A short course may be undertaken by any yoga student keen to develop a specific area of learning related to yoga. Some courses are designed for experienced practitioners and yoga teachers only whereas others may be tasters for further training and development. Short courses represent a serious commitment to an intensive or medium term of study. The course can be run intensively over a weekend, a week or longer depending on the overall aims and intended learning outcomes. A short course can be as short as a 12 hour training over a weekend up to 60 hours over a 6 month period or longer. Stated. Please apply to the tutor directly for a student prospectus where suitability and entry criteria for any given course will be clearly stated. Short courses may meet one or more of the following needs- Personal Development: Students will undertake a course of learning to enhance their own practice. Improve Teacher Skills: A course may provide specialist training just for Yoga teachers. Some include assessments where student teachers are observed applying their new skills. Working with Vulnerable people: Modules that focus on working with vulnerable people will usually have some kind of assessment element. These courses may involve working with Children or Vulnerable adults. Students may be expected to hold a Disclosure and Barring Service certificate and a Safeguarding Certificate as a pre-course requirement unless it is part of the training itself. Please check the student prospectus carefully before applying. Credit towards a BWYQ Diploma: Some Progression courses may be delivered in a modular format. These short courses are designed to generate valid, relevant and sufficient evidence which can be used as RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) towards the completion of a BWYT or BWYQ Diploma in Yoga teaching.
