Yes, this course is facilitated entirely online via MELT University Online and using Zoom.

To receive your certificate of completion and be granted your status as a MELT Level 1 Instructor, you will need to successfully complete all assignments in the online course and pass the final open-book assessment.

The course is not self-paced, but there’s some flexibility in the schedule. It’s a 3-month course that starts 9/21/21 with scheduled live Zoom sessions (which cover different moves and sequences, so it’s important you have completed specific modules before joining the Zoom sessions with Sue). A detailed module schedule will be shared with you when the course begins. If you can’t make a live Zoom session, that’s ok (we’ll record it for you and share) but the live sessions are the essence of the training and will ensure you get the most out of your time and tuition, because they provide live, personal feedback to help you refine your skills.

If for any reason you’re unable to complete the course within the course timeframe, you can apply for an extension by emailing our Instructor Support Team.
