National Accreditation - Competency Investigation

Over many years different people have been involved in the task of looking at the benefits or value of the Feldenkrais Method being included into formal education processes in Australia. The Australian Feldenkrais Guild has convened sub-committees to investigate this subject being the National Accreditation Taskforce and more recently the Competency Investigation Taskforce with representatives from national Council, AusTAB, the trainer community and engaging Project Officer, Karol Connors.

The initial Discussion Paper has been distributed to members and is available for download. You will find the following documents (which are referred to in the Discussion Paper) on the National Accreditation section category in the members library.
