Q: I have taken part of a Feldenkrais Training. How do I transfer into the Kelowna Feldenkrais Training?
A. There are international Training Accreditation Guidelines to which all trainings adhere, around the world. They are explicit about the steps for a trainee to leave one training and join another training, in order to ensure that the trainee is able to enjoy a complete training. The Guidelines state:
The transfer trainee will only be accepted by the Kelowna Feldenkrais Teacher Training if the trainee’s prior training program has covered comparable material.
Q: What are the opportunities for learning for trainees between segments?
A. Between-segment learning activities and Online Learning opportunities will be a large component of the teaching and learning practice in the training. Through these activities the trainees will be encouraged to actively participate in their own learning between the training segments. Between each segment the trainees will be given both specific and general activities to continue to foster their learning. Some of these will be compulsory, while others will guide the trainee in their own process of providing themselves opportunities for self-directed learning. The activities will cover all aspects of the training: their personal ATM practice, the development of their abilities as learners, the teaching of ATM, and the practice of FI. Some activities will require collaboration with their fellow trainees, and others will require more individual direction.
Trainees will be organized into small groups to support each other during the training year. If possible, these groups will be locally based to allow the trainees to meet each other to discuss their learning and practice their skills, however should this not be possible, there will be online meetings.
Regular online meetings will be held with a member of the teaching team and small groups of trainees to discuss their learning in these activities. These meetings will be monthly when trainees are not engaged in "live" teaching at the training.

- A trainee who wants to transfer from one training program to another must receive a letter from the educational director and the administrative director of his/her original program, indicating fees paid, number of days of training completed, which parts of the program completed, and a recommendation to continue the training elsewhere.
