Teacher Training

The UMA Montessori teacher certification training program is a distance-learning program, whereby participants correspond exclusively by email. Students will receive the lesson responses in the form of Microsoft Word attachments. Each assignment may be downloaded and printed up as hard copies for use in personal manuals. Books required for reading assignments may be purchased separately and are the sole responsibility of the student (see Materials and Costs page).

UMA teaching manuals and DVDs will be mailed via the postal service and are included in the cost of tuition.

The projected time of completion is 12 months. The entire study must be completed within 18 months from the starting date indicated on the enrollment agreement. See Policy Handbook for complete details.
