Our school is acknowledged by both the national Alexander Technique association (ATVD) and the Affiliated Societies (ATAS, the international association of national societies), as well as by the city government. Students can make use of this to receive reductions.
Classes take place 34 weeks a year, you can participate 4 days from Monday to Thursday, 9:00-12:30. The school’s vacation periods are oriented towards the Berlin school vacations.
The teacher training course involves 1600 hours of study within 3 years and three month. Fees for the teacher training course amount to € 460 per month. After successful completion of the course you become „teacher of the F. M. Alexander Technique, ATVD.“
Classes are a mixture of practical and theoretical work in a group of max. 15 students, with the director of training and one assistant. Practical work takes up about 80% of class time.
You can begin the training course at any time, as long as there is a free place. Some trainees may see the training as a means of supporting or furthering their personal development and may not wish to practice the Alexander Technique as a profession. This is a legitimate option.
Alexander´s principles form the basis and key element of the training course.
Each student explores these principles in working on himself as well as in exchanging work with fellow students. In the last year of training students practise working with volunteers. This enables the student to pass on the acquired knowledge independently and creatively after completion of the training course. Aside from the traditional approach to learning the Alexander Technique we occasionally work with methods and texts from such fields as music, dance, acting, and education.
The Alexander-Technik-Schule Berlin is directed by Jörg Aßhoff, but understands itself as a team of teachers.
Experienced guest teachers are invited to work at the school. So far, Wilfried Hanefeld (Freiburg), Bob Britton (San Francisco), Giora Pinkas (San Francisco), Shaike and Linda Hermelin (Tel Aviv), Yael Tam (Jerusalem), Aranka Fortwängler (Freiburg), Ulli Pawlas (Hamburg), Agnès de Brunhoff (Paris) and Tamar Sarfati (Rouen, France) have been here.
We are also in contact with several other training courses whom we visit and are visited by at regular intervals to exchange work. So far, these have been the courses from Freiburg (Aranka Fortwängler), Hamburg (Ulli Pawlas), Paris (Agnès de Brunhoff) and Rouen ( Maud Krhajac).
