Can I replace the intensive face-to-face stage with online training? Can I carry out the intensive summer face-to-face stage during another part of the year?
The intensive face-to-face stage cannot be replaced with online training. The intensive summer face-to-face training involves carrying out training in classrooms that are replicas of the prepared environments used by our students every day in a Montessori school. As such, adults can experience the educational process and have more resources for their classroom practicals.
Each stage has its period and schedule established in accordance with the timetables of the team of teachers who work as guides in this Master’s course since they come from different parts of the world and are recognized nationally and internationally due to their educational and training experience.

No. It is not necessary. You may begin with online training during the school year and continue with the summer face-to-face training or you can also begin with the intensive summer face-to-face stage, continue with the online training from the next school year and go on with the second intensive face-to-face training the following summer.
-
If I study the Master’s with you will you assure me of a work position? Do I have opportunities?
We know that Montessori training opens up a wide range of professional opportunities, but for now, and given the current situation, we cannot guarantee any jobs. Although it must be borne in mind that it is a necessary and indispensable requirement to be a Montessori guide in order to work at a Montessori school.
