AMI 0-3 Diploma Deadline

In a previous newsletter, MMEF asked that applications for the 0-3 AMI Diploma Course be submitted before the end of 2017. Thank you to those of you who made it!
At your request, we have extended the deadline to Friday 23rd February latest. 
At this time MMEF will decide if there is sufficient interest for the 0-3 Assistants to Infancy Training to proceed.

The venue is booked, a highly sought after AMI 0-3 trainer secured, all that’s left to do is for you to submit your fully completed applications NOW!

Here’s what previous 0-3 students have said of the course,

“Thinking about studying for the 0-3 course could be a daunting experience, especially when you may need to be away from your friends and family for periods of time. Yet I made the decision and let me tell you, this course has completely changed my life! “ 

“There is almost nothing similar in a 0-3 environment when comparing it to a 3-6 environment. Every piece of material is used in a totally different way with the children in the first half of this plane of development. Nothing in my 3-6 training helped prepare me… I can say, hand on heart, there is no possible way I could run a successful 0-3 class with my 3-6 training such is the difference. What I did get from the training was a deep and profound understanding of a totally different child”
