Yeah, well, in Europe this might work, but in the US, not so much. You can’t even audit more than once unless you sign up for the entire thing? Um, do the Europeans still not have a clue how big the US is and how much travel time and expense they’re talking about? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.[/QUOTE]
Oh, are they still putting that limit on the auditing? You are right, that is not smart. No-one with a job could commit to audit three 4 day sessions a year, especially if it involved travelling to the clinic.
That said, I would check with the individual farms in the USA to see if they are in fact following that rule for their clinics.
As far as I know, the American Teacher’s Clinics have students and are up and running, so it is working. If you were interested in studying the method, you could contact any of the farms to see if they were running open clinics, or any of the student teachers, to see if they are accepting students. I understand the program seeks people who are already instructors, and a lot of the students in the Teacher’s Clinics are already experienced instructors.
