in your basic training and in each of your other experiences with trainers. The Educational Director may charge a fee for this professional service.
    To be issued a certificate of graduation you will have to enroll in a training programme. The training organisation sponsoring this programme will issue the certificate. There may be a fee for this.
