What It Means to Become a Montessori Teacher

because they are unclear about what exactly their role is, or what their relationship to students
should look like.

Can I work in a childcare centre or teach in a Montessori school on the basis of these courses?
Within Australia, 50% of early childhood educators in a centre require an approved diploma level education and care qualification (or higher), with all other educators requiring an approved certificate III level education and care qualification. Centres must also have an early childhood teacher (ECT) with an approved early childhood teaching qualification. Details on these requirements can be found on the ACECQA website here. MTA courses are standalone and provide important learnings about Montessori theory and practice for educators and teachers who are already working in the sector or who have completed a generic qualification.
What Students Are Saying
Our students love our new look courses. Here is just some of the great feedback we have received. Share your thoughts at [email protected]
“I liked that each lesson included videos and step-by-step exercises. Very well organised and conceived. By following through each module, I was able to learn and build on the concepts with minimal questions or frustration. It taught me what I was looking to learn, was well organised, and well-paced. I’m already applying what I learned at work.”
