Postgraduate Study at MATTS

Further professional development within the training course

Qualified Alexander Technique teachers may join the MATTS training course on either a part-time or full-time basis. Postgraduate study at MATTS is open to teachers of all backgrounds and levels of experience and may be undertaken for either short or longer periods of time.

Some teachers join us soon after qualification because they would like further support in developing their practical and teaching skills within a friendly and supportive environment. Others return to study after periods away from teaching, or choose to undertake further work later in their careers in order to deepen their understanding of the Technique and reconsider aspects of their teaching practice.

In addition to ordinary class participation and practical work, postgraduate students are offered regular supervised hands-on groups with members of the senior training team.

Ways of studying

Study may be undertaken very flexibly. Some teachers attend occasionally alongside professional work and other commitments, while others choose to participate more intensively for periods of concentrated practical study.

Postgraduate students are always free to choose the extent to which they wish to work in the role of teacher within classes, and this may be reviewed informally at any time.

Teachers may join the school at any point during the academic year.

Fees and arrangements

Fees are the same as for trainee teachers and may be paid either on a flexible per-class basis (£66 per class) or by half-term arrangement (£1320 per half term, a reduced pro rata rate for full-time attendance).
