AMI offers three types of courses:

Short workshops (for parents and education professionals)

Parents and carers are the children’s primary teachers. They are the source of love and culture which the children absorb so easily in the first years. While some might feel isolated and at loss with parenting responsibilities in general, we aim to equip them to better understand the developmental needs of their children and to break their potential isolation by building communities in which they can contribute as well as learn from others.

AMI Orientation Courses (for parents and classroom assistants)

Orientation courses are 60-hour courses, provided both in online and in person formats and given by qualified AMI trainers. They are great tools for parents, but also for individuals who want to work as assistants in authentic Montessori classrooms.

A Montessori assistant’s role is to support the teacher and promote peace and order in the classroom. The assistant values and respects the uniqueness of each child while consistently nurturing and modelling a love of learning. The assistant is a keen observer and is knowledgeable about developmentally appropriate behaviour and practices in order to support the individual needs and interests of the children.

AMI Diplomas (for classroom teachers or guides)

AMI diplomas are intensive training courses given by qualified AMI trainers, involving hundreds of hours of theoretical groundwork, observations, and practice teaching.

The Montessori teacher is a guide or facilitator whose task it is to support the young child in his or her process of self-development. They are foremost an observer, unobtrusively yet carefully monitoring each child's development, recognising and interpreting each child's needs.

The role of the teacher is to provide a link between the child and the prepared environment, introducing the child to each piece of equipment when he or she is ready in a precise, clear and enticing way. The most important attribute of a Montessori teacher is the love and respect she holds for each child's total being.

An AMI diploma is respected worldwide for its authenticity, high standards, and quality. The hands-on Montessori training provides the framework and tools for successfully teaching what works for each child, regardless of their socioeconomic status and stage of development.
