GENERAL COURSE DETAILS
The complete course lasts for seven days, from 8:00 to approximately 15:30 daily plus an extra half
day of marketing training on day 8 of the TTC. There is a short break mid-morning, with drinks and
refreshments provided, and a break for lunch. Participants are requested to bring their own lunch.
To ensure maximum personal attention and practical experience, all Teacher Training Courses are
limited to a maximum of 12 participants.
The course is in two stages: Stage A - two days and Stage B - five days.
Stage A - the first two days - gives you a chance to see that this is really what you want to do, and
gives us a chance to see that you are really suited to this work.
From the first day, the participant will be required to prepare and present parts of the lessons.
Preparation at home will be required and appropriate teaching aids, such as toys, dolls, hand puppets,
etc. must be located and brought to class as needed.
In order to qualify from Stage A, the teacher needs to give adequate presentations.

And, of course, a new career!
In Israel, it is our belief that, based on an estimated average income for an independent HDEE
teacher, one group of 4 children learning with you for 9 months covers the initial investment that
you pay for the course and materials! A teacher working in a HDEE Learning Centre would need
approximately 2 groups of 6 children learning for about 9 months to cover this initial investment.
And we would hope that you would have at least 10 times that amount of students! The return on
your investment is fast and easy.
GRADUATION
To fully graduate, the candidate must satisfy the Teacher Trainer that she will be a good Teacher and

understanding of the Method. The essay is to be handed in on Day 6 of the course and will be
reviewed on Day 7. An adequate essay is an essential requirement for graduation.
