We are accepting applications on an ongoing basis and the course capacity is limited to ensure high quality of teaching.
The course is suitable if you are looking for a recognised, UK accredited qualification in early years care and education and wish to specialize in the Waldorf approach to early childhood; our Conscious Teaching Diploma in Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Studies (Early Years Educator) is recognised by the Steiner Waldorf Schools Fellowship (UK) as the required training for teaching in a Steiner Waldorf kindergarten. The course is a UK registered and regulated teaching (OFQAL) qualification and is also endorsed by IASWECE (International Association of Steiner Waldorf Early Childhood Education).
We also offer the popular option of undertaking “Extended Units” on to the diploma to meet the required number of hours to be recognised as an equivalent local qualification for Registered Teacher status in Hong Kong. Many past students have undertaken this add-on.
