Trainees may exit the program after 400h as a certifiable ATM® teacher as recognised by the AFG Inc, completion of the second 400h will also confer certification as a Feldenkrais Practitioner of FI®. 

ATM® only teachers will complete a 6 month internship within their program which requires participation in 25h of ATM® instruction with a nominated mentor and journal of learning experiences.
