How meaningful is the BTEC qualification?

The successful student will achieve The BTEC Advanced Diploma for Teaching Yoga to Children. The course is the best qualification in the country for this rewarding work. Edexcel is the UK's largest awarding body offering a range of both general and specialist qualifications, for UK and international markets.

A course accredited by Edexcel is recognised and valued throughout the educational sector in the UK and internationally. The accreditation brings with it a promise of quality assurance for students who want to do the course and an increased respect from schools who will want the safest yoga for their children.

How is experience valued on the course?

Each training group will be a rich mixture of people from the yoga world and education professionals, who share equally the passion of teaching yoga to children in schools, and who will undoubtedly benefit from the sharing of expertise, the pooling of knowledge and experience, and the cross-fertilization of their skills.

Are you a suitable applicant?

Applications are welcomed from Primary and Secondary Teachers, Health Workers with experience of childcare, experienced Nursery Nurses, Special Needs specialists and, of course, from established yoga practitioners and teachers. All applicants need minimum two years yoga experience and must be able to demonstrate evidence of personal practice. Your ability to work empathetically and creatively with children is more important than a teaching qualification in yoga.
