Q: How does the AYM Practitioner Instructor programme work?
A: Here’s how the AYM Practitioner Instructor program works; it consists of three main stages:
1) AYM STUDENT INSTRUCTOR (I, II & III):
Aspiring instructors begin their journey by enrolling as AYM Student Instructors. It involves an apprenticeship during three AYM Therapist Training Courses spanning 70 hours each. It includes the 56-hour AYM Therapist Course and 14 hours dedicated to preparation, meetings, reports and mentorship with Ananta before and after classes, totalling 210 hours of comprehensive training.
2) AYM CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR (IV):
After successfully attaining the AYM Student Instructor certification, individuals can advance to the AYM Certified Instructor IV level. In this stage, they participate as assistants during a fourth therapist training programme that spans approximately 100 hours. It includes a 56-hour AYM Therapist course, 14 hours for preparation, meetings, mentorship with Ananta before and after classes, and an additional 30 hours of tutorial support. During this 30-hour phase, apprentices play a crucial role in assisting and monitoring the progress of a group of students in the post-training period.
3) AYM DIPLOMA INSTRUCTOR (V):
The final stage of the training programme is AYM Diploma Instructor V, where participants oversee a group of students during the post-training phase and provide detailed reports based on their observations. The duration of this stage may vary depending on the progress and performance of the students. Notably, upon completing the first stage (AYM Student Instructor I), newly authorised instructors can independently conduct 2-day AYM courses.
Prerequisites for AYM Instructor training: Candidates must hold an AYM Therapist Diploma, which requires completing at least 112 hours of training and accumulating substantial practical experience.
