THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE CENTRE VIENNA

 
 

 

Teacher Training Course

The Alexander Technique  teacher training course  was established in Vienna by Michael Parkinson in April 1996.

The three-year teacher training course is approved by The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique, UK (STAT), and graduates are therefore eligible for STAT teaching certification and full  membership of the Society. Read more


In accordance with STAT regulations, the training course consists of 1600 class hours spread over a minimum period of three years.  Each academic year is divided into three terms, with the usual school holidays.  The course is in both German and English.  A working knowledge of English is essential as much of the literature relevant to the Alexander Technique is only available in English.

There are no specific academic entry requirements, but prospective students are expected to have had some personal experience of the Alexander Technique; either through individual lessons or group classes/workshops etc.  Some work experience is also desirable, and therefore a minimum entry age of 23 is recommended.  New students may join the training course at any time during the academic year.

In accordance with STAT training course regulations there is a minimum teacher/student ratio of 1:5.
The teachers who are currently teaching on the training course are:

Michael Parkinson (head of training): trained by Walter Carrington, London.
Herbert Steger
(1st assistant /anatomy and literature study): trained by Michael Fortwängler, Freiburg.
Andreas Sandri

Thomas Glen Cook (assistant/voice work): trained by Christine Batten, New York and Michael Parkinson, Vienna.

The training course also offers ongoing study to graduates from other schools.  Post-graduate weeks, months or terms are offered subject to place availability.
