The Course meets 5 days a week, Monday through Friday from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. We operate on a Trimester basis, 12 weeks per Trimester (or term). there is a one week mid-term break, as well as a summer and winter vacation. Trainees may enroll at the beginning of any Trimester when there is an opening.

The first twelve weeks (one term) of training are probationary and an evaluation will be made at the end of that time. Dismissal from the course will occur only in the case of unsatisfactory work or conduct as determined by the Director(s) of Training of the school with and advice of other faculty.

A Certificate of Completion is given provided the trainee has completed the three years of training (1620 hours) and has achieved a satisfactory level of proficiency in teaching the Alexander Technique, as determined by the Director(s) of Training and faculty.
