The Teacher Training Course was established by Josephine Wise and Maggie Caffrey in 1992. It is recognised as a course of depth and excellence, and is the most prestigious and the most detailed course in the UK. JWAAD trained teachers now teach across the UK from Scotland to Cornwall, in France, Spain, Norway, Belgium, Ireland and Australia.

Kay Taylor joined the team of Teacher Training Tutors in 2006 and is now Head of the JWAAD Training Program, and responsible for developing it and working towards Open College Network accreditation. To find out more about Kay click here.

The course is split into two parts, with the JWAAD Foundation Course covering safety and anatomy. This is a pre-requisite to doing the main Diploma Course.
