How the training works
The training consists of 100 hours of online study at your own pace and 100 hours of in-person training at Le Pontillaou in the south of France. During the online part of the course, there are no live classes so you will learn through pre-recorded classes via Thinkific. The online classes can be completed before or after the on-site course. You will get access for two years from the end date of the course to complete the online studies.
During the residential part of the course, each day at Le Pontillaou follows a rhythm designed to balance study, practice, rest, and community. The program blends structured classes with time for integration, reflection, and connection. Each day may vary slightly. Sundays are generally lighter, allowing time for rest, excursions, or cultural discovery in the villages nearby. While no excursions are included in the package, you will have some free time to rest, reflect, or explore at your own pace.
