Modular Training Classes, Starting July 2013
The modular training program is a carefully developed, long-tested training schedule that allows rapid and successful progression and completion of your professional Somatics development. Students complete the first Semester's 150+ hours in only two 9-day long "weeks" (classes start on a Saturday and continue through to the following Sunday). This enables students to begin working with clients using their first full level of skills starting only one month after they began.
This is an exciting way for busy professionals to enhance their practices without disruption, and for those new to the field to transition smoothly to a new career. It facilitates exploration and mastery of the material for trainees of all skill levels and backgrounds. Click here to download more detailed information...
Class Structure
The program is conducted in three semesters. Each semester is approximately 150-200 hours in length. In total, the training course consists of 500 hours of supervised in-class education.
The first semester will occur over two 9-day modules, held only a few months apart. The second and third semester each follow approximately 6-8 months afterwards, so students complete their full training in only 24 to 28 months.
Class hours are generally begin at 9:00 AM, and end between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Lunch breaks of approximately 1 to 2 hours (depending on the day's schedule) are provided each day. There are class meetings held on just a few evenings (following a dinner break) before 9:00 PM. In developing the intensive training course format, experienced educators have taken great care to create a class schedule which allows for a comfortable, successful learning experience.
Class size is limited to 20 students. The student:teacher ratio ranges from 10:1 to 4:1. Click here for information on the Training Team.

Application Deadlines and Fees
The Training Program offers rolling admissions and enrollment: Applications are reviewed in the order in which they are received, and accepted applicants are granted admissions on a first-come first-served basis. Furthermore, there is still a standard application deadline, so most students will apply as soon as possible before that deadline. Therefore, it is recommended that interested persons apply as soon as they are interested to take advantage of greater availability. Additionally, early action options are available for reduced fees.

Please note that even though admissions is rolling, there are set application deadlines. While rolling admissions means you should apply to the program if you miss these deadlines, it is best to submit your application as soon as possible before the deadline,
On the other hand, rolling admissions also means if space is available after standard deadlines, qualified applicants still may be able to attend the program. In other words, if you are interested in the program at any time, we welcome and encourage your application!
