The Learning Pathway

The Learning Pathway (TLP) is an entirely optional developmental route for any mindfulness teacher who has already qualified on the Mindfulness Now teacher training programme. TLP is offered, once a year only, to a very limited number of graduates. It is completed over a period of up to twelve months. Like the initial teacher training, the pathway is mainly experiential in nature providing the full Mindfulness Now 8 weeks programme, as well as extended, supervised training practice. It includes a ‘Train the Trainer’ certification, qualifying graduates to train others to teach mindfulness.

Compassion Focused Wellbeing Practitioner (CFW)

The Learning Pathway also prepares participants by training and subsequent qualification in the new Compassion Focused Wellbeing programme which includes approaches to teaching compassion focused therapy, as well as coaching and mentoring. The course is being run online via Zoom on Monday 6th to Friday 10th October 2025

Further Opportunities

A limited opportunity may also exist for graduates of the pathway to train the Mindfulness Now programme in certain areas, throughout Europe and beyond, either on an employed or self-employed, licenced basis. The 2025/2026 Learning Pathway is even more flexible to meet individual’s needs, meaning that attendance can be planned on courses/dates that suit you throughout the twelve months, rather than you having to fit into preordained dates.

The 2025/2026 Learning Pathway contains:

· Mindfulness trainer training

· Supervised attendance on the official 8 weeks Mindfulness Now teaching programme

· Attendance / study on at least two Mindfulness Now CPD programmes during the course of the Learning Pathway

· Practice / revision of the Mindfulness Now teacher training programme

· Attendance and qualification in the Compassion Focused Wellbeing (CFW) programme

· A further exploration of ‘inquiry’ in the teaching process

· Developing our deeper ‘presence’ in embodying mindfulness teaching

· Supervised training practice on two of the 5-day training courses

· Supervised teaching practice on at least two, informal mindfulness classes

· Trainer / tutor teaching evaluation and feedback

· Three post-training online tutorials

· Indefinite, ongoing help and support

· Certification and accreditation as an Accredited Mindfulness Teacher Trainer

· The option of attending all three (5 day) modules of the additional Mindfulness Based Clinical Hypnosis (MBCH) programme taught online, interactive via Zoom

· The option of preparation for the Hypnotherapy in Practice (HPD) ‘gold standard’ diploma qualification

· Training takes place over a twelve month period

The college wishes to make it clear that TLP is a developmental course, which includes the option of gaining the highly valued hypno-psychotherapy qualification and to formally extend your learning and train others to teach mindfulness.

Students who have competed their initial Mindfulness Now teacher training are already qualified to teach mindfulness.
