Approval

Approval for Host & Beacon Centres enables established and well-positioned educational providers to be supported, monitored and inspired by contemporary Montessori practice, across adult learning provision and offer a portfolio of well-managed and sector relevant professional development courses and qualifications.

Through a blended learning approach, our portfolio of courses and qualifications allows a mix of online and face-to-face study, connecting students globally in a transformational way. Through our global network of accredited settings students also gain access to the highest quality of practical experience whether in their placement or practical workshop training.

Within our STAR Framework, “Approval” is for education providers keen to host staff training, facilitate teaching courses and tutor trainees through a range of sector qualifications. This may include an established and expertly staffed educational setting with staff-based in the locality, preparing to host CPD and internal training events to support on-going recruitment of staff. Alternatively, it might suit a new business venture – seeking to offer training and educational career options for those working with local communities and young people, improving life chances through educational provision that is innovative, relevant and essential on the journey to supporting people to reach their potential.

  • Peer-panel scrutiny

  • Specific dedicated Host space on our website

  • Annual monitoring invitations

We are excited to be working together with Montessori Global Education in this incredible collaboration through STAR. Montessori learning is something we are passionate about as an organisation and we believe that the wealth of experience and resources we will gain and contribute to this collaboration will allow our students and teachers to grow and thrive in the global Montessori community. We are honoured to be bringing the MCI portfolio of qualifications to our region of the world.
