These courses can be attended by Montessori assistants already working in classrooms, but the course content is relevant to parents, grandparents, nannies, kindergarten directors, educators working in the traditional or alternative systems and for all those interested in the knowledge of the Montessori education as well. The certificate is internationally recognised, our institute being accredited by AMI (Association Montessori Internationale).
