AUSTAT Approved

AUSTAT is the professional body in Alexander Technique Australia. It sets down an Australian Training Standard that assures the quality and content of your training.

Michael Shellshear mAUSTAT is an AUSTAT Approved Teacher Trainer (AATT). AATT’s have met the AUSTAT Teacher Trainer Standard. It requires proficiency in experience, organisation, adult learning experience, record keeping, Alexander Skills and networking within the Alexander Technique community in Australia.

Training with an AATT means that your training will have a high degree of recognition, provides you with a pathway to becoming an AUSTAT certified Alexander Technique teacher, and ensures that your training is  of the highest quality.

Flexible Training

Our Alexander Technique teacher training program is modular in its design. Some of the background and academic components of the course can be completed online. There are options for completing the face to face components that you can tailor to meet your circumstance.

Because of the small size of our training school, you can tailor your training to allow you to keep normal work hours. Come and experience just one module or complete all twelve modules to gain your qualification.

Alexander Technique pathways

You’ve experienced Alexander Technique and now you want to deeply enter into learning it.

As an AUSTAT Registered Trainee you benefit from being provided with an AUSTAT training logbook that records your training progress. It allows you to study with us in Blue Mountains  and then choose to study with another AATT in Melbourne, Canberra or Hobart.

Your Training Logbook gives you the ability to accurately claim recognition for learning that you have completed towards an Alexander Technique Qualification. You can see the design of your training and instantly understand your progress.

It also means that you can train to gain your Alexander Technique teaching qualification in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Alexander Technique training

Teacher Training is a time to discover yourself,  as well as the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge based around the discoveries of FM Alexander.

This is an opportunity to accrue profound knowledge about yourself. The development of conscious awareness allows you to move, create posture and balance with great accuracy and intention. As you begin to develop what John Dewey called, “Thinking in Activity”  you can find out about yourself in ways that are positive and expanding.

 

You will want to share your discoveries about your use of your self with others through teaching. You will work with an Alexander Technique teacher with more than thirty years continuous teaching experience, who holds adult education teaching qualifications and who has trained trainers since 2005. Around us, an extraordinary team of brilliant teachers, musicians, neuroscientists and extraordinary Alexander Technique teacher trainers.

As you evolve outstanding communication skills, teaching skills and the ability to provide strong somatic experiences to individuals and groups, the training will teach you to discover professional models of care and respect for yourself and for your future clients.

You learn through activity, cognition and integration within an exciting, supportive environment.
